40
41 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
42 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
43 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
44 action now properly rebinds the key.
45 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
46 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
47 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
48 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
49 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
50 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
51 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
52 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
53 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
54 window.
55
569.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
57 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
58 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
59 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
60 same height but different ascent.
61 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
62 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
63 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
64 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
65 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
66 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
67 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
68 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
69 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
70 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
71 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
72 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
73 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
74 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
75 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
76 but not documented.
77 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
78 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
79 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
80 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
81 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
82 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
83 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
84 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
85 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
86 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
87 associated to a matched pattern.
88 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
89 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
90 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
91 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
92 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
93 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
94 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
95 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
96 by Thomas Otto).
97 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
98 way properly.
99 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
100 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
101 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
102 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
103 #830236.
104 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
105 window/popup has been destroyed already.
106 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
107 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
108 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
109 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
110 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
111 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
112 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
113 simpler and actually more correct code.
114 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
115 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
116 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
117 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
118 frame buffers).
119 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
120 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
121 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
122
1239.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
124 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
125 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
126 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
127 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
128 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
129 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
130 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
131 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
132 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
133 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
134 the CLIPBOARD selection.
135 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
136 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
137 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
138 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
139 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
140 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
141
1429.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
143 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
144 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
145 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
146 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
147 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
148 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
149 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
150 function.
151 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
152 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
153
1549.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
155 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
156
1579.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
158 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
159 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
160 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
161 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
162 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
163 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
164 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
165 Münnich).
166 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
167 are disabled.
168
1699.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
170 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
172 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
173 Hemmer).
174 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
175 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
176 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
177 patch by Jan Larres).
178 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
179 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
180 as diagnosed by clang.
181 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
182 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
183 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
184 nickfailure@gmail.com).
185 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
186 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
187 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
188 for details.
189 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
190 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
191 which show up in -help etc.
192 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
193 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
194 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
195 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
196 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
197 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
198 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
199 - remove support for libafterimage.
200 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
201 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
202 libptytty instead.
203 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
204 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
205 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
206 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
207 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
208
2099.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
210 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
211 thinks thats an error.
212 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
213 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
214 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
215 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
216 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
217 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
218 and destination in composite operations.
219 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
220 for tabs.
221 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
222 Sung Pae).
223 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
224 - fix -C option on solaris.
225
2269.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
227 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
228 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
229 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
230 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
231 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
232 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
233 to disable both scaling and tiling.
234 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
235 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
236 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
237 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
238 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
239 in the next release.
240 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
241 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
242 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
243 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
244 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
245 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
246 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
247 Filardo).
248 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
249 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
250 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
251 the cell size.
252 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
253 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
254 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
255 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
256 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
257 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
258 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
259 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
260 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
261 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
262 (Bob Farrell).
263 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
264 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
265 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
266 Pohlack).
267 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
268 Michael Stapelberg).
269 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
270 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
271 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
272 edge (Mikachu).
273 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
274 handle exceptions better.
275 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
276 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
277
2789.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
279 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
280 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
281 support the UTF8_STRING target.
282 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
283 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
284 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
285 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
286 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
287 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
288 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
289 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
290 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
291 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
292
2939.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
294 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
295 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
296 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
297 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
298 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
299 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
300 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
301 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
302 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
303 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
304 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
305 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
306 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
307 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
308 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
309 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
310 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
311 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
312 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
313 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
314 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
315 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
316 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
317 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
318 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
319 with gcc.
320 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
321 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
322 - document 'thickness' resource.
323 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
324 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
325 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
326 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
327 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
328 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
329 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
330 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
331 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
332 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
333 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
334
3359.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
336 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
337 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
338 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
339 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
340 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
341 failures with gcc 4.5.
342 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
343 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
344 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
345 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
346 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
347 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
348 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
349 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
350 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
351 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
352 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
353 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
354 and has fewer limitations.
355 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
356 startup for the upper left corner.
357 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
358 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
359 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
360 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
361 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
362 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
363 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
364 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
365 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
366 - fix build on XFree86.
367 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
368 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
369 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
370 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
371
3729.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
373 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
374 - the bestest release ever.
375 - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
376 - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele Giaquinta).
377 - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
378 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
379 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
380 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
381 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
382 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
383 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
384 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
385 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
386 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
387 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
388 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
389 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
390 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
391 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
392 characters other than first one in the selected cell
393 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
394 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
395 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
396 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
397 (found by Mikachu).
398 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
399 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
400 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
401 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
402 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
403 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
404 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
405 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
406 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
407 for 256 colours.
408 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
409 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
410 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
411 88*88 possible pairs.
412 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
413 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
414 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
415 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
416 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
417 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
418 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
419 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
420 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
421 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
422 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
423 backspacekey was given.
424 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.

438 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
439 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
440 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
441 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).

443 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
444 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
445 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
446 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
447 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
448 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
449 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
450 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
451 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes

464 in need of fixing. go figure.
465 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
466 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
467 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using

478 - updates libev to 3.48.
479 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
480 when a window was closed.
481 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
482 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
483 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
484 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
485 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
486 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
487 makes copy&paste work.
488 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
489 no longer apply.
490 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
491 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
492 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
493 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
494 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).

499 the only known workaround.
500 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
501 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
502 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.

504 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
505 disabling size hints.
506 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
507 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
508 as mouse reporting.
509 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
510 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
511 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
512 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
513 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
514 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.

531 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
532 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
533 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
534 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
535 help working window managers as well.
536 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
537 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
538 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
539 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources

550
5519.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
552 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
553 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is

556
5579.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
558 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
559 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
560 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
561 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
562 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
563 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
564 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
565 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
566 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
567 channels or background images are used.
568 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
569 till the first event arrives. or so.

571 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
572 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
573 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).

575 resets the terminal.
576 - scrollbar code cleanups.
577 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
578 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
579 - updated to libev 3.0.
580
5818.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
582 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
583 when the command exited but only on the next X event.

586 would not clear it visually in another.
587 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
588 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
589 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).

596 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
597 effects.

599 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
600 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
601 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
602 text was visible.
603 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
604 some minor improvements.
605 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
606 display and not once per terminal window.
607 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
608
6098.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
610 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
611 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
612 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
613
6148.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
615 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
616 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
617 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
618 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
619 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
620 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
621 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
622

632 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
633 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
634 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
635 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
636 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
637 - parallel builds should work once more.
638

667 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
668 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).

678 (found by Aiviru).
679 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives

692 Paskevich).
693 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
694 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
695 - update libptytty.
696 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
697 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
698 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
699 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
700 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
