11 => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
12 resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
13 or something like that. guys, send me a patch.

268.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
27 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
28 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
29 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
30 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
31 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
32 (found by Aiviru).
33 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
34 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
35 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
36 case to work around for :/
37 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
38 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
39 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
40 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
41 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir.
42 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
43 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
44 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
45 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
46 Paskevich).
47 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
48 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
49 - update libptytty.
50 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
51 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
52 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
53 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
54 from (50,50) to (0,0).
55 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
56 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
57 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
58 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor.
59
608.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
61 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
62 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
63 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
64 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
65 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
66 Reported by Takano Akio.
67 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
68 reported by exg.
69 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
70 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
71 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
72 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
73
748.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
75 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
76 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
77 circumstances (reported by exg).
78 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
79 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
80 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
81 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
82 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
83 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
84 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
85 - update to libptytty-1.0.
86 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
87 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
88 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
89 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
90 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
91 bug #143985).
92 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
93 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
94 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
95 - manpage fix by exg.
96
977.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
98 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
99 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
100 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
101 it does! :->
102 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
103 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
104
1057.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
106 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
107 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
108 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
109 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
110 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
111 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
112 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
113 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
114 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
115 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
116 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
117 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
118 uppercase character.
119 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
120 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
121 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
122 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
123 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
124 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
125 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
126 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
127 generic osc_seq.
128 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
129 were invoked recursively.
130 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
131 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
132 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
133 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
134 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
135 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
136 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
137 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
138 by omatunto_.
139 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
140 follow C++ closely enough.
141 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
142 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
143 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
144 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
145
1467.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
147 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
148 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
149 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
150 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
151 click, and eats the click.
152 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
153 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
154 refresh bugs please.
155 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
156 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
157 improve size hint setting.
158 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
159 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
160 to correctly position their preedit window.
161 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
162 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
163 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
164 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
165 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
166 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
167 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
168 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
169 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
170 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
171 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
172 (reported by Paco-Paco).
173 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
174 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
175 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
176
1777.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
178 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
179 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
180 resource value.
181 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
182 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
183 relevant tab window.
184 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
185 (initial patch by hednod).
186 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
187 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
188 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
189 the benefit of automove-background.
190 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
191 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
192 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
193 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
194 __linux__.
195 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
196 the colour components.
197 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
198 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
199 - more colour rtt optimisations.
200 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
201 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
202 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
203 - minor libptytty update.
204
2057.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
206 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
207 detection:
208 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
209 - overlap detection was improved.
210 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
211 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
212 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
213 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
214 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
215 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
216 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
217 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
218 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
219 broken.
220 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
221 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
222 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
223 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
224 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
225 (patch by Paco-Paco).
226 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
227 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
228 an "[alpha]" prefix.
229 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
230 transparent. Long Live Xft!
231 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
232 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
233 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
234 on a pseudocolor screen.
235 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
236 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
237 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
238 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
239 - small configure updates.
240 - further RTT optimisations.
241 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
242 the debian package.
243 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
244 but much newer than the old one.
245
2467.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
247 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
248 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
249 - small configure updates for libptytty.
250 - fixed version options: line output.
251 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
