26 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
27 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line

29 - add support for 256 colors.
30 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
31 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
32 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
33 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
34 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
35 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
36 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
37 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
38 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
39 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
40 characters other than first one in the selected cell
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
43 (found by Mikachu).
44 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
45 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
46 (Emanuele Giaquinta).

509.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
51 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
52 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
53 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
54 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
55 Mikachu).
56 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
57 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
58 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
59 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
60 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
61 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
62 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
64 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
65 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
66 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
67 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
68 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
69 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
70 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
71 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
72 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
73 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
74 - update to libptytty 1.3.
75 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
76 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
77 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
78 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
79 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
80 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
81 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
82 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
83 in need of fixing. go figure.
84 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
85 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
86 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
87 the new ->selection_screen method.
88 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
89 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
90 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
91 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
92 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
93 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
94
959.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
96 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
97 - updates libev to 3.48.
98 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
99 when a window was closed.
100 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
101 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
102 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
103 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
104 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
105 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
106 makes copy&paste work.
107 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
108 no longer apply.
109 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
110 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
111 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
112 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
113 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
114 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
115 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
116 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
117 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
118 the only known workaround.
119 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
120 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
121 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
122 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
123 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
124 disabling size hints.
125 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
126 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
127 as mouse reporting.
128 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
129 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
130 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
131 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
132 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
133 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
134 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
135 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
136 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
137 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
138 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
139 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
140
1419.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
142 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
143 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
144 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
145 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
146 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
147 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
148 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
149 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
150 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
151 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
152 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
153 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
154 help working window managers as well.
155 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
156 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
157 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
158 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
159 from the toplevel window to the children.
160 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
161 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
162 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
163 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
164
1659.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
166 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
167 - fix build with !xft.
168 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
169
1709.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
171 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
172 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
173 received" problem, again :)
174 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
175
1769.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
177 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
178 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
179 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
180 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
181 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
182 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
183 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
184 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
185 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
186 channels or background images are used.
187 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
188 till the first event arrives. or so.
189 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
190 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
191 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
192 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
193 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
194 resets the terminal.
195 - scrollbar code cleanups.
196 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
197 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
198 - updated to libev 3.0.
199
2008.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
201 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
202 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
203 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
204 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
205 would not clear it visually in another.
206 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
207 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
208 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
209 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
210 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
211 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
212
2138.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
214 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
215 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
216 effects.
217 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
218 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
219 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
220 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
221 text was visible.
222 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
223 some minor improvements.
224 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
225 display and not once per terminal window.
226 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
227
2288.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
229 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
230 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
231 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
232
2338.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
234 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
235 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
236 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
237 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
238 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
239 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
240 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
241
2428.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
243 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
244
2458.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
246 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
247 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
248 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
249 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
250 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
251 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
252 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
253 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
254 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
255 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
256 - parallel builds should work once more.
257
2588.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
259 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
260 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
261 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
262 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
