 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
+TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
-TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
+WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
       => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
          resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
          or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
+WISH: coloured pastebin
 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
 DUMB: support tex fonts
-DO NOT USE, CURRENTLY TOTALLY BROKEN W.R.T. XFT FONTS
+	- NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
-TODO: document #aarrggbb or (better?) remove
+	- the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
-9.0
+          when a window was closed.
+        - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
+          scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
+        - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
+          when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
+        - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
+          when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
+          makes copy&paste work.
+	- remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
+          no longer apply.
+        - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
+        - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
+	- perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
+	- ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
+        - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
+        - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
+          monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
+        - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
+          the only known workaround.
+        - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
+        - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
+          to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
+        - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
+          client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
+          disabling size hints.
+        - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
+          and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
+          as mouse reporting.
+        - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
+          tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
+        - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
+          droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
+        - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
+        - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
+        - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
+        - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
+          overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
+        - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
+          (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
+9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
+	- new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
+        - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
+	- work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
+          header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
+	- upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
+          with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
+	- correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
+          after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
+          issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
+          sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
+        - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
+          broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
+          help working window managers as well.
+	- made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
+        - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
+        - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
+        - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
+          from the toplevel window to the children.
+        - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
+        - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
+        - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
+        - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
+9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
+	- the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
+	- fix build with !xft.
+	- always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
+9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
+	- be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
+          with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
+          received" problem, again :)
+	- add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
+9.0  Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
 	- fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
           with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
-          report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
+          report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
           instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
         - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
         - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
 	- implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
+        - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
+          work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
+          channels or background images are used.
         - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
           till the first event arrives. or so.
         - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
 	- continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
 	- OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
         - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
         - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
           resets the terminal.
 	- scrollbar code cleanups.
+        - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
+        - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
+        - updated to libev 3.0.
 8.9  Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
 	- fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
           when the command exited but only on the next X event.
         - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
           the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
         - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
 	- fix memory leak in pixmap code.
 	- fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
           on (typical) 64 bit systems.
-	- automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
+	- automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
 	  geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
         - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
         - parallel builds should work once more.
 8.4  Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
 	- overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
-	- fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
+	- fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
           (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
         - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
         - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
           missing DISPLAY.
         - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
           earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
           .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
           resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
           resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
         - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
-          terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
+          terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
         - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
           Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
         - the "depth" resource is now respected.
         - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
           to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
         - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
           the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
           to correctly position their preedit window.
         - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
           former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
-          in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
+          in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
           so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
           selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
         - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
           focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
         - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
 7.6  Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
 	- changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
         - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
           resource value.
         - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
-        - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
+        - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
           relevant tab window.
         - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
           (initial patch by hednod).
         - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
           selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
