25 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore. 28 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
29 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - add support for 256 colors.
31 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
32 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
33 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
34 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
35 characters other than first one in the selected cell
36 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
37 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
38 (found by Mikachu).
39 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
41 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
42 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4.
26 43
27TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource? 449.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
45 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
46 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
47 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
48 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
49 Mikachu).
50 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
51 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
52 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
53 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
54 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
55 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
56 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
57 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
58 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
59 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
60 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
61 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
62 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
63 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
64 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
65 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
66 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
67 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
68 - update to libptytty 1.3.
69 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
70 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
71 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
72 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
73 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
74 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
75 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
76 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
77 in need of fixing. go figure.
78 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
79 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
80 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
81 the new ->selection_screen method.
82 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
83 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
84 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
86 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
87 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.

90 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
91 - updates libev to 3.48.
92 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
93 when a window was closed.
94 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
95 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
96 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
97 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
98 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
99 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
100 makes copy&paste work.
101 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
102 no longer apply.
103 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
104 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
105 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.

110 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.

112 the only known workaround.
113 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
114 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
115 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
116 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
117 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
118 disabling size hints.
119 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
120 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
121 as mouse reporting.
122 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
123 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
124 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
125 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
126 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
127 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
128 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
129 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
130 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
131 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).

32 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal 144 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
33 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems. 145 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
146 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
147 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
148 help working window managers as well.
34 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata). 149 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
