25 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage
26 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
27 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
28 with gcc.
29 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
30 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
31 - try to detect byte order at compile time, seems to work around weird linking
32 errors on freebsd (seems to have trouble with static member variables) - also
33 saves a couple of hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
34 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
23 35
24TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste. 369.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
37 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
38 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
39 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
41 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
42 failures with gcc 4.5.
43 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
44 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
45 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
46 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
47 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
48 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
49 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
50 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
51 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
52 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
53 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
54 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
55 and has fewer limitations.
56 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
57 startup for the upper left corner.
58 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
59 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
60 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
61 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
62 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
63 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
64 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
65 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
66 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
67 - fix build on XFree86.
68 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
69 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
70 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
71 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
72
739.09 Sat Nov 13 01:39:07 CET 2010
74 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.

79 - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
80 - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
81 - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele Giaquinta).
82 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
83 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
84 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
85 - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
86 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
87 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
88 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
89 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
90 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
91 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
92 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
93 characters other than first one in the selected cell
94 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
95 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
96 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
97 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
98 (found by Mikachu).
99 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
100 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
101 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
102 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
103 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
104 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
105 - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
106 - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
108 for 256 colours.
109 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
110 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
111 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
112 88*88 possible pairs.
113 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
114 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
115 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
116 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
117 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
118 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
119 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
120 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
121 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
122 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
123 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
124 backspacekey was given.
125 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
126 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
127 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
128 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
129 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
130 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
131
1329.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
133 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
134 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
135 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
136 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
137 Mikachu).
138 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
139 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
140 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
141 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
142 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
143 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
144 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
145 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
146 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
147 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
148 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
149 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
150 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
151 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
152 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
153 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
154 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
155 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
156 - update to libptytty 1.3.

160 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
161 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
162 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
163 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
164 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
165 in need of fixing. go figure.
166 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
167 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
168 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
169 the new ->selection_screen method.

181 when a window was closed.
182 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
183 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
184 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
185 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
186 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
187 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but

203 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
204 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
205 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
206 disabling size hints.
207 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
208 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
209 as mouse reporting.
210 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
211 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
212 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
213 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
