159.0 22TODO: /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
16 - implemented perl:selection:remote-pastebin command in perl/selection 23
24TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
25 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
26 when a window was closed.
27 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
28 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
29 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
30 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
31 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
32 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
33 makes copy&paste work.
34 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
35 no longer apply.
36 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
37 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
38 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
39 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
40 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
41 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
42 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
43 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
44 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
45 the only known workaround.
46 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
47 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
48 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
49 - try to work around a race between urxvt and wm's on programmatic
50 resizes by temporarily disabling size hints.
51 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
52 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
53 as mouse reporting.
54 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
55 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
56
579.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
58 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
59 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
60 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
61 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
62 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
63 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
64 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
65 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
66 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
67 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
68 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
69 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
70 help working window managers as well.
71 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
72 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
73 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
74 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
75 from the toplevel window to the children.
76 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
77 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
78 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
79 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
80
819.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
82 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
83 - fix build with !xft.
84 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
85
869.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
87 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
88 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
89 received" problem, again :)
90 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
91
929.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
93 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
94 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
95 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
96 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
97 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
98 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
99 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
100 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
101 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
102 channels or background images are used.
103 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
104 till the first event arrives. or so.
105 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
106 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
107 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
108 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
109 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
110 resets the terminal.
111 - scrollbar code cleanups.
112 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
113 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
114 - updated to libev 3.0.
115
1168.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
117 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
118 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
119 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
120 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
121 would not clear it visually in another.
122 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
123 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
124 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
125 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
126 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
127 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
128
1298.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
130 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
131 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
132 effects.
133 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
134 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
135 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
136 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
137 text was visible.
138 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
139 some minor improvements.
140 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
141 display and not once per terminal window.
142 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
143
1448.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
145 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
146 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
147 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
148
1498.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
150 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
151 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
152 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
153 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
154 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
155 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
156 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
157
1588.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
159 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
160
1618.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
162 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
163 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
164 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
165 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
166 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
167 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
168 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
169 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
170 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
171 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
172 - parallel builds should work once more.
173
1748.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
175 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
176 - fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
177 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
178 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
179 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
180 missing DISPLAY.
181 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
182 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
183 - updated io_manager.
184
1858.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
186 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
187 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
188 /usr/X11R6/lib.
189 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
190 patch by Sasha Vasko.
191 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
192 (patch by Philip Paeps).
193 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
194 (patch by Mikachu).
195 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
196 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
197 digit (exg).
198 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
199 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
200 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
201 extension (tpope).
202 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
203 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
204 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
205 problems.
206
2078.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
208 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
209 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
210 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
211 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
212 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
213 (found by Aiviru).
214 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
215 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
216 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
217 case to work around for :/
218 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
219 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
220 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
221 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
222 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
223 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
224 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
225 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
226 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
227 Paskevich).
228 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
229 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
230 - update libptytty.
231 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
232 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
233 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
234 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
235 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
236 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
237 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
238 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
239 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
240
2418.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
242 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
243 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
244 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
245 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
246 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
247 Reported by Takano Akio.
248 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
249 reported by exg.
250 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
251 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
252 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
253 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
254
2558.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
256 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
257 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
258 circumstances (reported by exg).
259 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
260 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
261 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
262 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
263 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
264 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
265 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
266 - update to libptytty-1.0.
267 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
268 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
269 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
270 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
271 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
272 bug #143985).
273 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
274 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
275 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
276 - manpage fix by exg.
277
2787.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
279 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
280 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
281 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
282 it does! :->
283 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
284 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
285
2867.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
287 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
288 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
289 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
290 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
291 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
292 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
293 terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
294 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
295 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
296 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
297 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
298 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
299 uppercase character.
300 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
301 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
302 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
303 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
304 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
305 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
306 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
307 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
308 generic osc_seq.
309 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
310 were invoked recursively.
311 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
312 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
313 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
314 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
315 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
316 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
317 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
318 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
319 by omatunto_.
320 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
321 follow C++ closely enough.
322 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
323 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
324 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
325 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
326
3277.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
328 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
329 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
330 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
331 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
332 click, and eats the click.
333 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
334 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
335 refresh bugs please.
336 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
337 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
338 improve size hint setting.
339 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
340 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
341 to correctly position their preedit window.
342 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
343 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
344 in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
345 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
346 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
347 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
348 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
349 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
350 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
351 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
352 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
353 (reported by Paco-Paco).
354 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
355 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
356 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
357
3587.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
359 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
360 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
361 resource value.
362 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
363 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
364 relevant tab window.
365 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
366 (initial patch by hednod).
367 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
368 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
369 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
370 the benefit of automove-background.
371 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
372 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
373 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
374 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
375 __linux__.
376 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
377 the colour components.
378 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
379 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
380 - more colour rtt optimisations.
381 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
382 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
383 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
384 - minor libptytty update.
385
3867.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
387 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
388 detection:
389 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
390 - overlap detection was improved.
391 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
392 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
393 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
394 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
395 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
396 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
397 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
398 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
399 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
400 broken.
401 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
402 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
403 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
404 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
405 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
406 (patch by Paco-Paco).
407 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
408 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
409 an "[alpha]" prefix.
410 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
411 transparent. Long Live Xft!
412 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
413 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
414 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
415 on a pseudocolor screen.
416 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
417 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
418 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
419 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
420 - small configure updates.
421 - further RTT optimisations.
422 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
423 the debian package.
424 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
425 but much newer than the old one.
426
4277.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
428 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
429 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
430 - small configure updates for libptytty.
431 - fixed version options: line output.
432 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
433
4347.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
435 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
436 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
437 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
438 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
439 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
440 selection extension.
441 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
442 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
443 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
444 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
445 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
446 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
447 needs the careful rendering mode.
448 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
449 too wide and needs careful mode.
450 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
451 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
452 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
453 atoms only once per display.
454 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
455 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
456 xterm.
457
4587.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
459 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
460 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
461 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
462 ctrl-shift-672c).
463 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
464 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
465 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
466 the primary screen.
467 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
468 could lead to an assertion failure.
469 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
470 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
471 via mouse clicks.
472 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
473 with shift - mouse button 2.
474 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
475 in non-synthetic events.
476 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
477 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
478 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
479 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
480 whole urxvt[d] process.
481 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
482 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
483 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
484 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
485
4867.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
487 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
488 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
489 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
490 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
491 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
492 special privileges.
493 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
494 itself.
495 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
496 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
497 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
498 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
499 similar stuff.
17 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't 500 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
18 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. 501 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
19 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes 502 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
20 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
21 at the wrong time.
22 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct. 503 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.

509 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
510 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
511 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
512 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
513 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
514 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,

516 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
517 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
518 at the wrong time.
519 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
520 anymore.
521 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
522 - nuked QNX support.
523 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
28 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order. 524 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
