24 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
25 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
26 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
28 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
29 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting code,
30 and an alternative 1015 code that works in non-utf-8 locales
31 and has fewer limitations.
32 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
33 startup for the upper left corner.
34 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
35 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
36 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
37 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
39 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
40 - fix build on XFree86.

56 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
57 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
58 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
59 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
60 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.

81 88*88 possible pairs.
82 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
83 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
84 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
85 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
86 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
87 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
88 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
89 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
90 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
