137.0 229.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
23 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
24 - updates libev to 3.48.
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 bugs in a few wm's that errornously resize
50 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
51 disabling size hints.
52 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
53 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
54 as mouse reporting.
55 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
56 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
57 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
58 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
59 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
60 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
61 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
62 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
63 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
64 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
65 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
66 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
67
689.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
69 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
70 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
71 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
72 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
73 - upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
74 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
75 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
76 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
77 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
78 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
79 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
80 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
81 help working window managers as well.
82 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
83 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
84 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
85 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
86 from the toplevel window to the children.
87 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
88 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
89 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
90 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
91
929.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008
93 - the "exg makes everybody happy" release.
94 - fix build with !xft.
95 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
96
979.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
98 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
99 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
100 received" problem, again :)
101 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
102
1039.0 Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
104 - fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
105 with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
106 report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
107 instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
108 - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
109 - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
110 - implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
111 - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
112 work better on servers lacking the RENDER extension when alpha
113 channels or background images are used.
114 - check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
115 till the first event arrives. or so.
116 - the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
117 - continuously update transparency while moving/resizing now.
118 - OSC 39/49 are deprecated and aliased to OSC 10/11.
119 - cub1 now acts as advertised (and ignores the "wrapped" state).
120 - the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
121 resets the terminal.
122 - scrollbar code cleanups.
123 - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
124 - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
125 - updated to libev 3.0.
126
1278.9 Mon Dec 24 07:51:40 CET 2007
128 - fix the issue where urxvtd would not immediately close a window
129 when the command exited but only on the next X event.
130 - changed terminfo file not to use application keypad mode.
131 - fix the issue where making a selection in one urxvtd window
132 would not clear it visually in another.
133 - fix an issue of urxvt not getting background pixmap updates
134 and flickering after bg pixmap changes (reported by Mikachu).
135 - fix redraw bug in xterm scrollbar with -sr (reported by Mikachu).
136 - correctly provide dependencies for libev (µikachu).
137 - minor code reorganisations and cleanups.
138 - be more robust in case the urxvt-popup extension cannot be loaded.
139
1408.8 Sat Dec 15 19:40:39 CET 2007
141 - option -C was aliased to all unsupported options, activating
142 options that shouldn't be compiled in, leading to interesting
143 effects.
144 - updated libev, working around a bug in linux 2.4, curing the
145 symptom of urxvt not closing its window on shell exit. also
146 fixes a problem with urxvt not refreshing.
147 - the text blink callback was called even when no blinking
148 text was visible.
149 - pre-8.4 slipwheeling behaviour has been reinstated, with
150 some minor improvements.
151 - streamlined x events processing to only flush once per
152 display and not once per terminal window.
153 - quite a bit of minor code cleanups and codesize optimisations.
154
1558.7 Sun Nov 25 10:23:49 CET 2007
156 - update libev with an important bugfix that would cause crashes
157 when closing windows (when using rxvtd, and update is recommended).
158 - do not compile in the block builtin graphics with --disable-frills.
159
1608.6 Fri Nov 23 14:10:57 CET 2007
161 - upgrade libev to disable kqueue on anything but netbsd as it
162 seems to be broken everywhere else w.r.t. ptys.
163 - allow for spurious event notifications, as at least epoll and
164 especially solaris ports like to lie about them (symptoms:
165 urxvt "hangs" until there is some x11 related activity).
166 - -keysym command line options are now subjected to xlib parsing.
167 - add 'xrm' option analogous to Xt one.
168
1698.5a Wed Nov 21 10:16:33 CET 2007
170 - make it compile with --disable-transparency.
171
1728.5 Wed Nov 21 05:19:20 CET 2007
173 - expect major portability issues in this release: please test and report.
174 - converted from the veritable io manager event loop to
175 the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
176 - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
177 - fix memory leak in pixmap code.
178 - fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
179 on (typical) 64 bit systems.
180 - automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
181 geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
182 - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
183 - parallel builds should work once more.
184
1858.4 Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
186 - overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
187 - fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
188 (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
189 - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
190 - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
191 missing DISPLAY.
192 - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
193 - source code organisational cleanups (exg).
194 - updated io_manager.
195
1968.3 Wed Aug 1 20:21:31 CEST 2007
197 - new option: skipScroll/-ss, enabled by default.
198 - go with the times and expect x11 library files in /usr/lib, not
199 /usr/X11R6/lib.
200 - initial transparency improvement/afterimage support
201 patch by Sasha Vasko.
202 - add urgentOnBell resource to set the urgency hint
203 (patch by Philip Paeps).
204 - do not process focus events caused by grabs
205 (patch by Mikachu).
206 - add iso14755_52 resource to disable iso14755 5.2 (exg).
207 - add binding for backspace in iso14755 5.1 to remove the last
208 digit (exg).
209 - better option handling, support more than 30 options (exg).
210 - nuke reconf script, serves no purpose anymore.
211 - fixed and documented matcher/on_user_command processing in matcher
212 extension (tpope).
213 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10 (exg).
214 - fix MappingNotify events (reported by Stephan Walter).
215 - zero-initialise mwmhints, this seems to solve all sorts of minor
216 problems.
217
2188.2 Sat Feb 17 21:35:28 CET 2007
219 - fix make depend in src/, reported by exg.
220 - fixed typo in urxvt::GET_CUSTOM, causing the result to be wrong.
221 (patch by Sergey Vlasov).
222 - unbundled iom perl interface somewhat.
223 - scrollbar-xterm now uses the selected scrollColor instead of fg
224 (found by Aiviru).
225 - disabled linux kernel bug workaround again: disabling it gives
226 a 50% speed hit on affected machines, while enabling it gives
227 a similar speed hit to screen, which is likely the more common
228 case to work around for :/
229 - urxvt::rend2mask perl function, and utilization of it by matcher
230 (patch by Moshe Kamensky).
231 - use perl:matcher on a keysym to open most recently displayed URL.
232 - with matcher, when multiple patterns match, last wins, not first.
233 - fix make and make install with srcdir != builddir (exg).
234 - updated bundled libptytty to fix a bug where the tty would be kept
235 open (see the libptytty ChangeLog for details).
236 - delay setting the IUTF8 flag to after the tty settings have been
237 set so its value does not get lost (reported and analysed by Andrei
238 Paskevich).
239 - rip out support for obsolete sgtty.h interface.
240 - rip out support for non-POSIX termios variants.
241 - update libptytty.
242 - update iom.C, make it call ptytty::sanitise_stdfd on init.
243 - when !XFT, change rounding of colours to use a less correct formula to
244 meet user expectancies (#aaa becomes #a000a000a000 not #9f9f9f9f9f9f).
245 - change the starting offset of the pixmap set with backgroundPixmap
246 from (50,50) to (0,0) (exg).
247 - fix a typo in button_release, now meta-button2 request the value of
248 the Clipboard selection as it should (patch by Serge Koksharov).
249 - fix a bug in drawing a cell with a nonspacing char when using an xft
250 font with inheritPixmap and tintColor (exg).
251
2528.1 Thu Dec 7 22:27:25 CET 2006
253 - ケリスマスプレゼント - zomg!!1, it's too early!!!
254 - fix the assumption that chars < 256 are single-width. Now
255 only assume this for codepoints 32 to 126 (reported by Dai.H.).
256 - $term->strwidth returned wide chars as width 1, because some jerk
257 confused min and max. Fixing this also fixes xim-onthespot.
258 Reported by Takano Akio.
259 - secondaryScroll is now enabled by default (as per the manpage),
260 reported by exg.
261 - correct the description of [percent]color rgba format in the manpage.
262 - incorporated macosx-clipboard extension by Samuel Ljungkvist.
263 - ignore (some) useless focus events (reported by mmc).
264 - updated compose table to unicode 5.0.0.
265
2668.0 Thu Nov 2 18:35:19 CET 2006
267 - combining characters cleared the area instead of creating an overlay,
268 thus losing the ability to draw combining characters properly in most
269 circumstances (reported by exg).
270 - specified fonts were incorrectly morphed to bold/italic according to the
271 basefont, even if explicitly specified (tracked down by tpope).
272 - fixed urxvt::strwidth to calculate width in the same way as screen.C.
273 - fix a crash caused by passing negative widths to overlay functions.
274 - added 'matcher' extension by tpope, replacing the mark-urls extension.
275 - improve url regex to match anything www.* (tpope).
276 - fixed bug with outline cursor color being wrong after xft fonts.
277 - update to libptytty-1.0.
278 - give proper diagnostic when RXVT_SOCKET is too long instead of
279 corrupting the stack (patch by exg).
280 - display current terminal locale in option menu.
281 - urxvtd no longer crashes when the client sends an inaccessible
282 working directory (reported by Roland Baer, possibly fixes gentoo
283 bug #143985).
284 - fixed many minor issues reported by Roland Baer.
285 - Leonid Khramov spotted a minor glitch in rxvtfont.C that
286 should not have any consequences, but was buggy nonetheless.
287 - manpage fix by exg.
288
2897.9 Mon Aug 7 18:16:07 CEST 2006
290 - fix the crashing bug people encountered with 7.8 + urxvtd + perl
291 + transparency. Ought to fix debian bug #380348.
292 - fix urxvtc.1.pod: it actually claimed -pty-fd would not work. But
293 it does! :->
294 - rxvt_fatal() in case the locale string is too long for our static buffer.
295 - fixed many, many, typos in the manpages (patch supplied by ves).
296
2977.8 Mon Jul 17 21:00:46 CEST 2006
298 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: this version will always read ~/.Xdefaults,
299 earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
300 .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
301 resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
302 resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
303 - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
304 terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
305 - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
306 Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
307 - the "depth" resource is now respected.
308 - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
309 to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
310 uppercase character.
311 - add FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT define to features.h.
312 - re-enabled highlightcolor support with --enable-frills, based on
313 a patch by Martin Stubenschrott.
314 - double-buffered xft drawing did suffer from pixel offset issues
315 when pixmap transparency was enabled.
316 - strategically add # to the url-match regexes, as we really want to
317 match common URIs not common URLs. Reported by Aaron Griffin.
318 - moved on_osc_seq to on_osc_seq_perl and added a more
319 generic osc_seq.
320 - fix a bug causing double callback invocations when perl hooks
321 were invoked recursively.
322 - the automove-background extension now properly works when the
323 pixmap gets reset with an osc sequence (sqweek).
324 - selection-pastebin did not work properly with non-latin1-characters.
325 - apply colorUL only when the text colour is the default fg
326 (patch by Wu Fengguang).
327 - removed rxvtlib.h from the tarball, it had no reason to be there
328 (spotted by Decklin Foster).
329 - fix compiling with TRANSPARENT but !XPM_BACKGROUND, as reported
330 by omatunto_.
331 - slap in a using namespace std, might help on platforms that don't
332 follow C++ closely enough.
333 - fix mailto url regex, spotted within milliseconds by Jost Krieger.
334 - applied fade_color_update_func.patch by WU Fengguang.
335 - fix a bug where (due to an optimisation in av_delete), hiding the
336 bottom-most overlay would hide two overlays.
337
3387.7 Tue Feb 21 12:32:49 CET 2006
339 - use double-buffered drawing (xft fonts only). On many driver/hardware
340 combination this actually increases xft drawing speed, at the expense
341 of more network bandwidth and slight nausea on the side of the author.
342 - readline perl extension now requires shift-click instead of a normal
343 click, and eats the click.
344 - tabbed perl extension now supports -e.
345 - disabled graphics-exposures on the main drawing GC, report any
346 refresh bugs please.
347 - improve property handling for -pe tabbed: avoid unnecessary property
348 changes (for kde's benefit) at the expense of extra round-trips,
349 improve size hint setting.
350 - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
351 the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
352 to correctly position their preedit window.
353 - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
354 former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
355 in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
356 so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
357 selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
358 - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
359 focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
360 - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
361 - fix a with --disable-xft that caused xfreecolors to be called on
362 colors never allocated, resulting in aborts (reported by Paco-Paco).
363 - resources on non-initial screens weren't refetched correctly
364 (reported by Paco-Paco).
365 - fix a bug in xcopyarea pass and _disable_ it, as it seems not to be
366 working in either rxvt-unicode nor in the original rxvt.
367 - removed undocumented -exec alias for the -e option.
368
3697.6 Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
370 - changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
371 - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
372 resource value.
373 - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
374 - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
375 relevant tab window.
376 - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
377 (initial patch by hednod).
378 - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
379 selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
380 - forcing a configure event to tabbed subwindows with -pe tabbed, for
381 the benefit of automove-background.
382 - the automove-background extension added a wrong constant offset.
383 - force refresh of XA_RESOURCE_STRING on virtual reconnect.
384 - return exit status 2 in urxvtc when urxvtd couldn't be contacted.
385 - the linux yield hack is back, now using usleep, and enabled only on
386 __linux__.
387 - further round trip eliminations in the !XFT case by remembering
388 the colour components.
389 - plain scrollbar works better with -sr.
390 - fixed half-shadow scrollbar look.
391 - more colour rtt optimisations.
392 - properly(?) free colours on window close.
393 - reorganised the FAQ into multiple sections.
394 - add ISO646.1991-IRV to the list of supported codesets.
395 - minor libptytty update.
396
3977.5 Tue Jan 31 15:15:43 CET 2006
398 - further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
399 detection:
400 - fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,
401 - overlap detection was improved.
402 - detect totally broken fonts (usually synthesized by xft).
403 - careful mode forced refresh sometimes clashed with blinking,
404 causing unnecessary screen redraws.
405 - better handling of XFT combining characters.
406 - enable antialiasing for some replacement fonts, as they
407 might get used for other encodings which really need it, later.
408 - remove spacing=100 from all default fonts, as this creates totally
409 weird spacing (5 times normal) with xft.
410 - removed iso10646 fallback, as xorgs iso10646 encoded fonts are mostly
411 broken.
412 - removed gnu unifont fallback, all combining characters are broken.
413 - replace named colours by xorg's rgb.txt equivalents, to
414 reduce round trip time on startup, and short-cut allocation
415 of rgb:rr/gg/bb for xft.
416 - short-cut allocation of rgb values in the xlib case
417 (patch by Paco-Paco).
418 - overhauled color management: smaller codesize, alpha support.
419 - support "rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa" color specifications and
420 an "[alpha]" prefix.
421 - try to work around Xft and Xrender forcing everything to be 100%
422 transparent. Long Live Xft!
423 - do not include X11/Intrinsic.h anymore, directly use
424 Xlib/Xutil/Xresource directly.
425 - try to find a nearest matching color when color allocation fails
426 on a pseudocolor screen.
427 - SYNCCVS: compared to rxvt-cvs 2006-01-28, no relevant changes.
428 - fix version report (DA) (which was unfortunately broken).
429 - changed version number report again, now to emulate xterm closer.
430 - added the OSC sequence 702 to detect the urxvt version number.
431 - small configure updates.
432 - further RTT optimisations.
433 - backported clean-up patches for makefiles and documentation from
434 the debian package.
435 - updated doc/rxvt-unicode.spec file. It's still not maintained here,
436 but much newer than the old one.
437
4387.4 Sat Jan 28 15:26:27 CET 2006
439 - screen background wasn't always erased properly when scrolling,
440 - re-enabled clearing optimisation disabled in 7.4pre.
441 - small configure updates for libptytty.
442 - fixed version options: line output.
443 - removed stoopid debugging message left in the code.
444
4457.3 Wed Jan 25 22:47:35 CET 2006
446 - don't let iso14755 or mouse reporting get into the way of perl
447 (could lead to global grabs never being cleared).
448 - experimental OnTheSpot editing support (-pe xim-onthespot).
449 - moved Shift-Button2 paste combination to Meta-Button2.
450 - the cutchars resource will now be respected and used by the
451 selection extension.
452 - added the "remote-clipboard" extension which just runs external
453 commands to fetch and store the selection data.
454 - added -depth switch that tries to get a different visual depth
455 than the default (replaces the old PREFER_24_BIT logic).
456 - removed (unused) arabic presentation form composing sequences.
457 - be more strict when deciding that a core font glyph is too wide and
458 needs the careful rendering mode.
459 - allow more leeway for italic fonts when deciding that a character is
460 too wide and needs careful mode.
461 - redraw even more characters around characters using careful mode.
462 - made selection-pastebin fully asynchronous.
463 - reduced number of server turnarounds at startup by allocating
464 atoms only once per display.
465 - renamed on_keyboard_command to on_user_command.
466 - changed version sos (ESC [ > c) response to be more compatible with
467 xterm.
468
4697.2 Sun Jan 22 21:58:16 CET 2006
470 - bugfix: urxvt (not urxvtd) did not correctly handle multiple
471 environments necessary, which resulted in segfaults within
472 getenv (reproducable: urxvt -fn 9x15, open a menu once,
473 ctrl-shift-672c).
474 - bugfix: the selection speedup in in 7.1 unfortunately caused
475 non-ascii characters to enlarge/move the selection.
476 - bugfix: resizing sometimes leaked lines from the secondary to
477 the primary screen.
478 - bugfix: reducing window size while large amounts of text were output
479 could lead to an assertion failure.
480 - added "tabbed" extension that provides a crude tabbed terminal.
481 - added "readline" extension that allows cursor positioning
482 via mouse clicks.
483 - now it is possible to insert the value of the CLIPBOARD selection
484 with shift - mouse button 2.
485 - fixed the automove-background extension to ignore coordinates
486 in non-synthetic events.
487 - created a separate libpty for portable and secure
488 pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling, and include it in rxvt-unicode.
489 - the non-terminfo visual bell now works asynchronously, so
490 continuous ASCI BELs in one terminal do no longer monopolise the
491 whole urxvt[d] process.
492 - support some *BSD makes (for the time being, gnu make is a safe bet).
493 - work around bugs in FreeBSD's gcc.
494 - implemented some *BSD fixes in configure.
495 - removed support for obsolete offix dnd protocol.
496
4977.1 Thu Jan 19 20:25:34 CET 2006
498 - setuid/setgid operation is now _encouraged_: security has been
499 improved by moving privileged operations into a separate process
500 and permanently dropping privileges within the terminal. This
501 makes it possible to remove security checks from the perl code
502 and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to run with
503 special privileges.
504 - perl taint checking disabled, as urxvt no longer runs setuid/setgid
505 itself.
506 - new perl extension automove-background that can be used to get
507 the same effect as pseudo-transparency with any pixmap.
508 - new perl extension example: perl/selection-pastebin, can be used to
509 e.g. upload the selection to a webserver and generate a url, or
510 similar stuff.
511 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
512 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0. Helps
513 for programs displaying a status line at the bottom.
514 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
515 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
516 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
517 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
518 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
519 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
520 - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
521 as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
522 - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
523 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
524 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
525 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
526 to set the window title.
527 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
528 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
529 at the wrong time.
530 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
531 anymore.
532 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
533 - nuked QNX support.
534 - made some fixes to xpm offset and scaling code.
535 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
536 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
537 - iom extended to support listening for child exits.
