51 - allow URxvt*keysym to match again. The fact that it was ignored
52 is considered a regression due in the way we checked for keysym
53 resources.
54 - Key bindings specified with the -keysym option or with resources of
55 the form URxvt*keysym work again. Such resources, as opposed to
56 resources of the form URxvt.keysym, were not officially allowed but
57 accepted, so ignoring them is considered a regression.
58 - new option/resource -rm/rewrapMode, which sets the line rewrap
59 mode to auto, never or always.
60 - new option/resource -dpb/disablePasteBrackets, which can be used to
61 disable bracketed paste mode sequences, as more and more programs
62 abuse these sequences (typically in the name of security, but these
63 sequences are not improving security). Also, bracketed paste mode
64 is now under frills.
65 - enable confirm-paste extension by default, can be disabled by e.g.
66 URxvt.perl-ext: -confirm-paste
67 - eval scroll actions now scroll to the bottom when scrolling down and
68 there are less lines to scroll than the ones requested (patch by
69 Stephen Talley).
70 - if urxvt cannot detect a good estimate for font width (because a font does
71 not contain latin characters at all for example), it will now fall
72 back to xft's max_advance_width, which works well with some fonts. It
73 currently will warn about this.
74 - do not render variation selectors in the default font as boxes, treat
75 them as zero-width characters.
76 - change combining character architecture to allow fonts to handle
77 combining sequences on their own. This could allow future renderers
78 to be more intelligent about these sequences.
79 - use the previous enhancement to allow unicode characters outside of the
80 BMP to be rendered even without --enable-unicode3, as long as an
81 xft with the character is configured.
82 It's recommended to stay with disabled unicode3 even more now.
83 - freetype/xft have been verified to return nonsensical offsets for
84 combining characters. urxvt tries to compensate to some extent,
85 but diacritics will be slightly off in many cases, and far off in
86 some cases (e.g. input mono).
87 - when checking for overlap/careful handling, take non-basefont
88 character shifts into account.
89 - allow perl-ext and perl-ext-common to override autoloaded extensions.
90 this allows tabbed to disable itself in subtabs, avoiding recursive
91 loading.
92 - update precompose table to unicode 13.0.
93 - update charset conversion tables to perl 5.32 (this only affected
94 cs_koi8_u_from_unicode).
95 - unicode characters > 0x100000 were not handled correctly w.r.t.
96 font rendering.
97 - replace bitstream vera by dejavu sans, as it has replaced the former
98 almost everywhere.
99
1009.26 Fri May 14 19:14:14 CEST 2021
101 - ev_iouring.c was wrongly required during compilation, and wrongly
102 not packaged.
103
1049.25 Fri May 14 15:51:36 CEST 2021
105 - for the 17.5th anniversary, and because many distributions seem to
106 remove rxvt in favour of urxvt, this release resurrects rclock as
107 urclock.
108 - add support for systemd socket-based activation - debian bug #917105,
109 freebsd bug #234276.
110 - do not destruct perl on exit anymore: this might fail for a variety of
111 reasons, and takes unnecessary time.
112 - remove any macros from urxvtperl manpage(s), should fix debian
113 bug 858385.
114 - the old bg image resources are now provided by the background
115 extension, and perl is thus required for bg image support. No
116 configuration change is needed: urxvt autoloads the background
117 ext if any bg image resource/option is present (for OSC sequences to
118 work you need to enable it explicitly). The old bg image
119 resources are also now deprecated; users are encouraged to
120 switch to the new bg image interface (see man urxvt-background).
121 - confirm-paste now checks for any ctlchars, not just newlines.
122 - searchable scrollback will now ignore bracketed paste mode sequences
123 (prompted by Daniel Gröber's patch).
124 - drop ISO 2022 locale support. ISO 2022 encodings are not supported in
125 POSIX locales and clash with vt100 charset emulation (the luit
126 program can be used as a substitute).
127 - perl didn't parse rgba colours specified as an array correctly,
128 only allowing 0 and 100% intensity for each component (this affected
129 fill and tint).
130 - when iterating over resources, urxvt will now try to properly handle
131 multipart resources (such as "*background.expr"), for the benefit
132 of autoloading perl extensions.
133 - ESC G (query rxvt graphics mode) has been disabled due to security
134 implications. The rxvt graphics mode was removed in rxvt-unicode 1.5,
135 and no programs relying on being able to query the mode are known.
136 - work around API change breakage in perl 5.28, based on a patch by
137 Roman Bogorodskiy.
138 - improved security: rob nation's (obsolete) graphics mode queries
139 no longer reply with linefeed in secure/default mode.
140 - ISO 8613-3 direct colour SGR sequences (patch by Fengguang Wu).
141 - xterm focus reporting mode (patch by Daniel Hahler).
142 - xterm SGR mouse mode.
143 - implement DECRQM. Patch by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
144 - add missing color index parameter to OSC 4 response. Patch
145 by Přemysl Eric Janouch.
146 - in some window managers, if smart resize was enabled, urxvt
147 erroneously moved the window on font change - awesome bug
148 #532, arch linux bug ##34807 (patch by Uli Schlachter).
149 - fix urxvtd crash when using a background expression.
150 - properly restore colors when using fading and reverse video
151 is enabled while urxvt is focused and then disabled while it
152 is not focused, or vice versa (patch by Daniel Hahler).
153 - fix high memory usage when an extension repeatedly hides and
154 shows an overlay (reported by Marcel Lautenbach).
155 - expose priv_modes member and constants to perl extensions
156 (patch by Rastislav Barlik).
157 - fix a whole slew of const sillyness, unfortunately forced upon
158 us by ISO C++.
159 - update to libecb 0x00010006.
160 - disable all thread support in ecb.h as we presumably don't need it.
161 - slightly improve Makefile source dependencies.
162 - work around bugs in newer Pod::Xhtml versions (flags incorrect formatting codes
163 in xhtml/html sections but does not interpret correct ones).
164
1659.22 Sat Jan 23 21:07:33 CET 2016
166 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
167 - add terminfo capabilities for various ctrl and shift-ctrl key variants
168 (patch by Sebastian Schmidt).
169 - fix longstanding core font encoding bug where some character
170 ranges could not be mapped from unicode to the font: affected
171 encodings are big5, gb2312, iso8859-8 (hebrew), jis0201 and
172 ksc5601 (reported by Mikachu).
173 - fix crash when the number of columns is 1 and a 0 width character is inserted
174 (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
175 - fix a crash when parsing an invalid color specification (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
176 - fix a buffer overflow in font name parser (reported by Kuang-che Wu).
177 - do not start blinking cursor if the window is unfocused (reported by
178 Devin J. Pohly).
179 - change the width of underline and i-beam cursor to 2 pixels (based on
180 a patch by Omar Sandoval).
181 - add pointerShape resource to change the mouse pointer shape
182 (based on a patch by Brian Watson).
183 - a keysym resource for a key which is already bound to an
184 action now properly rebinds the key.
185 - do not report mouse motion events if Shift is active (patch by Daniel Hahler).
186 - put the alpha component last in responses to OSC color queries
187 (patch by Benjamin Herr).
188 - the key_press hook is now invoked before processing the
189 event, as documented. This change was done in 9.21 but not
190 announced and fixes debian bugs #511377, #531751 and red hat
191 bug #1105069. Note that this change breaks a few scripts,
192 such as mark-yank-urls, which rely on the previous buggy
193 behaviour that urxvt processes the event (in particular
194 keysym bindings) before invoking the hook.
195 - the tabbed extension now properly refreshes the active tab
196 on a key press when the mouse pointer is outside the terminal
197 window.
198 - add 'lookup_keysym' perl method to lookup the action bound
199 to a key combination.
200 - a key combination bound to 'matcher:select' can now be used
201 to cycle through the matches in matcher.
202 - change perl integer accessors (->width et al.) into mutators.
203
2049.21 Wed Dec 31 14:50:03 CET 2014
205 - the "moa redraw 8-bit british vintage colour management" release.
206 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo.
207 - fix pixel droppings on overdraw when a secondary core font has the
208 same height but different ascent.
209 - implement cvvis in terminfo as blinking cursor, to distinguish it
210 from cnorm (emacs uses cvvis which is commonly a blinking cursor).
211 - when xft support was compiled in, colour queries erroneously returned
212 premultiplied values, this also affected internal queries, for example
213 when calculating faded colour. alpha is now divided out when possible,
214 which is more correct but loses colour resolution.
215 - add DECSCUSR xterm extension to set the cursor to a vertical bar.
216 - add 'extension:string' action, and associated on_action perl
217 hook, for keysym resources that invokes actions provided by
218 perl extensions. The 'perl:string' action and
219 on_user_command hook are deprecated but still supported.
220 - add 'builtin-string' action for keysym resources that restores string
221 mappings for keys that have predefined actions in urxvt.
222 - add -k option to urxvtc for killing the daemon process.
223 - document urxvtd's -e/--eval option that was implemented in 9.16,
224 but not documented.
225 - add -dockapp option to make the wm treat urxvt as a dockapp.
226 - add -mc option and multiClickTime resource to set the maximum time
227 between multi-click select events (patch by Joe Peterson).
228 - new 'eval' extension to evaluate arbitrary perl code with keysym
229 bindings. The extension also provides methods that implement basic
230 actions, such as pasting selections and scrolling.
231 - the macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native extensions have been removed.
232 - kuake extension now uses the kuake.hotkey resource to specify the hotkey.
233 - new 'matcher:select' mode of matcher to iterate over the matches with the keyboard.
234 - the 'matcher:list' feature of matcher now honours the launcher
235 associated to a matched pattern.
236 - speed-up matcher underlining on very long lines (reported by Edward Z. Yang).
237 - fix up/down commands of searchable-scrollback so that they always move
238 to the previous/next logical line with a match, if any.
239 - searchable-scrollback resource has been deprecated (use keysym instead).
240 - extension parameter passing is deprecated (use resource mechanism instead).
241 - upgrade to GPLv3 (see COPYING).
242 - compile out of the box on Solaris 10, again.
243 - fix height and position of the stippled area in next scrollbar (patch
244 by Thomas Otto).
245 - fix off-by-one bug causing the iso14755 window not to jump out of the
246 way properly.
247 - fix crash that may happen if a lib to which urxvt is linked to calls setenv.
248 - fix memory leak in special_{encode,decode} perl methods.
249 - fix refresh bug that occurs when reverse video is set on a cell
250 containing a space and with the same bg and fg colour, red hat bug
251 #830236.
252 - fix crash that may happen if an x error is received after a terminal
253 window/popup has been destroyed already.
254 - removed superfluous 0 digit from sgr terminfo sequence.
255 - greatly improve colour allocation on colour-starved pseudocolour
256 displays to avoid read-write cells instead of simply failing
257 (this is only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
258 - do not free fade colours when not doing fading (this is likely
259 only relevant for antique 8bpp frame buffers).
260 - do not specialcase 2 or 4 colour visuals, leading to
261 simpler and actually more correct code.
262 - hopefully no longer leak colours on !truecolour visuals.
263 - use consistent method names (scr_recolour => scr_recolor).
264 - use simpler (but slightly less bogus) formula for nearest
265 colour choice (this is likely only relevant for antique 8bpp
266 frame buffers).
267 - remove fallback behaviour when initialising colours - the
268 behaviour was inconsistent between startup vs. later and
269 was only effective when valid colours couldn't be allocated.
270
2719.20 Sat Apr 26 16:22:27 CEST 2014
272 - (libptytty) fix bug that prevented urxvtd from writing utmp
273 entries when using --fork (reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
274 - security bugfix: window property values could be queried even
275 in secure mode (reported by Conor McCarthy).
276 - fix build when perl is enabled and fading is disabled.
277 - fix regression that broke continuous scrolling when pressing
278 and holding the scrollbar up or down button, gentoo bug #493992.
279 - increase the maximum length of a command sequence to 32k bytes,
280 to allow longer OSC sequences (previous limit was 2k).
281 - new Ctrl-Meta-c and Ctrl-Meta-v bindings to interact with
282 the CLIPBOARD selection.
283 - new extension: selection-to-clipboard.
284 - the extensions macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
285 are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
286 Support for the clipboard on OS X can be more generally
287 enabled by setting the XQuartz preference to sync the OS X
288 pasteboard and the X11 clipboard.
289
2909.19 Sun Oct 27 17:16:07 CET 2013
291 - work around perl 5.18.0 breakage in tabbed extension
292 (reported by Karol Blazewicz) and in pod (Dominic Hargreaves).
293 - fix regression that caused the double-click word selection to
294 erroneously include a tab on the left of the selected word.
295 - implement FOCUS variable and focus_fade function in background
296 expression, to allow focus-sensitive background images.
297 - add support for the set cursor style (DECSCUSR) control
298 function.
299 - honour cursorColor also when the cursor style is underline.
300 - export some Color_xxx constants to Perl.
301
3029.18 Sun Mar 24 15:33:35 CET 2013
303 - fix regression that caused artifacts on resize.
304
3059.17 Fri Mar 1 13:46:08 CET 2013
306 - add shade operator in background perl extension.
307 - avoid starting or ending the selection in the middle of wide
308 characters to avoid artifacts (reported by Tiago Resende).
309 - fix artifacts that may occur if the character in the cursor
310 cell has width > 1 (reported by Tiago Resende).
311 - fix regression that causes artifacts on scrolling if
312 saveLines is 0 and the window is resized (reported by Bert
313 Münnich).
314 - fix build when perl is enabled and pixbuf and transparency
315 are disabled.
316
3179.16 Thu Dec 27 11:56:43 CET 2012
318 - the "so much new stuff your eyes will pop out" release.
319 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
320 - fix processing of DEC private mode save sequences (patch by Patrick
321 Hemmer).
322 - perl extensions now have their own manpages, installed as urxvt-NAME(1),
323 e.g. urxvt-background(1) - see urxvt-extensions(1) for a list.
324 - fix disabling of cursor blink with the option-popup menu (based on a
325 patch by Jan Larres).
326 - the font height is not augmented anymore when lineSpace is non zero.
327 - fix "new pagemap" vs. "delete pagemap" mismatch ([] vs. non-[]),
328 as diagnosed by clang.
329 - fix height mismatch between active and inactive cursor when
330 lineSpace is non zero (patch by Stanislav Seletskiy).
331 - make it compile with LOCAL_X_IS_UNIX again (reported by
332 nickfailure@gmail.com).
333 - completely redone background pixmap support - users can now
334 specify arbitrary expressions (And programs) that calculate
335 new terminal backgrounds. see the urxvt-background manpage
336 for details.
337 - xrender is now required for background pixmap support.
338 - perl extensions can now provide commandline switches and resources
339 which show up in -help etc.
340 - iso14755 51 mode window now displays row and column.
341 - implement a -visual switch and move that and -depth to frills, also
342 warn when we can't get the requested visual.
343 - new env variable: RXVT_PERL_LIB.
344 - allocate all screen memory in one go and let the virtual memory
345 subsystem sort it out. this simplifies code, improves access
346 locality, saves a bit of ram and makes things a bit faster, too.
347 - remove support for libafterimage.
348 - update to CVS version of libev, for a whopping 11kb size decrease.
349 - do not ship yet another copy of ecb.h, use the one in libev or
350 libptytty instead.
351 - selectively mark some methods as cache-hot/cache cold, which
352 might speed up execution but definitely decreases codesize.
353 - Fix regression that prevented the scrollbar trough color
354 from being applied (reported by Derek B. Noonburg).
355 - Fix the scrollbar size for rxvt style (patch by Mark Robinson).
356
3579.15 Sat Jan 21 13:36:56 CET 2012
358 - remove "using namespace std" because clang erroneously
359 thinks thats an error.
360 - finding a matching font (e.g. bold version of the base font)
361 was broken (reported by Eamon Walker).
362 - fix parsing of bg image styles. They really work now.
363 - fix blurring of bg image borders when using xrender.
364 - fix xrender blur on common xrender implementations that do
365 not behave correctly when the same pixmap is used as source
366 and destination in composite operations.
367 - fix regression that caused tabbed to compute the wrong size
368 for tabs.
369 - allow again an empty suffix in a keysym list spec (patch by
370 Sung Pae).
371 - unsupported support for sun studio's CC added.
372 - fix -C option on solaris.
373
3749.14 Wed Dec 21 18:40:33 CET 2011
375 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
376 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
377 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
378 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
379 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
380 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
381 to disable both scaling and tiling.
382 - overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
383 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
384 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
385 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
386 - support for libafterimage is deprecated and will be removed
387 in the next release.
388 - fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
389 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
390 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
391 - do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
392 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
393 - fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
394 - fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
395 Filardo).
396 - fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
397 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
398 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
399 the cell size.
400 - sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
401 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
402 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
403 - correctly split long lines when scrolling.
404 - urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
405 - add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
406 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
407 - add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
408 - consume button release event in matcher (exg).
409 - keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
410 (Bob Farrell).
411 - properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
412 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
413 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
414 Pohlack).
415 - support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
416 Michael Stapelberg).
417 - the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
418 - fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size
419 than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top
420 edge (Mikachu).
421 - make $self visible in "eval perl expression" popup action, also
422 handle exceptions better.
423 - fix parsing of '-e' when it occurs as an option argument, such as in
424 'urxvt -title -e' (Emanuele Giaquinta).
425
4269.12 Wed Jun 29 14:34:28 CEST 2011
427 - fix regression in processing of SelectionNotify events.
428 urxvt would fail to request a selection if the owner did not
429 support the UTF8_STRING target.
430 - fix rendering of double width chars in certain circumstances, more
431 likely to happen if urxvt is compiled with 256 colors support as
432 urxvt runs out of fonts much earlier then. Fixes gentoo bug #358151
433 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
434 - restore support for 'list' syntax in keysym resources (requested by Sung Pae).
435 - always premultiply colour values - while this increases differences between
436 core fonts and xft, it is "more correct" in practical situations.
437 - disable PTYTTY_REENTRANT option - not needed for urxvt and saves a bit of code.
438 - remove lucidatypewriter from the list of fallback fonts, it was the only
439 non-xft non-cellfont in the list anyway.
440
4419.11 Mon May 2 10:34:46 CEST 2011
442 - fix compilation on GNU/Hurd, debian bug #624736.
443 - remove 'list' syntax for keysym resources, as it serves no useful purpose.
444 If you need it, poke us and provide a use case.
445 - fix alpha channel support. Premultiply alpha in colours if the visual
446 supports an alpha channel, as xrender expects premultiplied alpha
447 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
448 - fix reply to a selection request sent by an obsolete client
449 such as syncterm (patch by Marcin Cieslak).
450 - fix crash when the window is resized and the overlay is active
451 (Emanuele Giaquinta, reported by Ryan Kavanagh).
452 - match character-wise rather than byte-wise in selection
453 extension again. perl 5.8.9+ is required to avoid extreme
454 slowdowns. Fixes debian bugs #523072, #616463.
455 - fix a possible crash if the INCR transfer process for a
456 selection property timeouts and at least one chunk is
457 received. (Emanuele Giaquinta)
458 - work around a memory corruption bug in xorg's XrmSetDatabase (apparently
459 broken since http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit-diffs/2004-March/000239.html).
460 - fix memory corruption bug when custom command sequences bound to keys
461 were injected into an already-full pty input buffer.
462 - gdk-pixbuf is autodetected by default and preferred over libafterimage.
463 - do not prepend a newline to the selection text when the starting line
464 of the selection is not highlighted (Emanuele Giaquinta).
465 - don't swap perl env with real env, save and restore it, just in case
466 we ever get recursive perl invocations. also saves a bit of codespace
467 with gcc.
468 - fix various memory leaks (Emanuele Giaquinta).
469 - fix typo in kIC terminfo capability, debian bug #446444.
470 - document 'thickness' resource.
471 - fix debian bug #504817, to the extent possible.
472 - try to detect byte order at compile time, saves a couple of
473 hundred bytes, if your compiler is smart enough.
474 - add support for previewing the pasted data in confirm-paste
475 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
476 - added "newlines to spaces" option in selection-popup.
477 - actually enabled solaris event ports backend (was disabled by accident).
478 - revert to 38400 baud max., mission accomplished.
479 - no longer create scary "pty_fill: PLEASE REPORT" message, instead,
480 silently drain the input (problem is well understood now).
481 - no longer swallow rob nation's own graphics mode commands.
482
4839.10 Mon Dec 13 17:43:52 CET 2010
484 - the "schmorp=north korea dickey=south korea" release.
485 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: make OSC 20 simpler and more correct
486 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
487 - if options were compiled out, this could lead to the option
488 count to be defined wrongly. This is likely behind the
489 failures with gcc 4.5.
490 - explicitly depend on fontconfig and xrender when xft support
491 is enabled. Although the public Xft api uses types from
492 both, in Xft 2.2.0 these libs are private
493 dependencies only thanks to an idiotic behaviour of
494 pkg-config that was added to workaround cases like this one.
495 Fixes linking when using GNU ld with --as-needed or GNU gold
496 (based on patch by Jan Palus).
497 - fix minor memory leaks in urxvt and urxvtd.
498 - fix regression in urxvtd that prevented options from being correctly
499 set (reported by Michal Vaner).
500 - implement xterm's horribly broken 1005 mouse reporting mode,
501 and an alternative 1015 mode that works in non-utf-8 locales
502 and has fewer limitations.
503 - fix a possible bug where mouse notifications didn't work after
504 startup for the upper left corner.
505 - implement our own pixbuf to pixmap rendering to get rid of
506 dependency on buggy gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Only truecolor visuals
507 are supported (Emanuele Giaquinta).
508 - apply tinting before shading when both operations are requested.
509 Previously they were intermixed when lightening and the result
510 was inaccurate and confusing. Note that now a black tint yields a
511 completely black image, regardless of shading (Emanuele Giaquinta).
512 - avoid spurious redraws of the bg image when bg is transparent or
513 when using 'root' mode (Emanuele Giaquinta).
514 - fix build on XFree86.
515 - dynamically number options according to compiletime requirements.
516 For the extra saved byte. Or so. Yay.
517 - start options at one, not zero. Wastes a bit per terminal. Maybe.
518 saves 50 instruction bytes. Possibly.
519

533 - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
534 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
535 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
536 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
537 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
538 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
539 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
540 characters other than first one in the selected cell
541 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
542 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
543 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
544 - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
545 (found by Mikachu).
546 - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
547 highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
548 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
549 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
550 - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
551 but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).

554 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
555 for 256 colours.
556 - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
557 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
558 - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
559 88*88 possible pairs.
560 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
561 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
562 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
563 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
564 - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,
565 working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's line editing.
566 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
567 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
568 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
569 - no longer force CERASE to BACKSPACE - use the system default. affects
570 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
571 backspacekey was given.
572 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
573 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
574 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
575 - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
576 - upgrade and port to libev-4.01.
577 - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
