24 how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore. 30 (found by Mikachu).
31 - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
32 - new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
33 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
25 34
26TODO: implement initial chdir for tabs by making it a resource? 359.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
36 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
37 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
38 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
39 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
40 Mikachu).
41 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
42 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
43 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
44 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
45 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
46 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
47 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
48 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
49 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
50 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
51 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
52 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
53 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
54 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
55 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
56 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
57 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
58 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
59 - update to libptytty 1.3.
60 - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
61 the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
62 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
63 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
64 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
65 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
66 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
67 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
68 in need of fixing. go figure.
69 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
70 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
71 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
72 the new ->selection_screen method.
73 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
74 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
75 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
76 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
77 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
78 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.

81 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
82 - updates libev to 3.48.
83 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
84 when a window was closed.
85 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
86 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
87 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
88 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
89 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
90 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
91 makes copy&paste work.
92 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
93 no longer apply.
94 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
95 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
96 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
97 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
98 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
99 - do some ยต-optimisations to the character fast path.
100 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
101 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
102 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
103 the only known workaround.
104 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
105 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
106 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
107 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
108 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
109 disabling size hints.
110 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
111 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
112 as mouse reporting.
113 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
114 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
115 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
116 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
117 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
118 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
119 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
120 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
121 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
122 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).

34 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems. 136 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
137 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
138 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
139 help working window managers as well.
35 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata). 140 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
