 rxvt-unicode changelog <= google-friendly title
 TODO: init_secondary serves what purpose? maybe move it to earlier startup phase and re-think
 TODO: xcopyarea pass broken, fix and improve
-TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_keyboard_command with something more scalable.
+TODO: event mechanism that replaces on_user_command with something more scalable.
 TODO: slipwheeling needs a keyboard grab to get key release events.
 TODO: overlays collide with the way the out-of-focus cursor is being drawn
 TODO: "slow" rendering mode for bidi and scripts, pango!
 TODO: read property sequence is broken with respect to utf-8 etc.
 TODO: slow drag selection on remote display - other things seem fast (rxvt illness, motion hints?)
+TODO: better resource handling for tabbar in -pe tabbed.
-TODO: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
+WISH: investigate -pe tabbed -g 80x25 being 23 not 24 or 25 lines
       => when setting the constraints, the wm might (correctly)
          resize the outer window, which might result in a smaller window overall.
          or something like that. guys, send me a patch.
 WISH: coloured pastebin
 WISH: selection-color-pair instead of reverse video
 WISH: load system-wide config file even if we don't have one
 WISH: look into XAddConnectionWatch, does anybody need that?
 DUMB: support tex fonts
-TODO: rxvt -font 10x20 -xrm "*.tabbed.font: 10x20" -pe tabbed
+TODO: perl-shell-window?
-      how does one affect the tab windows themselves? seems not to work anymore.
+TODO:        - upgrade to libev-4.00.
+TODO: make fontCount dependent on ENABLE_256... in an INTELLIGENT way
+	- fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
+	  (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- add support for 256 colors.
+	- add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
+	  selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
+	  on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
+        - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
+          be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
+	- extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the
+	  characters other than first one in the selected cell
+	  (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
+          (found by Mikachu).
+	- new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
+          (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
+          for 256 colours.
+9.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
+	- port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
+          in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
+        - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
+          was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
+          Mikachu).
+        - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
+	- enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
+          systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
+	- urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
+          (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
+        - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
+          input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
+          refresh (reported by Mikachu).
+        - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
+          recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+        - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
+          try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
+          (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
+        - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
+          sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
+        - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
+          is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
+        - update to libptytty 1.3.
+        - replace macosx-pastebin by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
+          the old version to macosx-pastebin-native.
+        - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
+        - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
+        - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
+          namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
+          though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
+          in need of fixing. go figure.
+        - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
+        - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
+          to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
+          the new ->selection_screen method.
+        - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
+          (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
+        - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
+        - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
+9.06 Sat Nov  8 17:47:18 CET 2008
+	- NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
+        - updates libev to 3.48.
+	- the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
+          when a window was closed.
+        - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
+          scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
+        - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
+          when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
+        - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
+          when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
+          makes copy&paste work.
+	- remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
+          no longer apply.
+        - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
+        - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
+	- perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
+	- ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
+        - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
+        - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
+          monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
+        - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
+          the only known workaround.
+        - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
+        - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
+          to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
+        - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
+          client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
+          disabling size hints.
+        - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
+          and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
+          as mouse reporting.
+        - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
+          tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
+        - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
+          droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
+        - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
+        - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
+        - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
+        - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
+          overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
+        - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
+          (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
+9.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
 	- new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
         - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
 	- work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
           header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).
-	- upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend
+	- upgrade libev, fixing a bug in the select backend.
           with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
 	- correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
           after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
           issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
           sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
           broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
           help working window managers as well.
 	- made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
         - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
         - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
+        - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
+          from the toplevel window to the children.
         - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
         - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
         - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
         - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
 	- add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
 9.0  Fri Jan 25 19:34:04 CET 2008
 	- fix a crash bug where urxvtd would crash when urxvtc was called
           with wrong arguments (I wish debian maintainers in general would
-          report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintaienrs
+          report bugs and their proposed fixes to the original package maintainers
           instead of sitting on them for good measure to see if anybody notices).
         - drawing xft compose characters was causing garbage to be drawn.
         - correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
 	- implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
         - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt
           the high performance libev (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
         - minor tuning to the perl selection (include single words and more quoting chars).
 	- fix memory leak in pixmap code.
 	- fix a serious bug while setting the XIM destroy callback
           on (typical) 64 bit systems.
-	- automove-background functionality re-implemented internaly using :root op in pixmap
+	- automove-background functionality re-implemented internally using :root op in pixmap
 	  geometry string. For example: rxvt -pixmap "image.jpg;:root"
         - do not link rxvtc against every lib on the planet anymore.
         - parallel builds should work once more.
 8.4  Sat Oct 27 14:02:13 CEST 2007
 	- overhaul of the transparency/pixmap code (sasha).
-	- fix possible race betwen visual bell and poweron.
+	- fix possible race between visual bell and poweron.
           (reported by Martin von Gagern, gentoo?).
         - urxvt -e no longer crashes the child.
         - fixed some minor memleaks on incorrect usage or
           missing DISPLAY.
         - implement xterm 1002/1003 mouse tracking modes (exg).
           earlier versions only read it if display-resources (usually from
           .Xresources) are not set. This avoids the #1 FAQ ("why isn't my
           resource used") and seems to be logical behaviour, too. .Xdefaults
           resources have a lower priority than display-specific resources.
         - add "kuake" perl extension that does a similar thing to the kuake
-          terminal emulator (see man urxtvperl).
+          terminal emulator (see man urxvtperl).
         - use less "correct" color scaling that is compatible with libX11 and
           Xft (avoids off-by-one colors resulting in striped backgrounds).
         - the "depth" resource is now respected.
         - preset the searchable-scrollback pattern with "(?i)" to default search
           to case-insensitivity. Will automatically be cleared when typing an
         - modified XIM according to a patch sent by Takano Akio that sets
           the preedit rectangle for OverTheSpot, which helps some input methods
           to correctly position their preedit window.
         - un-optimise the line clearing on newly scrolled-in lines a bit: the
           former reasoning was that any fg colour on default bg looks the same
-          in empty spaces, but thats not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
+          in empty spaces, but that's not true when reversing (e.g. selection),
           so also check for matching fg colours. This fixes the problem where
           selecting newly scrolled-in lines would exhibit wrong colours.
         - fix a bug in the perl interface causing focus in events to generate
           focus out perl events, causing bad focus effects with -pe tabbed.
         - fix a race resulting in a crash on exiting.
 7.6  Fri Feb 10 08:52:36 CET 2006
 	- changed interpretation of [alpha] colour prefix.
         - +option now really sets the option to default, instead of using the
           resource value.
         - options that require an argument now really _require_ an argument.
-        - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and keys events to th
+        - the tabbed extension now forwards focus and key events to the
           relevant tab window.
         - tab colours are now configurable and have sensible defaults
           (initial patch by hednod).
         - option menu is extendable, readline, selection and
           selection-autotransform can now be disabled/enabled at runtime.
           being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
         - implemented override-redirect option and enabled it on menus,
           as kwin puts our windows behind the terminal (what a shoddy wm).
         - fixed struct utmp check in configure for OpenBSD.
         - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
-          (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+          (Emanuele Giaquinta=exg).
 	- add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
           to set the window title.
         - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
           some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
           at the wrong time.
 	- added doc/embed-tk, an embedding example in Perl/Tk,
 	  and doc/rxvt-tabbed, a primitive tabbed shell implemented
 	  in Perl/Gtk2.
 	- fix assertion failure ("crash") on mousewheel-scrolling
 	  when the terminal height is small, by removing the assert.
-	  (reported by Mikael Magnusson).
+	  (reported by Mikael Magnusson=Mikachu).
 	- SYNCCVS. backported bugfixes done to rxvt
 	  (sourceforge bugs #1028739, #1028732), except for
 	  pts/%s fix as it seems to collide with freebsd,
 	  and sourceforge bug #954654, which is not neccessary.
 	- change terminfo file to not clobber G1 when using
