 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?)
 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: perl-shell-window? perl-unix-socket?
-TODO:   /*TODO: the xlceararea/xfillrectangle below don't take scroll offste into account, ask mikachu for details */
+TODO:        - upgrade to libev-4.00.
-TODO: investgate wm resize race: while sleep 0.001; do printf "\033[?30l";sleep 0.001;printf "\033[?30h";done
+	- Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
-TODO: investigate miroslav patches
+	  is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
-TODO: artificially enlargen wide characters at end to correctly cut&paste.
+        - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
-TODO: cursor over overlays, when focus change?
+          be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
+        - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
+	- 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).
+	- new iso14755 option to disable ISO 14755 at runtime
+          (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
+          (found by Mikachu).
+	- make OSC 17 / 19 apply to highlightColor / highlightTextColor.
+	- remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19.
+	- add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
+	  highlighted characters.
+	- make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
+	  but not to non selected cells with reverse video.
+	- remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
+	- fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	- searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
+	  (Emanuele Giaquinta).
+        - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
+          for 256 colours.
+	- add support for 256 colors.
+        - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in that mode.
+        - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
+          the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
+	- 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).
+        - no longer force CERASE to DEL - use the system default. affects
+          default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
+          backspacekey was given.
+        - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
+        - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
+          was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).
+        - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
+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-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
+          the old version to macosx-clipboard-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.
         - 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.
 	- 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 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
