26 - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
27 is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
28 - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
29 be generated for numpad keys (introduced in 9.05).
30 - fix definition of sgr0 to work around limitations in luit.
31 - extend ISO 14755 5.4 mode to also print the font name of the

41 - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
42 highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).

47 - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
48 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
49 - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
50 for 256 colours.
51 - add support for 256 colors.
52 - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in 256 colors mode.
53 - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
54 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
55 - add support for grabbing the clipboard selection and extend
56 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
57 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).
58 - no longer force CERASE to DEL - use the system default. affects
59 default value for VERASE only when no compatible setting for
60 backspacekey was given.
61 - use higher than 38400 baudrate setting, if detected.
62 - erase screen would clear to the wrong background when blinking
63 was enabled (which selects high intensity under some circumstances).

65
669.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
67 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
68 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
69 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
70 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
71 Mikachu).
72 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
73 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
74 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
75 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
76 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
77 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
78 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).
79 - avoid redrawing wide characters with combining enabled on every
80 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
81 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
82 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
83 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
84 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
85 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
86 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
87 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
88 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
89 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
90 - update to libptytty 1.3.
91 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move
92 the old version to macosx-clipboard-native.
93 - document the -uc option (Emanuele Giaquinta).
94 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
95 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
96 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
97 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
98 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
99 in need of fixing. go figure.
100 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
101 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
102 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using
103 the new ->selection_screen method.
104 - implement --enable-assert configure option and get rid of DEBUG_STRICT
105 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
106 - fix printpipe data output (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
107 - allow `xxx' quoting style for perl selection.
108 - upgrade to libev-3.9 prerelease.
109 - updated compose tables to unicode 5.2.0.
110
1119.06 Sat Nov 8 17:47:18 CET 2008
112 - NOTICE: this release updates terminfo/termcap.
113 - updates libev to 3.48.
114 - the aterm code now frees the as visual and image manager objects
115 when a window was closed.
116 - do not (wrongly) adjust the virtual line length inside
117 scr_insdel_chars/ERASE (Miroslav Lichvar).
118 - fix an issue where wide tab characters caused character shifts
119 when part of them was deleted (tracked down by Miroslav Lichvar).
120 - artificially enlargen the previous character at the end of a line
121 when trying to output a character that doesn't fit. looks ugly, but
122 makes copy&paste work.
123 - remove bogus "setuid/setgid security issues" from rxvt.1.pod, they
124 no longer apply.
125 - the urgency hint is now cleared on both focus in and focus out.
126 - cache urgency hint locally to avoid server rtt on every focus change.
127 - perl 5.10 needs PERL_SYS_INIT3 on hppa.
128 - ignore byte-order marks and do not treat them like combining characters.
129 - fix build issue when CURSOR_BLINK is not defined (Emanuele Giaquinta).
130 - do some µ-optimisations to the character fast path.
131 - use a less cunning, but more robust algorithm to avoid one terminal
132 monopolising the whole process by outputting a lot of text.
133 - try to work around linux first breaking sched_yield and now breaking
134 the only known workaround.
135 - new option -icon to set _NET_WM_ICON (based on patch by Frank Schmitt).
136 - initialise the as visual only on demand, instead of unconditionally,
137 to save memory in the common case of not using visual gimmicks.
138 - try to work around bugs in a few wm's that erroneously resize
139 client windows on hint property updates by temporarily
140 disabling size hints.
141 - implement the DECSTR soft reset sequence and use it for tput init,
142 and make hard RIS and DECSTR both reset more private modes, such
143 as mouse reporting.
144 - redundantly clear mouse reporting and a few other states in
145 tput init/tput reset, for older urxvts.
146 - partial/full clear screens did cause flickering and possibly pixel
147 droppings when urxvt viewed the scrollback buffer.
148 - use current rendition style in DCH sequence.
149 - the 132/80 mode switch no longer forces a screen reset.
150 - add an osc sequence to change the border colour (Emanuele Giaquinta).
151 - new perl extension "overlay-osc", for status displays and the like.
152 - fix some minor cursor drawing issues with overlays by allowing
153 overlays to modify screen flags (to disable the cursor themselves).
154 - work around programs not restoring rstyle before rmcup
155 (analysed by Miroslav Lichvar).
156
1579.05 Sun Jun 15 20:09:20 CEST 2008
158 - new option --cd/chdir to set the starting working directory.
159 - tabbed extension now starts in the "correct" working directory.
160 - work around fedora 9 providing isastream but not the relevant
161 header file for it (report by Tuncer Ayaz).

163 with more than 31 file descriptors on non-linux 64 bit systems.
164 - correctly reset the multibyte state to the initial one
165 after EILSEQ (patch by Neil Booth). This fixes the
166 issue of rxvt-unicode not properly displaying text after an illegal
167 sequence on NetBSD and probably other systems.
168 - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
169 broken window managers (kwm et al.), saves bandwidth and should
170 help working window managers as well.
171 - made tabs moveable (based on a patch by Petr Machata).
172 - implement ESC [ 3 K as a more rational alternative to ESC [ 0 K.
173 - support relative paths for RXVT_SOCKET in urxvtd.
174 - the tabbed extension now blindly copies over all (rxvt-) resources
175 from the toplevel window to the children.
176 - better diagnostic on 0x0 window geometries.
177 - update AnyEvent API to version 3.4 and above.
178 - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
179 - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.

183 - fix build with !xft.
184 - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
185
1869.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
187 - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
188 with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
189 received" problem, again :)
190 - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
