56 the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
57 - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough columns to insert a
58 character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
59 - cub1 ("backspace") will not respect wrapping when past the rightmost column,

62 selection{_clear,_grab,} perl bindings to optionally work
63 on the clipboard selection (based on patch by Dana Jansens).

739.07 Wed Dec 30 07:07:18 CET 2009
74 - port to glibc-2.10 changes (strchr etc. returning const char *
75 in C++), based on patches by Milos Jakubicek and Oliver Mader.
76 - the binary search algorithm to find precomposed characters
77 was faulty, skipping some possible combinations (found by
78 Mikachu).
79 - new -letterspace option, patch by Mark H. Wilkinson.
80 - enable --mlock option for urxvt with frills on
81 systems supporting it (patch by Russell Harmon).
82 - urxvt did not compile without frills enabled
83 (analysed by Matthew Rosewarne).
84 - correctly reset the mbstate after an illegal
85 input sequence when handling terminal output (Emanuele Giaquinta).

87 refresh (reported by Mikachu).
88 - fix a typo preventing the ISO-646.1991 character set from being
89 recognized (http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
90 - better warning for x11 font encoding detection failures, also,
91 try to deduce encoding from both font properties and name
92 (adapted from http://achurch.org/patch-pile/).
93 - resizing the window with the scrollbar disabled via the escapes
94 sequence could make the window bigger again (Mikachu).
95 - make sure the alignment for fd passing control messages
96 is correct and work around some NetBSD issues (Taylor R Campbell).
97 - update to libptytty 1.3.
98 - replace macosx-clipboard by a nicer version by Reza Jelveh, and move

101 - assertions in libev are now enabled depending on frills.
102 - update AnyEvent implementation to version 5.23 API.
103 - work around arrogant bsd idiocies again: netbsd spills the default
104 namespace with lots of symbols "for gnu/gcc compatibility" even
105 though neither of them does it, and then calls the rest of the world
106 in need of fixing. go figure.
107 - on_keyboard_command is on_user_command (patch by Michael Witten).
108 - setting the selection from perl will now reset the selection screen
109 to the current screen. the screen can be manipulated using

112 (based on patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
