    How do I compile the manual pages on my own?
     You need to have a recent version of perl installed as /usr/bin/perl,
-    one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2xhtml (from Pod::XHTML).
+    one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2xhtml (from Pod::Xhtml).
     Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter "make alldoc".
    Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
     I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
     bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
     This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very
     early and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before
     main(), or things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should
     result in very little risk.
-   On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
-    Seems to be a known bug, read
-    <http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
-    following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
-       #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)
    I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all.
     Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol "__STDC_ISO_10646__" to be defined in
     your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
     whether it defines the symbol or not. "__STDC_ISO_10646__" requires that
     wchar_t is represented as unicode.
     The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
     system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
     complete replacements for them :)
-   I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc.
-    Try the diff in doc/solaris9.patch as a base. It fixes the worst
-    problems with "wcwidth" and a compile problem.
    How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
     rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using the
     X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no longer
     supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a single
     font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or
     old libW11 emulation.
     At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any
     multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are
     likely limited to 8-bit encodings.
+   Character widths are not correct.
+    urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about the
+    width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you will
+    likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, where
+    single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, and
+    Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
+    The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
+    possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
+    http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
 RXVT-UNICODE TECHNICAL REFERENCE
     The rest of this document describes various technical aspects of
     rxvt-unicode. First the description of supported command sequences,
     followed by pixmap support and last by a description of all features
         also be specified.
     --enable-xpm-background (default: on)
         Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
+    --enable-afterimage (default: on)
+        Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and
+        background images. It adds support for many file formats including
+        JPG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep
+        image XML
+        (<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>).
+        This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the
+        root background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of
+        background images.
+        Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might
+        increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
+        (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
+        footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
+        without support for SVG.
     --enable-transparency (default: on)
         Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
         transparency to the term.
     --enable-fading (default: on)
-        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires
+        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
-        "--enable-transparency").
     --enable-tinting (default: on)
         Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires
         "--enable-transparency").
     --enable-keepscrolling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the
         mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
+    --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on)
+        Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or
+        bottom of the screen.
     --enable-mousewheel (default: on)
         Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
     --enable-slipwheeling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
         accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
         requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
-    --disable-new-selection
-        Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-    --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
-        <http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/> for details If you use either this
-        or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
-        compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
-        You can only use either this option and the following (should you
-        use either) .
-    --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
-        Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See
-        <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
-    --enable-smart-resize (default: on)
+    --enable-smart-resize (default: off)
-        Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via hot
+        Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep
-        keys. This should keep the window corner which is closest to a
+        the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a
-        corner of the screen in a fixed position.
+        fixed position.
     --enable-pointer-blank (default: on)
         Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
     --enable-perl (default: on)
         environment variable when running configure. Even when compiled in,
         perl will *not* be initialised when all extensions have been
         disabled "-pe "" --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to
         enable from a resource standpoint.
+    --with-afterimage-config=DIR
+        Look for the libAfterImage config script in DIR.
     --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
         Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt",
         "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt".
     --with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode)
