+TODO: make fontCount dependent on ENABLE_256... in an INTELLIGENT way
+ - 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).
+ - 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.
+
+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

+ - 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 ยต-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.

+ - 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.
+ - more intelligent property handling with -pe tabbed, works around
+ 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.

+ - document the default value of :0 for DISPLAY.
+ - rename perl method XChangeWindowProperty to XChangeProperty.
+
+9.02 Tue Jan 29 11:58:36 CET 2008

+ - always compile in plain style scrollbar (simplifies code and looks great).
+
+9.01 Sat Jan 26 20:49:27 CET 2008
+ - be more aggressive about handling X events, this seems to be required
+ with newer xlibs (should fix the "screen stays black until event is
+ received" problem, again :)
+ - add buffered resource to control xft double-buffering.
+

- correctly clear xft character background in all cases.
- implement bracketed paste mode (xterm private mode 2004).
+ - improve documentation on alpha channel handling, make urxvt

+ channels or background images are used.
- check for refresh after initialising to avoid staying blank
till the first event arrives. or so.
- the FORCE_UNBUFFERED_XFT feature macro works again.
- the 132/80 mode switch now forces a height of 24, too, and
resets the terminal.
- scrollbar code cleanups.
+ - stopping children is no longer confused with children exiting.
+ - removed (undocumented) #aarrggbb format.
