Hi!

This is a release candidate (or a preview, or certainly something close to
the 9.09 release):

  rxvt-unicode-9.09.tar.bz2

The rxvt-unicode team would be happy if people tried it out. The changelog is
extensive, the most notable changes are the addition of a gdk-pixbuf backend
that replaces the libafterimage backend, and a 256 color mode, with all the
problems this brings.

The full Changes list so far is:

       - it was verified that urxvt handles µ and μ correctly.
       - cleanup and minor fixes of the image code (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - add support for blending and blurring with XRender (Emanuele
Giaquinta).
       - add support for using gdk-pixbuf as image backend (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - new perl extension "confirm-paste" (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - new on_tt_paste perl hook and tt_paste perl binding (Emanuele
Giaquinta).
       - new on_bell perl hook (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - searchable-scrollback no longer ignores the first line
         (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - properly set VSTATUS in termios for *BSD (reported by Ed Schouten).
       - fix utmpx detection on upcoming FreeBSD 9.
       - Use COMPOUND_TEXT encoding for WM_NAME/WM_ICON_NAME value when it
         is not fully convertible to STRING (patch by James Cloos).
       - fix a buffer overflow that would cause wrong key sequences to
         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).
       - make sure pagewise scrolling scrolls at least one line
         (found by Mikachu).
       - remove deprecated OSC 18 / 19 and make OSC 17 / 19 apply to
         highlightColor / highlightTextColor (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - add highlightTextColor resource to change the foreground colour of
         highlighted characters (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - make highlightColor apply also to selected cells with reverse video
         but not to non selected cells with reverse video (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - remove colorRV resource (it was enabled only with frills off).
       - fix numlock handling, the most longstanding bug to date
(Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - reduce the number of custom bits to 4, to make room
         for 256 colours.
       - add support for 256 colors (Emanuele Giaquinta, Marc Lehmann).
       - add rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo and use it by default in
256 colors mode.
       - update rxvt-unicode terminfo to state 7744 colour pairs to cover all
         88*88 possible pairs.
       - actually added macosx-clipboard-native, which should have been in
         the 9.07 release but had been forgotten.
       - fix hang if DECAWM is not set and there are not enough
columns to insert a
         character (Emanuele Giaquinta).
       - cub1 ("backspace") will now respect wrapping when past the
rightmost column,
         working around a shortcoming of most tty line discipline's
line editing.
       - 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 BACKSPACE - 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).
       - scr_kill_char didn't touch the line.
       - upgrade and port to libev-4.0.
       - enabled solaris event ports and kqueue backends (if available).
