rxvt-unicode 8.3

rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt, modified to store text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4) and to use locale-correct input and output. rxvt-unicode also supports mixing multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts.
Main features:
- Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).
- Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale, rxvt-unicode will display correctly.
- Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which improves memory usage and startup time considerably.
- Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than rxvt and its many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.
- Completely flicker-free.
- Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).
- Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters.
- Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.
- Can easily be embedded into other applications.
- All documentation accessible through manpages.
- Locale-independent XIM support.
- Many small improvements, such as improved and correct terminfo, improved secondary screen modes, italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.
Version restrictions:
- Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)
- Left-To-Right rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)
- Tabs (although a supplied perl script implements a tabbed shell). (use mrxvt)
- IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)
Enhancements:
- This release optionally takes advantage of libafterimage for much improved image format and transparency support: transparency is now officially supported.
- Some new options are available: "skipScroll" hides fast scrolling text, "urgentOnBell" sets urgent hints to use an ASCII bell, and the "iso14755_52" resource controls the keycap insert mode.
- Portability has been enhanced, and many minor bugs have been fixed.
