Hi!

This is a beta release of urxvt 9.13:

 http://data.plan9.de/rxvt-unicode-9.12.tar.bz2

The rxvt-unicode team would be happy if people tried it out. Note that
the tarball and dir it unpacks to, as well as the version reported by
urxvt, is still 9.12 in this beta release.

The changes so far are:

- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the urxvtd default socket path is now
 $HOME/.urxvt/urxvtd-<nodename>.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the "list" keysym expansion now requires
 loading of the "keysym-list" perl extension.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: A scale value of 0 in the bg image
 geometry no longer enables tiling, so as to make it possible
 to disable both scaling and tiling.
- overhaul of the bg image operations. The old operations have
 been deprecated in favour of elementary operations and
 styles built on top of the new operations and scale/position
 settings. (Emanuele Giaquinta).
- fix a crash caused by selection_check not properly resetting
 out-of-bounds mark values (can happen when extending a selection
 while scrolling up in curses programs for example).
- do not move the selection when scrolling up and the selection is
 outside the scrolling region (Emanuele Giaquinta).
- fix display of bold bright black (reported by Ben Winslow).
- fix memory leak when urgentOnBell is set (patch by Nathaniel
 Filardo).
- fix a redraw bug that occurs when a bg pixmap is set and the
 wm does not honour the size hints set by urxvt. Now urxvt
 forces the size of the terminal window to be a multiple of
 the cell size.
- sanitise the argument of SD / SU sequences. Fixes a possible
 crash when the argument is big enough, red hat bug #711137
 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
- correctly split long lines when scrolling.
- urxvt now looks for perl extensions also in $HOME/.urxvt/ext.
- add bell-command perl extension to execute a command when a
 bell event occurs (Ryan Kavanagh).
- add set_urgency perl binding to set/reset the urgency hint.
- consume button release event in matcher (exg).
- keyboard accessible list of recent matches in matcher
 (Bob Farrell).
- properly process 'keysym' sequences in tabbed when using
 'focus follows mouse' and the focus is on the main window
 but not on the active terminal window (patch by Martin
 Pohlack).
- Support for the freedesktop startup-notification protocol (patch by
 Michael Stapelberg).
- the direction of VPR and VPB commands was reversed.
