Highlights of improvements in this release: - Moving around in vim and mc is a lot faster now, thanks to much smaller areas that will be redrawn with this release. - Mouse wheel is usable in mc now, since we don't generate release events for scroll wheel events anymore. - Faster. One of the internal timers was completely removed, and lots of unnecessary work is not done anymore. Particularly when the widget is not visible. - Switched to using g_spawn_async to fork the child process, so we can now enjoy the error checking implemented in that functions. Failed forks now return an error message. - Accessibility improvements. - New environment variable VTE_BACKEND, to choose which rendering backend to use. The old VTE_USE_* env vars are deprecated and not functional anymore. - Bugs fixed in this release: Bug 399137 - continuation.
