Major enhancements in this release:

Unicode support enhancements:

* Updated to Unicode 4.1.0:
  * Case conversion, Script information.
  * Combining character width properties.
  * Han information (from Unihan database) for CJK characters.
  * Radical/Stroke input method (to include new CJK characters).
  * Added Hanyu Pinlu and Tang pronunciation information 
    (from Unihan database) to Han information options.
  * Added generic and supplemental character input mnemonics 
    for new LATIN characters.
* Indication and character information of Unicode combining characters 
  now refers to the most recent Unicode version, not the actual 
  terminal capabilities.

Interactive enhancements:
* Conciliated keypad assignment preference conflict between Cut/Paste 
  functions (as propagated by mined) and character deletion / line 
  positioning functions (as often commonly expected):
  * The more common Home/End/Delete function assignments to the 
    respective keypad keys are also easily accessible (e.g. Alt-Del).
  * Documentation for alternative assignment option improved.
  * Using Del without a paste buffer gives an additional hint on 
    alternative usage.
* Pull-down menus are now scrollable so they are always displayed 
  (also the large menus in small terminal windows).
* Additional assignment of "Delete single" function (to delete without 
  auto-undent, or to delete the last combining accent only) to F5 
  Backarrow.
* Additional commands (HOP) F1 F1 / Shift-F1 / Control-F1 / Alt-F1 to 
  display a help status line of (shifted) function key assignments.
* Slight revision of function key assignments to improve intuitive 
  usage and compliance with common usage.
  Unification of DOS version function key assignments.

Interoperability enhancements:
* Improved detection of shifted function keys on various kinds and 
  modes of terminals.
* Added keyboard configuration examples for Control-function key 
  detection for rxvt and mlterm to the runtime support library.
* Added script to support Unicode X font installation to the runtime 
  support library.
* Modified xterm start script "uterm" so that with newer xterm 
  versions (from 201) usage of the xterm built-in most recent version 
  of Unicode width data is enabled (which is often more current than 
  the system-provided locale version).
* Provided makefile for Interix.

Feature enhancements:
* Smart arrows added to optional smart input text replacements.
* New word case toggle function Shift-F3 cycling word casing between 
  all small, beginning capital, and all capitals.
* The "search corresponding bracket" commands ESC ( or ESC ) now also 
  match /* */ pairs and #if #else/#elsif #endif structures.
* New TAB expansion option (-+4 or -+8) that expands TAB key input to 
  an appropriate number of Space characters.

Further enhancements:
* Using paps (a Pango printing script) for printing if available.
* Added PC DOS encoding ("codepage 437") to available encodings.
