Vte-0.15.2 is available for download at: http://download.gnome.org/sources/vte/0.15/ Vte is GNOME 2's virtual-terminal emulation widget. This is an unstable release in the development cycle targeted for GNOME 2.18. This is a very exciting release. Most of the changes are made by Chris Wilson who just got access to the vte repository. On his first day he committed more than 20 large patches, cleaning various parts of the code base and optimizing too! As a result of huge changes in this release, some regressions, specially on less common systems/architectures is expected. Please file bugs. 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.
