0.15.2
======
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.
