Thanks for this new release.

I noticed the redraw speed is like twice as fast it was on 0.7 on my
stock falcon.
Some odd problems were solved, like a bug when redrawing the first two
left columns when using tmux with a vertical split.
For a two-day hack, the VT10x code is impressive, better than toswin2
on some corner case.

Some improvement that would be nice would be able to use fonts that
are not 8 pixel wide, like the one I use with telvt102 on my ST (5x6).
I could be usefull on stock falcon to have a widest terminal on
800x600 (I use two irssi on a vertical split... :).

PS: I have a strange bug in emacs, [backspace] sends something else,
and [del] sends backspace. It does not happens in nano, irssi, mutt,
..., only emacs.
