- Patch #327 - 2016/10/07
* add a check in the function which handles end-of-line
wrapping to ensure that C1 controls are allocated one column
when allowC1Printable is set (Debian #738794).
* use consistent error-checking after strtol calls, fixes a
case where a query with OSC 6 did not ensure there was a
valid color number (report by Alex Smith).
* add -baudrate option, for testing ncurses.
* always generate the CASE_xxx symbols in VTparse.h and
Tekparse.h, as part of a change to improve debug-logging.
This makes the build always depend upon awk.
* modify allowC1Printable to disallow codes 160-254 as being
equivalent to codes 32-126 when parsing escape sequences
(Debian #839220).
* amend fix from patch #326 for TrueType fonts to exclude the
hidden character used for double-width cells (report by Grady
Martin).
* fix a typo in ctlseqs.ms (forwarded request 441219 from pcerny)

(prompted by Freedesktop #15979).

are no established applications which rely upon these; some
