1.0
        - -geometry now expects _pixels_ not _characters_.
        - sped up redraws considerably (depending on xserver).
        - i18n: locale settings for multibyte characters are respected.
        - proportional fonts are supported now.
	- supports options as --long options now.
	- force initial call to redraw().
	- added options:
	    * -whole : to only display lines once they are \n terminated
	    * -partial: to display lines whether they are terminated or not
	    * -update: to attempt to complete old partial lines 'in-place'
	    * -cont: to specify a string to prefix 'broken' partial lines with
            * -outline: black outline (relatively slow).
            * -noflicker: slower but flickerfree update.
          many of these and other improvements were brought to you by
          Chris Moore.

	- backported fixes from Marco d'Itri, who did most of the maintaining

          sourceforge release.
