+Version 2.7 - 7 April 2001
+
+* changed default cursor to underline (ugly block cursor is still
+  available as "very visible", i. e. "tput cvvis")
+
+* colors are now fully ansi-compatible 
+
+* terminal capabilities `bold' and `dim' are now represented using
+  light resp. half-bright colors where applicable
+
+* support for alternate character set (pc graphics)
+
+* TERM is automatically set to `tw52-m' or `tw100-m' if less than
+  8 colors are available
+
+* terminfo source files updated (many bugfixes), recompile
+  it with tic on the target system
+
+* environment variable COLORTERM is set to 1 if color support available
+
+* The horizontal slider has vanished.  If you want to get it back
+  call me at office hours and keep your credit card at hand.  Please
+  allow six weeks for delivery.
+
+* The checkbox for so-called auto-wrapping has vanished.  Explanation:
+  It really enabled semi-automatic margins, i. e. printing in the
+  last column caused a line-break.  Now both tw52 and tw100 have
+  proper automatic margins and there is no more need for such a
+  user-definable feature.
+
+* Ultra-smart srcolling. ;-)
+  Displaying large amounts of data is now 3-9 times faster.
+
+* Implemented origin mode.
+
+* Implemented full (RSI) and soft (DECSTR) terminal reset.
