xterm 215 is now available on http://www.blastwave.org/testing

This is the changelog:

Patch #215 - 2006/6/18 - XFree86 4.6.99.2

     * improve setgid support by exploiting the saved-ids feature on 
which it relies (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * make the modifyOtherKeys resource disabled by default since the 
intermediate setting altered some common bindings (report by Emanuele 
Giaquinta).

Patch #214 - 2006/6/18 - XFree86 4.6.99.2

     * modify makefile rule for ctlseqs.txt to strip 
backspace/overstrikes, and add a copy of ctlseqs.txt to the source 
tarballs (requests by Bram Moolenaar, Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * add modifyOtherKeys resource, analogous to the modifyCursorKeys 
resource. This applies to keys that normally would transmit nothing when 
a given modifier is applied (request by Dan Nicolaescu).
     * add default to the acceptable values for the keyboardType 
resource, allowing the -kt command-line option to override app-defaults 
resource settings of sunKeyboard, etc.
     * correct ifdef's for XkbBell() which used the header file but not 
the corresponding function in patch #175 (report by Zach Beane).
     * add xterm manpage to the --with-symlink logic.
     * regenerated configure script to omit some debugging artifacts of 
the SIGWINCH test.
     * fix install-man rule in Makefile.in to avoid including the 
$(DESTDIR) value in substitutions made on the manpages (patch by 
Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * improved fix for cursor deallocation (Redhat #186935, patch by 
Jason Vas Dias).
     * improve checks for setuid/setgid operation to accommodate limited 
resource management in some kernels (GenToo #193238).
     * update config.guess, config.sub

Patch #213 - 2006/4/30 - XFree86 4.5.99.905

     * minor optimization to cell layout; will use that to simplify some 
logic and allow for more than two combining characters in another patch.
     * add utf8Latin1 resource to make optional the feature from patch 
#209 which allowed ISO-8859-1 fonts to be used in cases where a wide 
font was given. This would only work for the special case where the user 
normally used Latin-1 and wanted some wide characters (report by 
Rostislav Krasny).
     * add utf8Title resource to manpage (Novell #52655).
     * fix typo in table entry for utf8Title resource which made it 
treated as an integer rather than boolean (patch by Mike Fabian, Novell 
#52655).
