 Notable new features:
 
-* unfinished enhancement 822: UTF-8 as terminal charset, not
-  merely UTF-8 I/O of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions.
-  Double-cell (aka fullwidth) and non-BMP characters work too, but
-  combining characters and right-to-left text do not.  The only
-  multibyte charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the
-  server outputs e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy.
