There was a long-standing bug with multi-byte characters which caused
crashes and weird cursor positioning, which I fixed in CVS earlier this
week.

The code also didn't support GTK Input Methods, which broke typing new
text in languages other than English; again I added this to CVS a couple
of days ago.

With the CVS version, I have successfully edited files that contain
Cyrillic and Kanji characters, and successfully entered new Cyrillic
characters into those files.  Though the GTK Input Method stuff is a bit
experimental at this stage - needs some user-testing.

I'm working on doing a new release with these bugfixs, plus all the
other new stuff that's gone in, hopefully will be available today or
tomorrow, though we've had a few difficulties.

Please test the new code!  If you experience problems, please file
reports in Bugzilla.

Thanks!
