This is DEFINATELY the last version. I hope. A few little bits, and a biggy.
If you have a high speed modem, you definately want to upgrade.

exert from CHANGES:

1.0.8 --> 1.0.9
	
3 fixes by Kay Roemer. Term will now close some files that it wasn't
before, read buffered data from a child that has exited, and close the
right sockets for children.

Alpha/osf1 support from Marius Hancu

Prevent compressing more than 2K of data into a single packet.

The biggy. Preventing data overruns. People using TCP connections that
have very compressable data can now work in peace. Term previouly used
fixed size buffers. Now it uses dynamic buffers. This means that if a
client is a bit slow in reading data from term, term will increase the
buffer size instead of throwing away data. On the down size, term's
memory usage is now theoretically unlimited. This should fix most if
not all of the problems people had with X over term. I finally got
bitten by this once too often.
