    (using the same color as the text)
  - uses alternate mouse cursors where appropriate

  - some minor changes ([Esc], allow for fonts <= 7x10, adjustable timeout,
    modified some command line parameters' formats, minor modification of

       appropriate handling of dead keys)
  - switched to a binary data file format
  - added experimental optional "click to focus" emulation mode
  - made note timeout optional (command line parameter)
