 %changelog
+* Mon Nov 12 2012 Luis Bazan <lbazan@fedoraproject.org> - 1.7.0-1
+- New Upstream Version
+  1. added redirecting /dev/tty0 output to FbTerm's sub-window
+  2. added option "ambiguous-wide" to treat ambiguous CJK characters as wide width
+  3. added option "font-height" to force font height
+  4. added shortcut CTRL_ALT_K to kill the frozen IM server
+  5. fixed a bug where curses line drawing characters give inverted questions marks
+  6. fixed a text auto selection bug
+  7. fixed a logical error in terminal insert mode
+  8. fixed a few other bugs 
+
+- From version 1.7, FbTerm redirects /dev/tty0 output to the pseudo terminal of current sub-window. In linux before version 2.6.10, anybody can do this as long as the output was not redirected yet; since version 2.6.10, only root or a process with the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability may do this.
+- In a number of CJK encodings there are ambiguous width characters which have a width of either narrow or wide depending on the context of their use. By default, FbTerm treats them as narrow width characters, the new added option "ambiguous-wide" may be used to change the behavior.

 * Thu Jul 19 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 1.6-6
