--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Announcing the release of selection-1.8, a utility for xterm-like copy and
paste on Linux virtual consoles using the mouse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fixes and new features for 1.8 include:

 -  made extend action behave just like xterm.
 -  made mouse movement horizontal and vertical scale factor and click
    interval user-selectable (-x, -y and -i options).
 -  searches for /dev/console if /dev/tty0 does not exist.
 -  added test mode for debugging and mouse testing (-D option).
 -  checks for correct kernel configuration and running from a VC.
 -  added separate install targets for binary, man and compressed man.

The new version can currently be found at

    ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/selection-1.8.tar.gz
