* Some applications now support UTF-8 text through the use of a very
simple decoder.
* The terminal uses a slow, but accurate method to determine the width
of a character the first time it is printed to the screen. Characters
are now stored in the terminal in two bytes, rather than one, and may
in the future be increased to 3 or 4 bytes to ensure support for
Unicode supplemental planes.
* A simple font-fallback method is employed in the applications that
support unicode that will make use of the VL Gothic fonts if the
DejaVu font does not have a character. No guarantees are made for
support of writing systems other than extended Latin and Japanese.
This update includes support for shadow passwords, stored in
/etc/master.passwd, as well as support for an /etc/passwd file
containing user/uid/full name/shell associations, which are used by the
shell to get your username for display purposes, as well as by whoami
for the same reason. The login tool does not yet select the right shell
though this is planned.
* root's password is `toor` (a throwback to older times)
* local's password is `local` (because it's obvious)
