If you are an xterm user using Fedora Core 1 or 2, please upgrade to this xterm release and test it as much as possible.
Trying it on FC1 - The first thing I noticed is - the 'blue' color used by 'ls --color=auto' for 'dir' listings is different (a bit lighter shade. Not sure if this is a bug - but don't mind this new color.
I still have the old xterms running - so I could compare..
Yep, that's one of the changes. Upstream xterm's colors are slightly different from what Red Hat has shipped. I think they used to be very ugly or something, so we added customizations to make it prettier, then xterm cleaned itself up over time to look nicer, but with slightly different shade of blue. That's not fact, just personal hypothesis. ;o)
