101 Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
102 disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
103 you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
104 translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,
105 <xF1>, etc.

431 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
432 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
433 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
434 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.

562 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
563 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
564 and the * stands for the modifier code.
565 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
566 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
567 modifiers.
