Epsilon for Unix now works with the -add flag (to add files to an existing Epsilon session). The -dde flag, now renamed -server, now also works under Unix to set the server name Epsilon uses. The Unix version also recognizes a -wait flag. It works like -add, but also tells the sending Epsilon process to wait until the user issues the resume-client command. This is useful if you want to set an external editor for a program, and have the request go to an existing Epsilon session.
The EEL compiler is now more integrated under Unix. As a result, commands like eval and execute-eel now work, and you can compile and load EEL source files without saving them to disk first.
Epsilon for FreeBSD now understands Alt keys when running on the console keyboard with a suitable keymap. A new variable national-keys-not-alt lets you control whether Epsilon recognizes Alt keys or national language characters in those Unix environments where only of these at a time may be used (such as the FreeBSD console).
