* The terminal's default foreground and background colors
  are now used by default (`sciteco --no-profile`), so SciTECO
  integrates naturally into all terminal color schemes, even
  dark-on-bright ones.
* The default Scintilla colors use only 0x000000 (COLOR_BLACK) and 0xC0C0C0 (COLOR_WHITE)
  now.
* You can use `7EJ` to configure the default colors in color
  schemes or your profile.
  All existing color schemes had to disable default colors
  (`-1,-1,7EJ`) since they wouldn't look well otherwise.
* You may add `-1,7EJ` to ~/.teco_ini when using a terminal emulator
  with a washed-out palettized COLOR_BLACK.
  We cannot detect the terminal's default colors automatically.
* Scinterm updated to v6.0.
  We require a not-yet-upstreamed patch:
  https://github.com/orbitalquark/scinterm/pull/40
* In fact, we might decide not to support default colors at all in Scinterm,
  so this feature should be considered experimental.

<title>Curses: support arbitrary RGB colors</title>

<content type='text'>
* Instead of supporting only 16 predefined RGB placeholder
  values in Scintilla messages and styles, you can now use
  arbitrary RGB values and colors are allocated via the terminal
  on the fly.
  You no longer need to call 3EJ to change the default color
  palette.
* The placeholder RGB values are still available.
  Since you will usually want exact RGB values when using
  anything outside of the range of 16 default colors
  and the RGB placeholders will not always exactly correspond
  to their RGB value, you can now call `0,3EJ` to ignore
  the default palette and allocate all colors dynamically.
* Allows for more than 16 colors on the screen simultaneously.
  Also simplifies the solarized.tes color scheme.
  Since both Scinterm and SciTECO try not to touch the 16
  default colors, you also no longer have to deal with
  restoring the palette after program termination
  (which was never reliable anyway).
* Color schemes with non-default colors (solarized.tes)
  may now be broken on TERM=linux-16color (Linux VT)
  since Scinterm will get only 8 colors, but solarized.tes
  needs 16.

This is useful to launch from a terminal without "blocking" this terminal.
There are tools like nohup and daemonize (BSD) to do the same, but having it
builtin is shorter to write.

<title>fixup: renamed "backups" to "recovery files"</title>

* Other editors call "backup files" previous copies of saved files.
  This role would be served by savepoint files in SciTECO.
* Likewise filename~ would point to such a backup file.
  It therefore makes sense that savepoint files also end in tildes (.teco-n-filename~).
* Security copies of modified buffers would be called "auto-saves" (Emacs) or
  "swap files" (Vim).
  Both of these terms is IMHO misleading, so SciTECO now uses the
  term "recovery file".
* "Recovery files" are now named #filename# just like in Emacs.
