Re: Release out mc-4.7.0

[Miguel de Icaza <miguel novell com>]

Hello,

    I did not install this update, but the previous version remapped Control-T to be some sort of selector for encodings, and it used to be tag-current-file.

    Tag current file is necessary for older terminals, and it is also the binding used for other terminal applications.

Miguel.
