Package: joe
Version: 3.5-1.1
Severity: important

It used to be possible to enter control chars and other chars of arbitrary
value by entering ` first. You would get a prompt at the bottom of the
screen:

  Ctrl- (or 0-9 for dec. ascii, x for hex, or o for octal)

This no longer works in the present version (although the man page still
says it should). While this does not make the package completely unusable,
it removes a feature which I like very much and use quite often. So I think
this is important. My present remedy is to downgrade.

Regards, Jan
