Sorry for the top posting, but this is one of the cases there
I think it applies.

I also noticed this change. I use bash, so this is not exclusive to
tcsh.

I had to add "stty erase ^?" on my .profile to solve this one.

On the other hand, this MIGHT be the correct behaviour. When
using the console on older version, we would already have ^?.
When on xterm, we would get ^H. At least now the behaviour is
consistent.


The correct behaviour for the backspace key is to send the BS character, 0x08 aka ^H.

^? I suspect is the DEL character, 0x7f, which is unprintable (or prints as a space). I would expect the Delete key to produce a DEL character.
