Wow!  You have a very old version of software!  The XView prefixes were
changed from vu_ to xv_ in the middle of the beta process before 1.0 FCS
shipped.  So, you're comparing XView 1.0 early beta to XView 1.0.1 FCS.

As far as XView is concerned, there are no plans to change the prefixes 
from xv_.

I'm not sure what you mean by "R4 also more escape functions into Xlib".
Please elaborate.
