Nothing spectacular, pretty much just a year's worth of accumulated
bug fixes plus a couple minor feature additions, and support for a few
new platorms, most notably VMS 8.1 on IA64, FreeBSD 5.1, Mac OS X 10.3.
The new features are:
. INPUT /NOMATCH <timeout>
(waits for the entire interval without trying to match anything;
useful for scripted logging).
. SET INPUT SCALE-FACTOR (lets you scale INPUT timeouts).
. FREAD /TRIM and FREAD /UNTABIFY.
. ASK[Q] and GETOK /DEFAULT:text (lets you supply default answer).
. \funtabify(string).
. ON_CD macro (if you define one, it executes automatically whenever
you tell Kermit to change directories).
Since there has been no major surgery, this should be a pretty stable
release. I deferred any changes that could wreck stability until after
getting this one out. These might include:
. Support for file sizes greater than 2GB.
. Support timeouts on the FTP data connection and an option for
syslogging of FTP data transfers.
. IPv6.
The new version is accessible from the website:
