Subject: Announcing C-Kermit 7.1 - First Alpha Test
Date: 9 Dec 2000 15:35:06 GMT
Organization: Columbia University
Message-ID: <90tjfa$p88$1@newsmaster.cc.columbia.edu>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
A new release of C-Kermit is now available in Alpha-test form, intended
mainly for testing by experienced Kermit users and builders.
The first Alpha test, C-Kermit 7.1.199 Alpha.01, includes the following
new features:
. Built-In FTP Client: A new FTP client with all all the flexibility,
power, and ease of use of the Kermit command and scripting language,
plus security, character-set translation, recovery, update, directory
tree transfer, atomic file movement, lots more.
. Security: The SSL/TLS security method can now use not only X.509
certificates but also Kerberos 5 credentials. ZLIB compression has
been added to SSL/TLS for improved peformance. Security modules are
more widely available of due to relaxation in USA export laws.
. Dialing from Telnet Access Servers: RFC 2217, Telnet Com Port Control.
. Automatic Text/Binary Mode Switching: This is now done by file scanning,
which is more reliable than the previous filename-based method.
. Idle Timeouts to prevent being logged off during a CONNECT session
because you didn't type anything for a long time.
. Learned scripts (automatic script writing).
. LISP-like S-Expressions (primarily for arithmetic).
. Better handling of file and directory names that contain spaces.
. Bug fixes and performance improvements.
A subsequent Alpha test will add SSH v1 and v2 security.
