  2. New Chat-Line input mode. You can select "Chat Line" from "View" menu to show or hide the chat line input box. With chat line, you can input more efficiently especially with a slow link. Your input will stay on local buffer until you press <ENTER> key.

  3. New 132 column font support. You are able to specify a different font for 132 column mode. To enable the different font, uncheck the "Same as 80 Cols" option in "Display" tab of "KoalaTerm Settings" dialog.
