-
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.6:
-
- * Cursor position updates were lost when in extended character (box-painting) mode.
- Position updates properly now.
- * Client wasn't sending proper terminal identifer to those remote hosts that were asking
- for it.
- * Client wasn't responding to "Get Cursor Position" requests from remote host.
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.6:
-
- * New FileSeek function added to scripting. See scripting help for details and example.
- * Any text coming across a connection will now cause the screen to update properly if
- you're scrolled back.
- * New button added to toolbar and menu item added to 'File' menu and to popup menu on
- active connections to 'Reconnect'. This option will force a reconnect to that
- connection. If the connection is closed, it reopens. If the connection is open, it
- closes, then reopens.
- * Additional button added to toolbar and menu item added to connection popup menu to
- 'detach' a connection into a separate window. Hopefully this will be useful for those
- times when you need to look at two connections side by side. You can't do anything
- special in the detached connection except copy and paste text, and reattach to the
- tabbed system. There is a 'reattach' option on the connection popup in the detached
- window.
- * Keyboard remapping now supports the numeric keypad.
-
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.5:
-
- * The 'Log to File' menu option works properly now (formerly ALWAYS turned logging on,
- now is a toggle between on/off)
- * Application faults when exiting program with more than one open connection are gone
- * Terminal window scrolling was not always proper (specifically in programs like 'more',
- 'pg', or 'less'
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.5:
-
- * Now supports passthrough printing with standard VT escape sequences \e[5i and \e[4i
- * FTP client now supports both ASCII and binary transfers
- * New checkbox in connection editor 'Send window size' sends size of connection
- (like 25x80) to remote host. Programs like vi and elm will now use the full screen
- in 132x50 mode is this option is checked. This will NOT work with Linux connections.
- Linux connections stop working when this option is selected.
- * Addition of GetScreenText function to scripting (see scripting help)
-
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.4:
-
- * Access violations when exiting the event managers are fixed
- * Defining new keylists saves information properly
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.4:
-
- * Procedures 'StartFileLog' and 'StopFileLog' are added to the scripting
-
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.3:
-
- * 'Send break' and 'Send reset' buttons/menu items were not really sending the break and
- reset sequences
- * Exiting an editor which resized the screen (like vi) left the screen resized to the
- editor's window. This caused the potential for what I call 'orphan' lines at the bottom
- of the screen which can only be erased via a screen clear.
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.3:
-
- * A link to the J-Term Pro news page is put on the help menu.
-
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.2:
-
- * Application fault if you type before a connection is connected. Keystrokes are now
- ignored until a connection is fully made.
- * Help file referred to 'GetUserPass' as a procedure, when it's really a function.
- * Added help for SetTimer and ClearTimer routines.
- * Menus created with the Add-in Manager would sometimes 'go away' when the J-Term Pro
- main window lost focus.
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.2:
-
- * Added new procedure to scripting language to help when network errors occur (i.e.
- couldn't connect to a host). Format of call is:
- procedure OnNetworkError(PageNo:Integer; ScriptToRun:String);
- * Added buttons to script editors in Event Manager and Add-in Manager to allow importing
- of scripts from files.
- * Added cut, copy, and paste buttons to Add-in Manager script editor.
-
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Bug fixes in 1.0.1:
-
- * Certain keys did not work in the initial emulation screens, because they were
- overlooked in generating the key-mappings
- * In the FTP client, directories on the remote host with all-uppercase names were
- auto-converted to having the first letter upper, and the rest lower. Directories with
- combinations of upper- and lower-case names were not affected.
- * Double-clicking on the local file list in the FTP client when there were no files
- available yielded an error.
- * Copying/pasting only did up to 25x80 characters at a time.
- * Occasionally, the FTP client would lock up if you tried to upload to a remote
- directory where you did not have permission.
- * Under certain circumstances, it was possible to create two copies of the same
- connection in the 'Quick connect' dialog.
- * Sometimes file downloads in the FTP client (particularly very large or very small
- files) caused it to lock up.
-
- Enhancements in 1.0.1:
-
- * At a user's request, I added two new functions to the scripting language. The first is
- used to set a timer to run a script after a specified number of seconds has elapsed.
- The format for this procedure is:
- procedure SetTimer(NumSecs:LongInt; ScriptName:String);
- * The second procedure is used to stop the timer, if you should ever need to. It's format
- is:
- procedure ClearTimer;
- * Error messages in the FTP client are more self-explanatory now.
- * The FTP client is now a standalone application, so you can telnet and FTP at the same
- time, should you desire.
