- New for 1.3:
-
- Fixed an obscure bug that was causing niftyterm to fail with some serial
- devices whose write operations are not atomic.
-
- Fixed a command line argument parsing bug (the -d switch was not always parsed
- properly before).
-
- Added -stay switch to keep niftyterm from automatically detaching from the CLI
- (note that this can't ever have an associated preference).
-
- The -7 switch and niftyterm.pass8 preference now work as I intended.
-
- Added two new switches for serial device users: -B baudrate and -P parity. See
- the docs for usage. I had to add these since the preferences setting didn't
- always seem to work properly, especially if the serial.device had already been
- loaded. The associated preferences are niftyterm.baudrate and
- niftyterm.parity.
-
- Added -N net# switch for dnet users who want to have more than one dnet session
- going at a time.
-
- As of this version, the keypad keys send the right codes in all modes
- (including the PF keys). The cursor keys also work properly in all modes.
-
- Fixed a small bug in the "soft reset" menu option, where it was not completely
- resetting the internal state with respect to alternate fonts.
-
- New for 1.2:
-
- Niftyterm had a memory leak that was causing it to lose 56 bytes on every
- keystroke (the disadvantages of having a 7 meg system). It turns out that 56
- bytes is the size of an IntuiMessage structure. I wasn't replying to Intuition
- key up events, hence they were never getting deallocated until the window was
- closed.
-
- New for 1.1:
-
- New switch -v starts up niftyterm with inverse video (also: preference
- niftyterm.inverse)
-
- The default behavior for niftyterm version 1.0 was to strip off the 8th bit of
- incoming characters. The default has been changed so that all 8 bits are used
- (allowing characters >127 from the character set to be displayed). This
- default can be overriden by the -7 command line switch, or the niftyterm.pass8
- preference.
-
- Several major bugs were fixed that were casing niftyterm not to work on some
- system configurations. Memwatch reported that niftyterm was stomping on low
- memory. These bugs have been fixed. If there are any further problems, please
- notify me.
