Short: Term 3.4 Update (68000 version)
Author: Olaf Barthel <olsen@sourcery.han.de>
Uploader: Stefan Becker <stefanb@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>
Notes on v3.4 (25.7.93)
-----------------------
This is an intermediate release which fixes a prominent bug in the
plain 68000 program version: the program structure was damaged, so
trying to run it from shell would produce error #235 (bad loadfile
hunk). Only the plain 68000 version was affected, so I changed a few
(well, actually quite a lot) pc-relative references to static data and
recompiled the program. Since I couldn't resist the temptation, I also
took care of some last-minute features which did not seem to work
properly and also rebuilt the 68020+ version. The changes include:
- The minimum serial read quantum was lowered to 16 bytes.
- The program will no longer load program settings files as phonebook
files.
- The review buffer window now supports cut & paste again, please note
that the changes forced the old keyboard handling routines back in.
The Control and Alt keys and the function keys no longer work as
they did before.
- The ARexx interface command `WAIT' now finds multiple occurences of
several search patterns in a single line. Previous releases used to
find only the first occurence and would discard the rest.
- The quick dial menu would refuse to enter entries into the dialing
list if they were already present in it. Originally, I had intended
the quick dial functions to clear a present dialing list before
adding any entries.
- A user requested that the "AT&T 513" terminal command "<CSI>nG"
would be added which was easily done.
- The pen sharing support routines available when running under
control of Kickstart 3.0 used to release the wrong pens.
If you don't trust this special release, just drop me a line:
