- BinkleyTerm-ST 2.40 Update notes
- --------------------------------
-
- Changes made between 2.40d and 2.40e:
-
- 1. It has been recompiled with a new version of Lattice C5. Some bugs that
- this has corrected include:
- - Date and Time of compilation as reported by pressing Alt-V in
- Terminal mode is now correct.
- - Problem with opening new files, which I kludged for 2.40d is now
- fixed, so Kludges have been removed.
- It may have fixed a few other things that went un-noticed. Its probably
- slightly faster and smaller.
-
- I also recompiled without precompiled headers which may have been
- causing a few un-noticed problems due to some #define's.
-
- Also all "#ifdef... #elif... #endif" constructs have been replaced with
- "#if defined()... #elif... #endif" to aid in portability.
-
- 2. A Janus error message has been put into the recent event window where it
- belongs instead of the transfer window messing up the screen.
-
- 3. Some minor modifications have been made to some of the Janus code. I'm
- not sure if this has had any effect or not.
-
- 4. Stopped it from bombing if BANNER is not defined in binkley.cfg.
-
- 5. Added Enno Borgsteede's modification for being in more than point
- network.
-
- 6. Compiled with full ANSI error checking and removed all except about 4
- warnings. I'm not sure this will have any effect, but you never know.
-
-
- Known Bugs and bad features
- ---------------------------
-
- A lot of people are reporting problems with HST modems and negotiation
- filter messages.
-
- Some people are reporting problems with RTS/CTS flow control.
-
- The time and CPS rating for file transfers is often wrong. This could be
- related to RTS/CTS/interrupt problems.
-
- There may be a problem with using errorlevels, lockbaud and connect rates.
-
- Colour's don't work with software blitters which bypass the line-A
- routines. Also colour's are not restored at all points. Basically the
- video fossil emulator needs a complete overhaul.

- Please report all bugs and suggestions to me with as much essential
- information as possible including what version TOS you have and any AUTO
- and ACC programs you have installed. Bugs should preferably be
- reproducable rather than an "it sometimes bombs if I stand on one leg while
- listening to Kylie Minogue and eating a banana!". If neccessary send any
- configuration and log files. Also !!!!READ THE DOCUMENTATION!!!!
