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.
