Version 1.10.021 (Final Release)

Merged initial enhancements for TN5250E to terminal and printer programs.

Allow a recording log file to open when not yet connected.

Added support for the Enterprise product bundle.

Version 1.10.020 (Final Release)

Moved the print buffer management out of the view into its own module while fixing a bug that created an exception every time the “print screen to buffer” operation was invoked, then enabled the functionality that was disabled in build 019 because of the crash.

Fixed radio buttons in the Session Manager / Connect dialog that did not clear to only a single selected button and added the screen row/column sizes to the TN3270 “Model #” button text.

Added support for preferred font stored in product directory.

Version 1.10.019 (Final Release)

Worked around bug in multiple print screen buffering to single printed page that was causing successive print output to start a screens worth of lines lower on each printed sheet, the buffering logic is still non-functional.  Fixed failure to save “local echo in NVT” setting by adding it to the global settings save.  Added a startup script file to the session settings, the script is run after connecting to the host if both settings are specified.

Version 1.10.018 (Final Release)

Fixed a problem that locked up the program when replaying PINNACLE.LOG.  The problem was caused by the host requesting an invalid cursor address (24,0) when the limits are actually (23,79).  The program would enter an infinite loop in the RepeatToAddress case in Tn3270HostInput function because IncCurrentColumn would wrap at (23,79) to (0, 0).

Version 1.10.017 (Final Release)

Incorporated latest TN3270E fixes from Nexus Integration. Also fixed Extended Mode flag in Connect dialog so that when enabled, the emulator does TN3270E emulation and when it is disabled, the emulator just does TN3270 emulation.  Fixed Windows 2000 “Failed to Load Document” crash when compiling on Service Pack 2 of VC++ which is different from the fix done in Build 016.

Version 1.10.016 (Final Release)

Fixed attribute problem for underlined text.  It is no longer underlined and reversed.  Changed default color map to match Hummingbird’s Host Explorer.  Removed remaining keyboard locks in hopes of fixing a problem for Mattel.  Fixed Windows 2000 “Failed to Load Document” crash.

Version 1.10.015 (Final Release)

Created Minisoft product split including Minisoft for IBM, MS3270 and MS5250.  Modified connect dialog to only display the TN3270 or TN5250 tab or both as is appropriate for each product.

 

Version 1.10.014 (Final Release)

Changed keyboard mapper to allow programming of the Control Keys.

Fixed Host Printer with some problems it had with the new TN3270E implementation.

Changed implementation for the ATTN and SYS REQ keys.  In earlier implementations the ATTN and SYS REQ commands to the host would lock the keyboard and display the progress bar in the status bar indicating that the emulator is waiting on the host.  Changed this functionality to simply send the command and resume normal operation.

Version 1.10.013 (Beta 2 Release)

Integrated TN3270E code from Nexus.  This change makes the 3270 emulation a complete TN3270E implementation.

Build 012 contained toolbar mapping problems.  Fixed in this release.

Version 1.10.012 (Beta 1 Release)

Integrated TN5250 code from Nexus.  Added keyboard support for the 5250 specific keys.  Added append to clipboard functionality through the Edit-Append menu command.

Version 1.00.010 (Final Release)

Fixed problem with keyboard mapping.  Build 009 and previous has Attention mapped to Shift-Print Screen and System Request was mapped to Print Screen.  Windows does not pass these keystrokes to the application.  The keys are now mapped to Control-F1 and Control-F2 respectively.

Added install code to display the NetServ.Doc file during installation to a network server.

Version 1.00.009 (Final Release)

Fixed problem with starting a new session from the session manager while the current session is connecting.  Before the fix was applied, the program would not launch a new instance while connecting.  Changed the functionality to launch a new instance if the current instance is connecting but not yet connected.

Deleted the “Custom” build type from the installation.  Now there are only two installation types, Typical which installs everything and Compact which does not include the IP Utilities.

Fixed problem with network installation.  The network server installation was not installing NetServ.txt and NetServ.doc.  Changed the install batch builder to correspond to the InstallShield folder.

Version 1.00.008 (Release Candidate 2)

Fixed new sessions configurations to enable default toolbar mappings for CLEAR, PA1, PA2, PF1, PF3, PF7 and PF8.

Removed accelerator key shortcuts that no longer work due to new key mapper.

New help file with proofing complete.

Cleaned up icons for Host Printer application.

Version 1.00.007 (Release Candidate 1)

Renamed [Product Name] Host Print to Host Printer to make the program OEM independent.

New help file added with more complete help.  Proofing not complete.

 

Version 1.00.006 (Release Candidate 0)

Include final help file.

Added code to support SetFileLocal variable in .INI file for network server installations.

Added support for graying out setup options when the session file is read-only.

Changed keyboard input so that it would not lock the keyboard when an invalid character was typed in a protected field.  Current functionality just beeps and keeps keyboard unlocked.

Changed Session Connect dialog so that the dialog will remain visible during a disconnect so a new connection can be defined.  Removed reconnect functionality.

Added Log Record/Replay functionality to capture all binary incoming data from the host for later replay.  Largely a debugging feature.

Version 1.00.005 (Beta 3)

Replaced key mapping dialog with visual key mapper.

Fixed connection bug where program would not complete host connection during first time connections and auto-connections.

Fixed bug in HostPrint application that made the application appear to hang after connecting to a host that did not support host printing.
