<h1>Changes in x3270, c3270, wc3270, s3270, tcl3270, pr3287 and wpr3287 3.3</h1>
3.3 is the current development line for the x3270 suite.
<h2>Changes in version 3.3.9ga12, 25. March 2009</h2>
<ul>
<li>[<i>x3270</i> and <i>c3270</i>] Re-enable the <b>ibm_hosts</b> file
(it was accidentally being ignored).</li>
<li>[all but <i>wc3270</i>] Don't crash when there is no <i>iconv</i>
translation for the locale codeset.</li>
<li>[all but <i>x3270</i>] Fixed a build failure in glue.c when DBCS was
disabled.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Corrected the default keymap so that the uppercase
versions of the <b>Alt</b> mapping also work.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Corrected the documentation of the
<b>printTextFont</b> and <b>printTextSize</b> resources.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Corrected a number of errors in parsing
<b>CursesColorFor<i>xxx</i></b> resources.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Added support for <b>-rv</b>, which puts c3270 into
black-on-white mode.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Added support for 16-color terminals, with the
<b>-color8</b> option overriding this and forcing 8-color support only.
On a 16-color terminal, <b>-allbold</b> is no longer the default.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>, <i>wc3270</i>, <i>s3270</i> and <i>tcl3270</i>] Ensured
that command-line parameters override session files.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Made session files replace profiles, rather than just
overridding any common definitions. This is more intuitive and consistent
with x3270.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in version 3.3.9ga11, 27. February 2009</h2>
<h3>Common Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Improved hostname parsing. Now backslashes can be used to quote
any character, and square brackets can be used to quote any element (LU name,
host name, or port).</li>
<li>Fixed a number of compiler warnings from newer versions of gcc and a
number of small memory leaks.</li>
<li>Overhauled the host code pages and CGCSGIDs for DBCS. Added
<b>sbcsCgcsgid</b> and <b>dbcsCgcsgid</b> resources to override the
compiled-in values.</li>
<li>Added a <b>caption <i>text</i></b> option to the <b>PrintText</b>
action, which will place the specified caption above the screen image.
Within the text, the string <tt>%T%</tt> is interpolated to a timestamp.</li>
<li>Improved the state dump when tracing starts to include NVT and
SSCP-LU state and the SNA BIND image.</li>
<li>Updated the copyright and licensing notices (now a standard BSD
license).</li>
<li>Added support for carriage-return (0x0d) characters in the
<b>String</b> action, which imply the <b>Newline</b> action.</li>
<li>Changed the <b>Attn</b> action so that it sends an IAC
BREAK in TN3270 mode, and locks the keyboard in TN3270E mode when the
session is not SNA bound.</i>
<li>Added Traditional Chinese (host code page 937) support.</li>
<li>Extended the <b>String</b> action's <b>\e</b> and <b>\x</b> sequences
to accept 4-digit hex values, thus allowing EBCDIC DBCS input and arbitrary
Unicode input. Also added <b>\u</b> as an alias for <b>\x</b>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to x3270</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed a crash when pasting an empty selection.</li>
<li>Made the Query Reply response for <b>x3270</b> identical to the other
tools.</li>
<li>Included fonts for Traditional Chinese.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to x3270 and c3270</h3>
<ul>
<li>Removed the nested copy of <b>pr3287</b>.
from the source. <b>pr3287</b> must now be built separately from its own
package.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to wc3270</h3>
<ul>
<li>Corrected a problem with color mapping in the OIA.</li>
<li>Changed the <i>New Session Wizard</i> to the <i>Session
Wizard</i> and gave it the ability to edit existing session files and
re-create missing session files. Note that this ability is limited to
session files created with 3.3.9beta10 or later.</li>
<li>Added a <b>wc3270.printer.codepage</b> resource to set
the Windows code page for the associated <b>pr3287</b> printer session.
<li>Simplified the operation of the New Session Wizard,
so it asks fewer questions.</li>
<li>Added a pager to interactive mode.</li>
<li>Made the <b>PrintText</b> font and point size
configurable via the <b>printTextFont</b> and <b>printTextSize</b>
resources.</li>
<li>Changed the default 'blue' color for created shortcuts
to a somewhat lighter shade, to make it more readable.</li>
<li>Changed the <i>Session Wizard</i> to specify the code page
and proper font when creating shortcuts for DBCS sessions. This should
allow DBCS to work on Windows 2000 and Vista.</li>
<li>Included <b>ws3270</b> in the <b>wc3270</b> release.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to c3270 and wc3270</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added feedback for the progress of file transfers.</li>
<li> Implemented the <b>Info</b> action,

<li>Added automatic reconnect, via the
</b>-reconnect</b> command-line option and the <b>reconnect</b> resource.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to ws3270 (formerly available as a pre-release)</h3>
<ul>

<li>Added DBCS support.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes to specific versions</h3>
<ul>
<li>[<b>c3270</b>, <b>s3270</b>, <b>s3270</b>, <b>ws3270</b> and <b>x3270</b>] Added support for session files.</li>
<li>[All except <b>wc3270</b> and <b>ws3270</b>] Extended the <b>rtf</b>
option of the <b>PrintText</b> to non-Windows platforms.</li>
<li>[All except <b>x3270</b>] Fixed a number of issues with <b>-xrm</b>
option processing and keymap display when backslash sequences were used.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in version 3.3.8p2, 13 December 2008</h2>
<ul>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Corrected the handling of 8-bit and DBCS characters in
the <b>PrintText</b> action.</li>
<li>[<i>tcl3270</i>] Extended <tt>configure</tt> to find the <b>Tcl</b>
library version automatically.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Corrected a problem which caused mouse clicks not to be
recognized (not moving the cursor) if <b>NumLock</b> was set.</li>
<li>[<i>all</i>] Corrected the <tt>configure</tt> script to recognize
a separately-installed <b>iconv</b> library even if the <i>iconv()</i>
function is defined in <b>libc</b>.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Restored the bell sound, and added a <b>visualBell</b>
resource to disable it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in version 3.3.8p1, 20 October 2008</h2>
<ul>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Restored the <b>Ctrl-]</b> mapping for the
<b>Escape</b> action, which had been inadvertently removed.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] <b>wc3270</b> now starts successfully on Windows
Vista.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] On platforms that require the <b>iconv</b> library,

<li>[<i>x3270</i>] The module <tt>keysym2ucs.c</tt> now builds on
FreeBSD.</li>
<li>[<i>x3270</i>] Selections now work properly on platforms that do not
support <tt>XA_UTF8_STRING</tt>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in version 3.3.8, 11 October 2008</h2>
Version 3.3.8 includes a significant internal change, using Unicode for all
translations between the host and the local workstation.
This change should be
transparent, but users who depended on certain behaviors of the old
implementation may see unexpected differences.
<h3>Common Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Many more EBCDIC characters, such as Graphics Escape line-drawing and APL
characters, are now properly displayed (even without special 3270 fonts),
traced, cut/pasted with other applications, and returned by scripting actions
like <b>Ascii</b>.
<li>With two exceptions, the locale's encoding is now observed consistently
when reading keymaps, generating trace files, etc.
The exceptions are:
<ul>
<li><b>tcl3270</b> always uses UTF-8, per the internal Tcl convention.</li>
<li>Because Cygwin doesn't really support locales, the Windows ANSI code
page is used as the local encoding instead.</li>
<li>Stateful encodings such as ISO 2022 are untested and very likely do
not work.</li>
</ul>
<li>The ICU library is no longer used, and ICU <b>.cnv</b> files are no longer
included with the code.</li>
<li>Translation to/from the local encoding requires one of two facilities:
Either <b>libc</b> must support <tt>__STDC_ISO_10646__</tt> (<b>wchar_t</b>s
are defined to be unicode values, as on Linux and Windows), or there must be
an <b>iconv</b> library that can translate between UTF-8 and all local
encodings.</li>
<li>DBCS support is enabled by default, except on Windows.
It can be explicitly
disabled in the <b>configure</b> script to reduce the size of the
executable (removing several large translation tables).</li>
<li>The <b>-v</b>/<b>--verbose</b> option has been added to display build and
copyright information.</li>
<li>The Thai host code page has changed from 838 to 1160.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes Common to the 3270 Terminal Emulators</h3>
<ul>
<li>The <b>Key</b> action now accepts Unicode arguments in the form
<b>U+<i>nnnn</i></b>, removing possible ambiguity from translating from the
<li>Added a <b>Source</b> action to read script commands from a file.</li>
<li> Added a 10 second timeout to the start of the <b>Transfer</b> action.</li>
<li>Added an <b>unlockDelayMs</b> resource to change the number of
milliseconds of delay before atually unlocking the keyboard after the
host requests it. The default is 350; use 0 to disable the delay
altogether.</li>
<li>IND$FILE file transfer now transfers DBCS text files properly.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes Common to 3287 Printer Emulators</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added direct support for all <b>x3270</b> host character sets via the
<b>-charset</b> option.
<li>Added <b>-trnpre</b> and <b>-trnpost</b> options to specify files
containing transparent data to send to the printer before and after
each print job, respectively.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Product-Speific Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>[<i>x3270</i>] Commands entered into the <b>Print Screen Text</b> dialog
are now saved by the <b>Save Changed Options in File</b> option.
<li>[<i>x3270</i>] Fixed some bad interactions between the pop-up keypad and
the GNOME window manager.</li>
<li>[<i>x3270</i>] The Euro fonts have been folded into the standard
fonts.</li>
<li>[<i>x3270</i>] The font menu is now arranged hierarchically by
foundry and family.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Added an <b>underscore</b> toggle to allow underlined
fields to be displayed even on consoles with no native underlining
support, by substituting underscore '_' characters for blanks and nulls
in underlined fields.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Overhauled <b>Meta</b> and <b>Alt</b> key support.
Removed support for the archaic <b>Meta</b> modifier in keymaps (it was an
alias for setting bit 0x80 in each key). Replaced it with an <b>Alt</b>
modifier, which matches the <b>ESC</b> sequence sent for the <b>Alt</b> key
by many terminals, and which can be combined with full 8-bit input
characters.<li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Changed the interpretation of keymaps so that keys and
symbols are matched in Unicode. That is, keymap text is converted from the
current locale's encoding to Unicode before matching, and input character
codes are converted to Unicode before matching. This eliminates the
difficulty in creating keymaps and interpreting traces in non-Latin-1
locales -- needing to translate from the accidental interpretation of
8-bit values as Latin-1 when they are not -- but with the side-effect
of rendering some carefully-crafted existing keymaps invalid. Keymaps
can also be written using Unicode <b>U+<i>nnnn</i></b> notation.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Changed the <b>metaEscape</b> resource so that <b>auto</b>
means <b>on</b>, instead of using the terminfo <b>km</b> resource.</li>
<li>[<i>c3270</i>] Added an <b>acs</b> resource to control the use of curses
ACS codes.
If <b>c3270.acs</b> is set to <b>true</b> (the default), <b>c3270</b>
will use curses ACS codes for line-drawing characters. If set to
<b>false</b>, it will display line-drawing characters with Unicode.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Added an <b>underscore</b> toggle to control how
underlined and blinking fields are displayed. If it is set (the default),
underlined fields are displayed by substituting underscore (_)
characters for blanks and nulls, and blinking fields actually blink.
If it is clear, underlined and blinking fields are displayed with
highlighted backgrounds, which is compatible with previous verions of
<b>wc3270</b>.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Left-clicking with the mouse will now move the cursor
to that location.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The <b>PrintText</b> action now works, and is mapped by
default to the sequence <b>Alt <Key>p</b>.
The <b>printer.name</b> resource defines the default printer to use.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The <b>PrintText</b> action can now be used to produce
a RichText snapshot of the screen contents, via the <b>rtf</b> keyword.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The program longer attempts to set the console code page,
which was error-prone and unnecessary.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The <i>idle command</i> feature now works, controlled
by the <b>idleCommand</b>, <b>idleCommandEnabled</b> and <b>idleTimeout</b>
resources.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The program no longer attempts to set the console code
page, which could lead to hangs on Vista.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] The installation now creates a program group item to
explore the <b>wc3270</b> Application Data directory.</li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] Corrected a problem with console color overrides, which
prevented reverse-video mode (white background) from working properly.
For now, the recommended method for enabling reverse video mode is to add
these lines to your session file:
<pre>
wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor0: 15
wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor7: 0</pre></li>
<li>[<i>wc3270</i>] <b>wc3270</b> now builds with the Microsoft tools.
The file <tt>Msc/Makefile</tt> is a makefile for <b>nmake</b>.</li>
<li>[<i>tcl3270</i>] Added a <b>commandTimeout</b> resource to force any
<b>Tcl3270</b> command to time out after the specified number of seconds.
(Thanks to Mark Young.)</li>
<li>[<i>tcl3270</i>] Fixed a per-command memory leak. (Thanks to Mark
Young.)</li>
<li>[<i>wpr3287</i>] Added a <b>-printercp</b> option to specify a particular
code page for printer output.</li>
<li>[<i>wpr3287</i>] <b>wpr3287</b> now builds with the Microsoft tools.
The file <tt>Msc/Makefile</tt> is a makefile for <b>nmake</b>.</li>

host color number (0 through 15), and the value of the resource is a
curses color number (0 through 7).
<br>In addition, the field-attribute-based colors used when the host
does not specify a particular color can be changed via the following
resources:
<pre>
c3270.cursesColorForDefault
c3270.cursesColorForIntensified
c3270.cursesColorForProtected
c3270.cursesColorForProtectedIntensified
</pre>
The value for each of these is a curses color number (0 through 7).</li>

shares its name (but not its functionality) with a computer surveillance
application.</li>
<li>Corrected several issues with key event processing and the default
keymap.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in wc3270 3.3.7p3, 22. February 2008</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Changed the New Session Wizard to create the Application Data
directory, so <b>wc3270</b> can be run by any user, not just the one
that installed it.</li>

starting.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in wc3270 3.3.7, 25. December 2007</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Fixed line-drawing characters.</li>
<li>Enabled IPv6 support for Windows XP and later.</li>
<li>Set the input code page correctly, so that keyboard input works
correctly when there is a mismatch between the default Windows code
page and the code page implied by the wc3270 character set option.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added limited support for Windows 98. wc3270 will install and run on
Windows 98, but internationalization support is limited -- the only
supported host code page is 37, and the only supported Windows code
page is 437. This is expected to improve in the future.</li>
<li>Added a <b>wc3270.highlightUnderline</b> resource to control
highlighting of underlined and blinking text. (Set to <b>false</b> to
disable background highlighting.)</li>
<li>Moved session files, keymaps and trace files to the Application
Data directory. (<b>wc3270</b> will still look in its installation
directory for session files and keymaps, after first searching the
Application Data directory.)
This makes <b>wc3270</b> a better Windows citizen in general, and a
better Vista citizen in particular.</li>
<li>Added support for changing the color mappings. The console color
for a given host color can be specified with the resource
<b>wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor<i>n</i></b>, where <i>n</i> is a
host color number (0 through 15), and the value of the resource is a
console color number (0 through 15).
<br>In addition, the
field-attribute-based colors used when the host does not specify a
particular color can be changed via the following resources:
<pre>
wc3270.hostColorForDefault
wc3270.hostColorForIntensified
wc3270.hostColorForProtected
wc3270.hostColorForProtectedIntensified
</pre>
The value for each of these is a host color number; the actual color
displayed is defined by the corresponding
<b>wc3270.consoleColorForHostColor<i>n</i></b>
resource.</li>
<li>Added a new <b>cp1153</b> character set.
It implements host code page 1153 and uses Windows code page 1250,
used primarily in Central Europe.</li>
<li>Added display of the Windows code page to the character set
screen in the New Session Wizard.</li>
<li>Added display of the host and Windows code pages to the <b>show
status</b> command.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>(none)</li>
</ul>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added UTF-8 support. If the current locale specifies UTF-8 encoding,
then all text output (trace data, screen snapshots, the <b>Ascii</b>
and <b>ReadBuffer(Ascii)</b> actions, etc.) will be UTF-8 encoded, and
all text input (arguments to the <b>Key</b> and <b>String</b> actions,
etc.) must be UTF-8 encoded.
In addition, the NVT-mode xterm/VT100 emulator will expect UTF-8.
<p><b>NOTE</b>: If you were were previously running <b>s3270</b> in a
UTF-8 locale, <i>this is an incompatible change</i>.
To ensure the previous behavior, set your locale to <b>C</b> before
starting <b>s3270</b>.

<h2>Changes in pr3287 3.3.7p8, 28. August 2008</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Fixed the interpretation of SCS CR characters.<\li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in pr3287 3.3.7, 25. December 2007</h2>
<ul>
<li>Enhancements:
<ul>
<li>Added proxy support via the <b>-proxy</b> option.</li>

<h2>Changes in wpr3287 3.3.7, 25. December 2007</h2>
(none)
<h2>Changes in x3270 3.3.6, 23. June 2007</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:</li>
<ul>
<li>Fixed the <b>highlighted</b> attribute for individual regions of the
screen (versus the <b>highlighted</b> field attribute); it had been
accidentally disabled.</li>
</ul>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added support for IBM Code Page 1047 (<b>-charset cp1047</b>).</li>
<li>Added proxy support via the <b>-proxy</b> option or the <b>proxy</b>
resource.</li>
<li>Modified <i>Blank Fill</i> mode to treat trailing underscore
chararacters ('<b>_</b>') like blanks when checking for input
overflow.</li>
<li><i>Pseudo-Color</i> mode is no more.
This was the mode that x3270 used when a 3278 model was specified, or
if the <b>m3279</b> resource were set to <b>False</b>.
Pseudo-Color assigned colors to regions of the screen based on
intensity and light-pen selectability, and did not support 3279 colors.
Now turning off color or selecting a 3278 results in something that
looks like a 3278 (i.e., it's green).
To resurrect Pseudo-Color mode, set the following resources:
<preformat>
<br> x3270.inputColor: orange<br>
x3270.boldColor: cyan
</preformat>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in c3270 3.3.6, 23. June 2007</h2>

<li>Got local process (<b>-e</b>) support to work again.</li>
<li>Fixed <b>-mono -allbold</b> mode.</li>
<li><b>c3270</b> now paints the entire screen, not just the areas it
intends to use, so there are no uninitialized regions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added support for IBM Code Page 1047 (<b>-charset cp1047</b>).</li>
<li>Added proxy support via the <b>-proxy</b> option or the <b>proxy</b>
resource.</li>
<li>Added support for the 3270 background color attribute.</li>
<li>Added more mappings to the 3270 default keymap (<b>IC</b> ->
<b>ToggleInsert</b>, <b>Ctrl<Key>U</b> -> <b>DeleteField</b>,
etc.).</li>
<li>Modified <i>Blank Fill</i> mode to treat trailing underscore
chararacters ('<b>_</b>') like blanks when checking for input
overflow.</li>
<li>Like <b>x3270</b> and <b>wc3270</b>, <b>-model 3278</b> now
specifies a green-screen 3278 (if the terminal supports color), and
like <b>x3270</b>, <b>-mono</b> specifies that any color capabilities
reported by the terminal should be ignored.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Changes in x3270 3.3.4, 10. April 2005</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>The code once again builds on Cygwin and other systems not supporting
IPv6.</li>
<li>The <b>-xrm</b> option works again in x3270.</li>
<li>The <b>-name</b> X Toolkit option works with x3270, though
not yet with app-defaults files.</li>
<li>Removed spurious 'no child' error messages from pr3287 on some
systems.</li>
<li>Removed unintended blank-line suppression from the output of
<b>PrintText html string</b>.</li>
<li>Restored some missing keymap definitions (<b>rlx</b>, <b>ow</b>)
and some missing lines from other keymap definitions (<b>apl</b>).</li>
<li>Restored the automatic keyboard unlock delay when processing a
macro or string. This allows macros and strings with embedded AID
sequences to work with hosts that unlock the keyboard before they
finish processing a command. Scripts are presumed to be able to
figure out when the host is finished, or can set the <b>unlockDelay</b>
resource to <b>true</b> get the delay all the time.</li>
<li>Fixed an apparent hang (actually just extreme slowness) when the
host sends a message larger than 4 Kbytes on an SSL tunnel.</li>
<li>Removed spurious 'Wait timed out' errors in the <b>Wait</b>
action.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<h2>Changes in x3270, c3270, s3270 and tcl3270 3.3.3beta2, 1. February 2005</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Reduced the Resident Set Size (RSS) of x3270 from about 40 MBytes to
less than 4 MBytes. This was a bug in how compiled-in app-defaults
files were generated.</li>
<li>Got separate app-defaults files (<b>configure --enable-app-defaults</b>)
to work again.</li>
<li>Fixed a crash when a login macro is used in NVT mode or when the
host un-negotiates TN3270E mode.</li>
<li>Fixed the titles of the Copyright and Configuration pop-ups.</li>
<li>Temporarily disabled the RPQNAMES Query Reply. It was causing IBM
QMF to crash. It can be re-enabled by adding <b>#define X3270_RPQNAMES
1</b> to <b>conf.h</b>. Hopefully a proper fix can be found shortly.
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Changes in x3270, c3270, s3270 and tcl3270 3.3.3beta1, 31. December 2004</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>The <b>Transfer()</b> action did not work at all -- it generated
(null) as the name of the <b>IND$FILE</b> command.
Also improved its behavior when invoked from a script or macro in
x3270 and c3270.</li>
<li>Corrected the definition of the <b>hebrew</b> (code page 424)
character set, removing undefined characters.</li>
<li>Corrected the display character set for the <b>brazilian</b> (code
page 275) character set.</li>
<li>Corrected the character set definition logic so that undefined
ASCII codes are truly undefined in NVT mode.</li>
<li>Corrected the <b>ibm_hosts</b> file (the <b>hostsFile</b> resource
or the <b>-hostsfile</b> option).
Variable and tilde substitution are now performed on the value, and if
a non-default value is specified and the file does not exist, an error
pop-up is generated.</li>
<li>Added a pause to make sure that c3270 start-up error messages will
be seen.</li>
<li>Got the c3270 default field colors right, and made all-bold mode
actually make all the fields bold.</li>
<li>Fixed the default primary/alternate screen size (it was alternate,
it's supposed to be primary).</li>
<li>Fixed c3270 color support with ncurses and 80/132 screen-size
switching.
Sometimes only one of the screen sizes had color.</li>
<li>Fixed a memory leak in pr3287 when the <b>-reconnect</b> option
is used. (<i>Thanks to Marcelo Lemos for the fix.</i>)</li>
<li>Fixed the output of NVT-mode ANSI line-drawing characters in the
<b>Ascii()</b> scripting action.
These were formerly all output as blanks; now they are output in
the same was as x3270 3.2.</li>
<li>Fixed the display of NVT-mode ANSI line-drawing characters when
x3270 is using a 3270 font.</li>
<li>Fixed the display of DBCS blanks, which sometimes displayed as
'undefined' characters.</li>
<li>Fixed DBCS character display with fonts whose maximum bounds are
larger than their reported line-spacing bounds.</li>
<li>Fixed <b>make depend</b>.</li>
<li>Fixed <b>x3270_glue.expect</b>, which got confused when there was
a whitespace-delimited double-quote in the emulator output.</li>
<li>Fixed crashes when the entire File or Options menus were suppressed.
</li>
<li>Fixed a scripting hang when an UNBIND command arrived while an AID
was pending.</li>
<li>Fixed a problem with the incomplete processing of a NULLing Program
Tab order, which could leave formatting artifacts on the screen.</li>
<li>Removed <subchar1> clauses in two of the <b>.ucm</b> files
that prevents later versions of ICU's <b>makeconv</b> from accepting
them, and removed DOS carriage-return characters from the CP837
<b>.ucm</b> file.</li>
<li>Corrected some DFT-mode file upload problems: corrected the data
length, and corrected an empty-buffer problem when the file size was
an even multiple of the buffer size.</li>
<li>Corrected a DBCS conversion problem with ICU 3.0.</li>
<li>Added variable buffer-size support to DFT file transfers.</li>
<li>Corrected a line-drawing character bug in c3270.</li>
<li>Fixed a buffer overflow problem in the <b>ReadBuffer</b> action.</li>
<li>Fixed garbage characters generated for APL data by the <b>Ascii</b>
and <b>ReadBuffer</b> actions.</li>
<li>Allow 0 timeouts in <b>Wait</b> actions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added command-line options to the pr3287 trace file.</li>
<li>Added support for <i>dead</i> keys (acute, grave, circumflex, tilde,
diaeresis) to the x3270 default keymap, and improved the Latin-1 compose
map. (<i>Thanks to Marcelo Lemos for the change.</i>)</li>
<li>Added new actions for improved mouse interactions, and made them the
default. Button 1 now moves the cursor, without the Shift key.</li>
<li>Added support for DBCS in pr3287, but only when started from an
x3270 or c3270 session.</li>
<li>Added Don Russell's RPQNAMES support.</li>
<li>Removed Minolta-copyrighted 5250 code, because of licensing
problems.</li>
<li>Added an <b>aidWait</b> toggle to allow AID script actions
(<b>Clear</b>, <b>Enter</b>, <b>PA</b> and <b>PF</b>) to complete
immediately without waiting for the host to unlock the keyboard, and a
<b>Wait(Unlock)</b> action action to block a script until the keyboard
is unlocked, regardless of the state of the new toggle.</li>
<li>Removed the old scripting hack that delayed actually unlocking the
keyboard for 50ms after the host indicates that it should be unlocked.
Added an <b>unlockDelay</b> resource, which can be set to <b>true</b> to
turn the delay hack back on.</li>
<li>Added a <b>dftBufferSize</b> resource to set the default DFT
buffer size.</li>
<li>Added an x3270 <b>Save Screen Text</b> menu option to save the
screen image in a file, optionally in HTML.</li>
<li>Added options to the PrintText action to save to a file, to save HTML,
and to return the text as script data.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Taylor for the fix.</i></li>
<li>Fixed a problem with x3270 DBCS input when using a single DBCS/SBCS
character set.</li>
<li>Made DBCS encoding recognition automatic wherever possible, leaving
the <b>-km</b> option for cases when x3270 can't figure it out from the
locale.</li>
<li>Made c3270's <b>configure</b> more robust when it can't find one or
the other of <b>libncurses</b> or <b>ncurses.h</b>.</li>
<li>Got automatic pr3287 start-up (<b>-printerlu</b>) working again in
c3270.</li>

useless.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added support for Cyrillic keysyms to the x3270 <b>Default()</b>
action.</li>
<li>Added an 'unlocked' icon for unencrypted connections, if x3270 is
built with SSL/TLS support.</li>
<li>Error messages are now written to the trace file.</li>
<li>The response to the TELNET TIMING MARK option has been changed to
make it compatible with the majority of TELNET clients.
The response to DO TIMING MARK is now WONT TIMING MARK.
To restore the previous behavior (responding with WILL TIMING MARK,
originally derived from the BSD TELNET client), set the resource
<b>x3270.bsdTm</b> to <b>true</b>.
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in x3270, c3270, s3270 and tcl3270 3.3.1alpha10, 29. August 2003</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:

<li>Corrected a crash when connecting to a host and there is no menu
bar visible.</li>
<li>Corrected x3270 crashes in monochrome mode (<b>-mono</b>) and

</ul>
</li>
<li>New Features:
<ul>
<li>Added a <b>ReadBuffer()</b> action to dump the entire contents of
the 3270 buffer, including field attributes and extended attributes.</li>
<li>Added support for <b>suppress</b> resources for each menu item.
If set to <b>True</b>, that menu item will not appear.</li>
<li>Added a <b>suppressActions</b> resource, a list of the names of
actions to disable. This is primarily for controlled environments where
the user does not have access to the <b>x3270</b> command line, but can
edit keymap definitions.</li>
<li>Added a <b>Setverbose</b> function to <tt>x3270_glue.expect</tt>
to allow verbosity to be changed on the fly.
<i>(Courtesy of David Taylor.)</i></li>
<li>Added the ability to define resources in an environment variable,
<b>$X3270RDB</b>. The environment variable overrides values set in
the profile file, but is overridden by command-line options.</li>
<li>Added a <b>fixedSize</b> resource to force the <b>x3270</b> main
window to a particular size. <b>fixedSize</b> has the form
<i>width</i><b>x</b><i>height</i>, in pixels.
