List of most important changes since last published version

  1. Now on execution of the Terminal launcher it preparses parameters for BOTH itself and for associated autologin (I-)PLUGIN/I-SCRIPT launcher to avoid delays between terminal connect and start of autologin launcher on terminal connect. This delay was occurring in old version because autologin launcher was poping up its own "parameters input dialog" requesting from the user to enter substitution parameters. Now substitution parameters for terminal launcher itself and for its associated autologin launcher are requested together in one combined "parameters input dialog" that pops up on execution of terminal launcher - before terminal connects.
  2. QuickConnect Tree (and "add new treenode" dialog) has new PLUGIN (for automatic login with CYGWIN OpenSSH SSH/SFTP clients) that passes "do you trust ssh server key?" question to the user via MessageBox win32 dialog.
  3. Buttons in menubar of the main window are reordered, added new buttons: - "go to next/prev window" buttons are replaced by the button "list of windows in current workspace" (to see list of windows and to switch to window) - new "Normalize" button - new "Change title of active window" button and new setting (checkmark) in windows behavior menu to enforce user supplied window titles for windows of external processes.
  4. Fix in tooltips positioning algorithm
  5. Cursor appearance/behavior changes and its 3 new settings in "Visual Clues" page of Proxy32 Options Dialog.
  6. Changed default windows sizes (Terminal and Main window)
  7. Now terminal window will show "terminal size" tooltips on resize, there is a change in terminal resize behavior, NAWS is sent only once at the end of resize
  8. Terminal "Alternate screen buffer" mode improvements (no scroll and cleanup on resize)
  9. If user types in the terminal, terminal screen will now redraw itself without delay, while if there is no typing, screen refresh rate is limited to once per 0.2 sec (as usual)
  10. New bookmarks submenu "Launch Applications" will be added during greenfield install
  11. Added tooltip on/off button in menubar of the main window.
  12. After auto layout execution - reselect originally active window back from the list - multiple fixes: normalization procedure, minimization procedure should not change active window.
  13. Found and fixed very old bug when clicking on the window of external process will not propagate to change selected window in the active terminal selector list (initialization error - it was checking field for WM_INACTIVE but field value was simply not initialized).
  14. Added Red "ACTIVE" Sticker to highlight active window of external process and also added Sticker configuration (on/off) in "Visual Clues" page of Proxy32 Options Dialog.
  15. Added new button to quickly change the COMMAND line terminator to be sent to the window of external process. This setting is now stored in "Settings.xml" file.
  16. Enabled italic terminal screen attribute (it was commented out by accident long time ago)
  17. Updated built-in CYGWIN installation to include new CYGWIN fixes for CYGWIN compatibility with Windows8 Consumer Preview 32 bit.
  18. Built-in self-installer will now try to install Proxy32 folder into user's Appdata directory first and if it fails it will then try to install Proxy32 folder into "Program Files" directory
