What's new in IVT Secure Access Light 23.3 Build 32945

Dec 3, 2013
  • New "+" tab as yet another (and intuitive) way to create a new session.
  • New standard scripts "Send file to Remote" and "Send file to Windows" to do file transfer with just "perl" as a requirement on the remote end. Just drag&drop files onto IVT and it will do the transfer to the host.
  • Copy/paste from Word-documents into ASCII sessions now will cleverly translate certain characters such as left/right quotes and long hyphens to their ASCII equivalents. Prevents question-marks appearing in unexpected places when you paste commands into a Unix shell from a Word document.
  • New "Reflection"-like color setup option which causes IVT to use colors instead of true blink, underlining, reverse and bright video. Meant to facilitate the transition from Reflection.
  • Rewritten printer system for better color support, black/white printing, PRIVT from Unix can now be used to do advanced spooling and graphical output through IVT. Many printer-related problems fixed.
  • Choice between 64- and 32-bit versions of IVT. The 64-bit runs a bit faster and allows practically limitless scrollback.
  • Zeroes can now be displayed slashed or dotted in any font to distinguish them better from the capital letter "O".
  • Better support for multi-monitor setups, various sizing errors and font errors fixed. New "Minimize to tray" function to hide IVT from sight.
  • More user-configurable entries on the menu bar (was 1, now 10). This allows you to group and configure many shortcuts and customizations.
  • The context-menu that appears when you right-click on a tab is now user-configurable.
  • Many improvements to pasting text and the PASTESPEED command to prevent flooding hosts (especially AIX "TTYHOG OVERUN") when pasting large amounts of text.
  • New scripting facilities allow better isolation of scripts (see "PACKAGE" in manual).
  • Plus many dozens of smaller bugfixes, improvements and extensions.
