x3270 Changelog

What's new in x3270 4.0ga14

Apr 1, 2021
  • Bug fixes:
  • The last screenful of NVT mode text is no longer lost when scrolling backwards.
  • The programs ar and ranlib are resolved dynamically now when building.
  • Numeric fields no longer ignore non-numeric characters and commas, when the NumericLock resource is false. When it is true, commas are considered valid numeric characters.
  • Proxy connections did not initialize TELNET state properly (courtesy of Andreas Krebbel).

New in x3270 4.0ga12 (Sep 27, 2020)

  • Bug fixes:
  • Incorrectly displayed field attributes with the underlined attribute as underlined.
  • In TELNET line mode, the cursor did not wrap around to the previous line when backspacing.
  • Multi-line input was not handled correctly when pasting in NVT mode.
  • TLS I/O on MacOS would sometimes fail with the error: TLS: SSLRead -9803: I/O would block (not fatal).
  • The emulator did not think there was an input field present if the cursor was at row 1, column 1, even for a CICS host (C prefix).
  • Login macros in the ibm_hosts file were ignored.

New in x3270 4.0ga11 (Aug 18, 2020)

  • Bug fixes:
  • The numericLock resource was implemented incorrectly. If set to false, the numeric field attribute was simply ignored.
  • If the timer in the OIA had started running after an AID was sent to the host, it continued ticking even after Reset() had been used to clear the wait condition.
  • wc3270 desktop shortcuts are now actually, honestly, really created correctly on Windows 10. The Enable Ctrl key shortcuts option is no longer set on the Windows Console, which allows wc3270's Cut(), Copy() and Paste() actions to work properly, and stops F11 from switching to full-screen mode. This fix applies to newly-created shortcuts, and shortcuts that are re-created with the 4.0ga11 Session Wizard.

New in x3270 3.6ga12 (Jul 26, 2020)

New in x3270 3.6ga5 (Nov 8, 2018)

  • [wc3270] Corrected the Session Wizard's handing of host TLS certificate validation, which switched the default from 'no' to 'yes' in 3.6. To stop host certificate checking for an existing session, you must re-run the Session Wizard and explicitly disable it.

  • [all] Corrected the -minversion command-line option.
