Version 9.0 of SecureLiTE, UAFTP, STEP++, and   AlphaLAN++ Products:

This section lists the changes between different builds of the 9.0 release. The latest build is on the top. 

Version: 9.0.8.0 - Released on 04/14/2008

List of Changes

1.      Added a dialog box to obtain user name and password each time when making SSH2 connection, if they are not specified in the connection settings.

2.      Keep Alive on SSH connection has been corrected.

3.      A new option called "Apply changes to settings immediately" has now been added to the Settings menu. Therefore, Build 8.0 onwards, the program will no longer apply the changes to the settings immediately and start working like it did prior to build 7.0. You may check “Apply changes to settings immediately”, if you wish to continue to do so.

Version: 9.0.7.2 - Released on 03/14/2008

List of Changes

  1. If the demo copy of the product was previously installed, Windows Vista computers used to give the “Install Error 101” message when installing the actual licensed codes. This problem has now been resolved.

Version: 9.0.7.1 - Released on 07/30/2007

Important Note:  This release build 7.1 incorporates major changes to the “Keyboard handling” routines and the handling of multiple sessions. If you are upgrading from a previous build of version 9.0, please test this new build before deploying it for general use.

List of Changes

  1. The cursor used to disappear some times. This problem has been resolved now.

  2. Keyboard Handling that was modified in build 6.0 prevented function keys from working on Windows 98 PCs. It was working fine on all other versions of Windows. This problem is now resolved.

  3. Mouse double click will no longer toggle screen to full screen when the mouse is being used for host applications. Use SHIFT+ESCAPE key to do the same.

  4. The changes to various settings would be saved right away. Earlier they were being saved when you exited the program.

  5. TVI 925 emulation had a problem in screen display. It has been resolved now.

Version: 9.0.6.1 - Released on 03/16/2007

1.      This build is compatible with Windows Vista. There is a new option “Always draw graphics characters” under Settings/Screen/Font tab. This box must be checked if you are using Windows Vista operating system.

2.      “Print Screen” function has been added to the local menu.

3.      An option to change the “Escape timeout” has been added to Settings/Terminal/Start up Tab. Escape timeout allows the emulator to exit an “Escape command’ after this timeout value in the unlikely event when the incoming data is lost. The default value for this timeout is 550 milliseconds. If you are connected over a wide area network or a slow modem and this default value is insufficient (your screen is not being displayed correctly), you may increase it.

4.      The return key codes, if specified, would now be sent back to the host application when you release the mouse click on an Image.

5.      If your host application is using mouse interface, it was not working properly for mouse clicks on the area where an image was displayed, even when the image was invisible (hidden).  This problem has been rectified.

Version: 9.0.6.0 - Released on 01/12/2007

Important Note:  This release build 6.0 incorporates a major change to “Keyboard handling” routines allowing the emulator to work with other input devices such as Magnetic Card Readers,  writing pads on Tablet PCs, etc. If you are upgrading from a previous build of version 9.0, please test this new build before deploying it for general use.

List of Changes

1.      You may now specify to send 'Keep Alive' packets when using a network connection (Telnet or SSH). You may specify this interval (in seconds) on the startup Tab under Settings, Terminal. The default value is "0" which turns this feature OFF.

2.      A special host command is now available to capture and process the action when the user drags and drops file(s) on the emulator window. Your host application may receive file name(s) to process such events or instruct the emulator to "open" or "print" the dropped file(s).

3.      Keyboard Handling has been modified to work with other input devices such as Magnetic Card Readers, writing pads on Tablet PCs, etc.  This will also allow the emulator to work correctly with other programs like ‘GoToMyPC’, etc.

4.      Allow FTP user name/password to be specified for STEP and SecureLiTE products to allow processing special ftp commands.

5.      Allow mouse clicks on the bottom status line (25th line) to be passed back to the host applications such as MetropoliS.

6.      Improved Telnet Negotiation when using SSH connection.

7.      An option has been added to disable (lock) printer settings such as (Print Screen, Disable Printing, etc.) under Settings/Lock Configuration. This would allow you to completely disable printing, if required.

8.      If new data arrived when marking the text, sometimes it used to leave the old marked text visible. This problem has now been resolved.

9.      Modem File Transfer Options dialog box was not getting displayed. This problem has been resolved.

10.  Number of bytes transferred during X-Modem and other file transfers would now be displayed thus showing the progress of the file transfer.

11.  If the printer name was longer than 32 characters, it was getting truncated when you selected it using the “Print Setup” menu option under Session menu. This problem has been resolved.

12.  User defined menus, context menus and image windows were getting erased when you disconnected from the host. They will now stay loaded until you close the emulator window.

Version: 9.0.5.2 - Released on 10/26/2005

1.      The application used to lock up when it asked for “Super User” password on SSH2 connections. This problem has now been resolved.

2.      Added host command to execute (use any verb such as open, print, etc.) a Windows file.

3.      FTP Password was getting displayed during native file transfers.

4.      FTP password was visible in the registry.

Version: 9.0.5.1- Released on 06/10/2005
1.     When using user defined menus and local menus, you may add the shortcut to an item name by putting the two letters \t between the name and the shortcut. The earlier builds required an extra space character before \t characters which is not needed any more.
 
2.  You may now specify the configuration settings that are stored by the application in the “Registry” (such as settings in the View menu) by supplying a file called ‘USER.REG’. This registry file should contain your settings that are different than the default values. Please copy this file to the main folder on your distribution CD. The Installation program will automatically copy these registry values at the time of installation.
 
3.  The sample files for importing entries in the Phone Book (PBImport.txt and PBEntries.txt) were missing. They have been added.

Version: 9.0.5.0- Released on 04/01/2005

1.     The number of recently used configuration file list in the “Session” menu has been increased from 4 to 9.

2.      A special command to send the terminal emulation product information (version or name) has been added. The version string would look like 9.0.5.0.

3.      A special command to detect a running application (by using the text displayed in the Window Title) has been added.

4.      Special commands to read and write registry entries have been added.

5.      If the activation key specified in the user.cfg file on a distribution CD was not in capital letters, UA-FTP license information was not getting installed. This problem has now been fixed.

6.      You may now specify the name of the desktop “shortcut” for the terminal emulator when using a distribution CD. Please enter the name of the shortcut (say MyApp) on the first line in a file called ‘USER.LNK’ and copy this file to the main folder on your distribution CD.

Version: 9.0.4.1- Released on 02/11/2005
  •  Fixed problem with unsafe screen warning. It was unnecessarily giving the warning message all the time due to a problem in the previous build.
  • Corrected terminal type display from AM62CC to AM62C.
  • The default window sizes have been changed in some resolutions (e.g. 1024X768) to use a larger font. A default window size has been added for the screen resolution of 1280X960

Version: 9.0.4.0- Released on 01/17/2005

This build adds many new functions including functions to display images and various other GUI functions. Therefore, this build of version 9.0 software should be treated like a new version. Please check it out before deploying it widely.

  • Fixed problem with color attributes in status lines for mode color terminals (such as “native” emulation.
  • Fixed problem with sending Hexadecimal commands to the host from user menus.
  • Silent FTP file transfers were causing the application window to loose focus some times. This problem has been fixed now.
  •  Attribute Color mapping was not working correctly. This problem is fixed now.
