 * Included 'x3270is' in the scripting DLL description in the installer.
 * Added a keyboard mapping for Alt-F4 to exit the emulator.

1.0beta6

 * The copyright message, label on the START button [[File:wx3270-start-button.png]], and keypad button labels are now localized.

 * Macro definitions are now imported from wc3270 session files.
 * Word selections in NVT mode now wrap lines if the displayed text wrapped.

1.0alpha2

 * User-interface tracing is now configurable from the command-line (via the -uitrace command-line option) and from the Actions window. The traces now appear in the same file as back-end (b3270) traces, rather than requiring a console.

 * The no-TELNET input mode settings in the Connection Editor would come up in the wrong state when editing an existing entry.
 * The uConnect action would hang if the connection succeeded.
 * After a host connection was copied from one profile to another, attempting to edit it would crash wx3270.
 * When a new element was added to the profile tree, it would sometimes appear in the wrong location.
