Release Notes/suite3270/4.1alpha7

Known issues

 * When running on Cygwin, child scripts (the Script action, Execute action and Prompt action) fail with a bind error.
 * When the print dialog is canceled, the PrintText action and ScreenTrace action fail silently.
 * The emulator will sometimes crash when a pending connection is broken.

Improvements

 * The overlayPaste resource is now set to true by default.
 * GNOME desktop integration is now included.
 * wc3270 now does continuous selections in NVT mode, and allows a single character to be selected.
 * wc3270 no longer moves the cursor for mouse clicks in NVT mode.
 * Double-clicking on a URL in x3270 (on most platforms) and in wc3270 now opens that link in the browser.
 * The session file folder is no longer marked as a system file, so backup software will not skip it.
 * Added the SubjectNames action and TlsSubjectNames query.
 * Added the ability to set an accept host name to the wc3270 Session Wizard.
 * Switched several actions that return values to explicitly return nothing.

Bug fixes

 * APL characters were not displayed properly in x3270 in NVT mode, when using a 3270 font.
 * On MacOS, the ./configure script would skip c3270 if it was not enabled explicitly.

 * Fixed a c3270 crash seen on NetBSD.
 * Fixed an issue with c3270 exiting prematurely, seen on NetBSD.
 * Fixed an x3270 install issue (courtesy of Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert).
 * 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.
