Release Notes/suite3270/4.0alpha4
Improvements
- Extended the run-time settability of model, oversize, termName and nopSeconds to the entire x3270 family. (Note that model and oversize will still return an error when set on x3270, c3270 and wc3270.)
- Renamed autoscale to x3270a.
- Made the x3270> prompt on POSIX handle color correctly, getting rid of the hacky colorPrompt resource.
- Extended the -set command-line option to accept a value.
- Removed the -Httpd and -UseSocket options on the Script() action. Now all child scripts can use the s3270 protocol or HTTP as they see fit.
- Extended the Set() action to accept name=value syntax.
- Added the Prefixes query and prefixes indication.
- Added the callback resource and -callback command-line option to b3270 and s3270.
- Added the screenTraceTarget and screenTraceType resources to specify the default target and file type for screen tracing.
- Improved the PrintText() action and ScreenTrace() action to infer the file type from the file name when saving to a file.
- Removed support for WordPad printing.
