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

- The programs ar and ranlib are resolved dynamically now when building.
