The following is an unordered bullet list of bug fixes and new features which have been added to Kermit 95 since the last release from Columbia University in January 2003. For a more complete description of the changes see the Kermit 95 New Bugs file which can be found at ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/k95/newbugs.txt * Fixed a bug preventing the execution of macros assigned to keys or mouse events when in terminal mode * added DG4xx Set Cursor Type sequence F Q * the dialer did not save the values of menubar, toolbar, statusbar settings on the gui page * a SEND command embedded in a macro and executed as a function with \Fexecute(macro) would cause K95 to crash * timeouts were added to incoming tcp/ip server sockets to prevent denial of service attacks * the passphrase dialog box for private keys accessed during SSL/TLS did not obscure passphrase input * SSH support has been updated to close known security holes * when a HANDLE to a communication device, SET EXIT HANGUP OFF is now the default * Support for Pragma Systems Terminal Server connections were added * ENABLE QUERY command was fixed * Support for using HTTP Proxies to make HTTP connections was added * Corrections to the AnnArbor terminal emulation handling of zSDP * UNC paths now supported for FTP operations * the dialer's QUICK command now supports connections based on templates and includes a SaveAs operation (a poor man's clone) * Linux Character Set handling fixed * Xmodem-CRC checksums fixed * Inadvertent beep produced when setting the title in a terminal session removed * Debug logging of SSH operations added * ADM5 terminal type added * Corrections to START_TLS vs AUTH Telnet Protocol negotiation conflicts * Added SET SSH V2 AUTO-REKEY * SSH URLs did not properly set the window title * extended command line options were not properly processed * new SKERMIT command * a handle leak in the IKSD Service was plugged * new SET FTP BUG USE_SSL_V2 {ON, OFF} command * new SET SSH HEARTBEAT-INTERVAL command * new ON_CD macro. This macro is executed (if defined) whenever a change directory operation occurs. * added FTP MLSD parsing of extended strings * added SET ATTRIBUTES DATE OFF support for XYZmodem transfers * improved algorithm for calculating optimal number of overlapped I/O operations on serial connections * Improvements to Kerberos 5 support * Fixed FTP ASCII sends * added SET TCP HTTP-PROXY /AGENT: * fixed timeout parameters used on USB Serial devices * SET DIALER BACKSPACE now clears the equivalent SET KEY and SET TERM KEY values * When reading strings from the Windows registry, environment variables are now expanded * fixed the ability to disable reverse dns lookups * fixed code that checks if a name is a directory to work on network mapped file systems which do not provide creation date information for directories. * added missing keymap assignments for IBM 3151 emulation * the dialer did not preserve alternative port numbers for FTP connections * removed a Windows Event Log entry logged before the IKSD.KSC file could be processed to disable all logging * HyperLink Extensions were added to ANSI based terminals allowing URLs and UNCs to be specified within the terminal stream just like HREFs work in HTML * Fixed improper handling of DCS sequences consisting of an intermediary '$' character * Add SET TELNET BUG AUTH-KRB5-DES which defaults to ON. When OFF, 3DES encryption may be used with KRB5 Telnet authentication. * Replaced C runtime library stat() calls with home grown version to allow for proper processing of UNCs in file transfer operations * Allow SET TITLE input to be surrounded by braces * Implemented {SEND, RECEIVE} {MOVE-TO, RENAME-TO} for XYZmodem transfers * Fixed SEND /MOVE-TO:directory file transfers * Fixed SET TERMINAL DEBUG ON * Fixed BEEP INFORMATION (and any events that trigger an Informational audible notification) * Removed restriction of FTP GSSAPI exchanges limiting them to one round-trip * Rebuilt all binaries with the new Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 compiler. The primary benefits are optimizations and security precautions. * Fixed a bug preventing (CSI Z) backtab from being executed. * Add a GUI dialog version of the TYPE command to K95G * SCO SGR Set fg/bg colors hack (CSI 2;fg;bg m) The implementation set the colors to black on black regardless to what was specified * SCO Set Function Key hack (ESC Q fn quote ... quote) If the character is below '0', don't throw it away; instead push the character back into the input stream and reprocess it. * IBM EDI Services fails randomly due to a "missing tmp rsa export key" error. * Fixed incorrect script generation by the dialer when Transaction Logging was turned on. The SET TRANSACTION-LOG command was incompletely generated. * Named Pipe connections (both client and server side) have been added. * Fixed when SET FTP CHARACTER-SET-TRANSLATION ON, output from the FTP DIR and FTP TYPE commands would output as garbage * Fixed the parsing of the FTP FEAT response * Fixed Dialer Generated FTP Connection Scripts to perform login in a script safe manner. * Fixed Dialer Generated FTP Connection Scripts to include commands specified as part of the Login page textbox * Fixed Unique file name generation when the file system is 8.3 (FAT) restricted and the original filename only contains an extension. * Added SET MSKERMIT FILE-RENAMING {ON, OFF} which enables the use of the MS-DOS Kermit file collision unique name generation algorithm instead of the C-Kermit algorithm. * Applied the SET EXIT STATUS value to the termination of K95G via [x] * Fixed a bug in K95G which prevented proper recognition of mouse drag events when either the Shift or Ctrl keys were pressed. * Fixed FTP SITE HELP to output response text even when verbose and debug modes are off. * Fixed CVTDATE function to correctly process deltas containing negative months. * Fixed SET PRINTER /CHARACTER-SET: to assign the specified character set to the printer. Previously attempts to set the character set would always result in Danish ASCII being assigned instead of the desired character-set. Printer output of non-ASCII characters will be output as question marks instead. * Fixed --title: command line option to make the behavior equivalent to the SET TITLE command. * Fixed the dialer to only generate SET LOGIN PROMPT and SET LOGIN PASSWORD output strings if the user provided a value in the dialer field. * Added --noclose command line option to disable the File->Exit menu item and remove the System Menu Close menu item * Fixed writing to the VTxxx Status Line when the cursor in the display region is located on the right most margin. * Fixed the parsing of \K{verb} to be an alias for \Kverb. * Fixed processing of VT control character. * Removed restriction on use of auto wrap mode when DECCOLM is set. * OpenSSL has been updated to close known security holes (0.9.8) * Dialer View->FTP option fixed to prevent displaying non-FTP items * -q (quiet) command line option suppresses all startup text allowing the connection to be used for stdio redirection of data over ssh. * SHOW TERMINAL did not display the status of "SET TERM ATTRIBUTE DIM" * DNS SRV record lookups for SSH did not work if a service name was not specified. * Fixed HTTP POST to not insert extra blank line after headers * Fixed parsing of SSH GLOBAL-KNOWN-HOSTS-FILE and USER-KNOWN-HOSTS-FILE * Default terminal type changed to VT220 because Solaris and Linux variations no longer include definitions for VT320 * Dialer Status line only updates the value if it changes. Kermit 95 includes all modifications made by Columbia University to C-Kermit. C-Kermit modifications are usually incorporated into the build the same day Columbia University releases them.
