Kermit 95 3.0 beta 7 released!

Show all headers | View raw

The 7th beta of the new open-source Kermit 95 is available now from 
Github:
https://github.com/davidrg/ckwin/releases/tag/3.0.0beta7
https://kermitproject.org/ckw10beta.html

Some of whats new since Beta 6 include:
* IBM OS/2 2.0+ is now supported again. This is the first Kermit release
  for OS/2 since 2.1.2 of November 2002 and the first *free* version of
  OS/2 Kermit since C-Kermit 5A(191) of April 1995. Note that the dialer 
  is not currently included due to compatibility issues with Open 
  Watcom.
* REXX scripting is now supported on Windows for the first time! For 
  now, support is limited to x86 Windows XP or newer. Support for other 
  CPU architectures and older Windows releases may appear in a future 
  release.
* Big SSH improvements:
  * SSH is now supported on 32bit ARM devices for the first time
  * Port forwarding (tunneling) has been reimplemented for the new SSH
    backend. Dynamic (SOCKS) forwarding may appear in a future release.
  * X11 forwarding has been reimplemented for the new SSH backend
  * SSH agent support and agent forwarding has been reimplemented for
    the new SSH backend. See the SSH Client Reference section of the 
    users guide for compatible SSH agents.
  * The SSH backend code has been moved into a DLL. Multiple backends 
    are now provided allowing Kermit 95 to load the correct one for your
    operating system version (Windows XP or something newer) and
    availability of MIT Kerberos for Windows. This means no more 
    shuffling	around ssh.dll variants, and it also opens the door to 
    supporting SSH on older windows releases (or even OS/2) some day.
* New commands to turn the menu bar, tool bar and status bar on and off
  have been added. When the menu bar is turned off, the most important
  actions are available from the Window menu (like in PuTTY)
* Implemented support for Xterms bracketed paste feature
* Reimplemented the three checkboxes in the dialers GUI settings page
  for the menu bar, tool bar and status bar. When these are disabled via 
  the dialer they can't be re-enabled via the new commands for turning 
  them on and off.
* Most of the users guide has been revised for Kermit 95 3.0. It will 
  now be bundled with releases going forward as it was in the past.
Plus many other improvements and bug fixes
