Hi,

We have just put up a new pre-release of MindTerm v1.99 (pre5). Note that
the licensing policy of MindTerm has now been decided and has yet to be
formalized. Check out the web-site or contact us if you have questions
about this.

>From the CHANGES file:

MindTerm, release 1.99pre5 - Mar 16, 2001
    o Added ftp over sftp bridge (i.e. connect with any ftp client to sftp
      server through MindTerm bridge)
    o Added detection/disabling of rijndael/aes for openssh
      (endianess-bug)
    o Added detection/disabling of rekeying for openssh
    o Improved keyevent handling with respect to "international" keyboards
      considerably (thanks to Johan Andersson <johan.andersson@appgate.com>)
    o Fixed bug in terminal didn't convert to default character encoding
      when used form ssh2 (thanks to Johan Andersson 
      <johan.andersson@appgate.com>)
    o Fixed bug with ftp proxy, didn't look for right listen address
    o Fixed bug in sftp (braindamage, file handle was treated as String
      causing funny conversion at times...)
    o Fixed bug in x11 forward in ssh1
    o Fixed bug in forwarded channels in ssh1 (didn't hangup correctly)
    o Fixed bug, lazily didn't check length of ssh2 string type
    o Fixed bug, didn't detect F-SECURE old servers with draft
      incompatibilities

In the final release at least the following additional items will be
included:
--
o Better handling of settings for ssh2 (e.g. now can't choose ciphers)
o Better DSA/RSA key handling
o ssh-rsa keys for ssh2
o Changing of some ssh2 settings (e.g. cipher/mac/compression) while
connected
  (code is there but gui needed)
o Gui for scp1 and sftp file transfers
o Handling of open connections through tunnels
o Remappable copy/paste keys
o Possibility to choose ssh1 or ssh2 when server supports both

If you have suggestions for improvements/changes/bugfixes please let us
know!

Cheers,

/Mats
