MindTerm 2.4.2 is now available for download at www.appgate.com/mindterm

This is primarily a bug fix release but we have also improved the
documentation included in the various packages. The list of changes
since 2.4.1 is:

    o Support IPv6 addresses when connecting to server.
    o Fixed problem where MindTerm could throw an exception when resizing
      the window.
    o Fixed problem where MindTerm complained about missing DISPLAY even
      if it was started in tty-mode.
    o Made the terminal window include keys pressed while holding Ctrl+Alt
      since ghost keys with this combination was generated when pressing AltGr.
    o Made sure we do not send any data after a channel has been closed.
    o Do not include the Terminal class in lite_term.jar to avoid
      confusing some class loaders.
    o Added new parameter input-charset which tells which charset the
      remote end is supposed to use. Currently the only supported
      value is 'vga'. If left as 'none' then the system default is
      used.
    o Added new parameter line-space-delta which allows users to
      fine-tune the line spacing. This is useful when using block graphics.
    o Made SFTP and SCP more fault tolerant by discarding stuff which do not
      look like valid protocol data when establishing the problem. This makes
      file transfers work also to broken hosts which print something before
      launching the program.
    o Fixed bug where MT unnecessarily disconnected with a message that
      'Server host key changed'.
    o Support some more X.509 extensions.
    o Fixed NPE when closing down connections.
    o Fixed problem with channel data window not being adjusted for output
      on stderr.
    o Added build instructions.
    o Handle SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST "exit-signal" correctly.
    o Fixed bug - F10 key didn't work in terminal with newer JRE's.
    o Implemented support for BREAK (see draft-ietf-secsh-break).
    o Silently ignore keepalive@openssh.com channel requests.
    o Added support in SSH2ConsoleRemote.command() to request pty allocation.
    o Rewrote ArcFour cipher to use ints for the state. This avoids some jre
      bugs on some iPAQ devices.
    o FTPOverSFTP: handle and report exceptions better.
    o Added CipherBenchMark to examples.
    o JZlib updated to 1.0.5.
    o Improved PKCS#12 support.
    o Added support for parsing X.509 CRL's.
