MindTerm 3.2 is now finally available for download from
http://www.appgate.com/mindterm. The main changes in this version are:
* Kerberos authentication
MindTerm can now use local Kerberos tickets to authenticate to the
server (gssapi-with-mic authentication).
* Handle literal IPv6 addresses
It is now possible to enter literal IPv6 addresses enclosed in
brackets. For examples [2001:db8::1428:57ab]:2022 will contact an
ssh server listening on port 2022 on host 2001:db8::1428:57ab.
* NTLM proxy authentication
Added NTLM (LM/NTML and NTLM2) authentication to proxies. That is
MindTerm can now use proxies which demand NTLM authentication.
* Improvements for remote commands
Arnaldo Zimmermann and Avocent provided some enhancements for how
remote commands are handled.
* the ability to get the exit code from remote commands
* capture stderr from remote commands
* timeouts for remote commands
* Drag and drop in file transfer dialog
This release adds drag and drop support in the file transfer
dialog. This code was contributed by Dino Klein.
* Mouse wheel scrolling in terminal window
Dino Klein also contributed a patch which adds support for mouse
wheel scrolling in the terminal window.
* Added MD4 hash algorithm
A side effect of adding NTLM authentication was that we had to add
the MD4 hash algorithm.
* Bug-fix: Use utf-8 in authentication phase
User names and passwords are now encoded in utf-8 when sent over the
wire in the authentication phase.
* Bug-fix: Use the password property if present
The password applet property was never used when authenticating.
* Bug-fix: Do not replace hostname in connect dialog
The connect dialog could replace the hostname entered immediately
after leaving that field.
* Bug-fix: Only close current window when exiting
Earlier versions would close all running applet instances when the
user did exit in one of them.
* Bug-fix: Make right-click menu work
The right-click menu did not work in embedded applet windows.
* Bug-fix: Terminal update
The terminal window sometimes entered a state where it did not
update the display until the window lost focus.
* Bug-fix: Internal error
The internal packet buffer was too small in some circumstances so
the user could get an "Internal error" message.
* Bug-fix: Use 3DES to encrypt RSA1 keys
The wrong encryption algorithm was used when type 1 RSA keys were
generated and stored on disk.
* Bug-fix: Tandem 6530
Fixed various bugs in the Tandem 6530 terminal emulator.
* Bug-fix: SFTP file transfer
Handle remote-to-local transfers with unknown file size.
I would specially like to thank those who have contributed code to this
version.
