<h1>
s3270 Version 3.2 -- New Features and Bug Fixes</h1>
s3270 is all-new code, based on the scripting functions of x3270 3.2.
<h2>Changes in s3270 3.2.18, 31. December 2001</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Install the x3270if man page in section 1, not 5.</li>
<li>Create directories as needed in 'make install'.</li>
<li>Added better error detection to full-table character set
definitions.</li>
<li>Fixed a scripting problem with percent "%" characters on the screen.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Enhancements:
<ul>
<li>Included the autoconf <tt>configure.in</tt> file, so that users can
run a newer or customized <i>autoconf</i> on it.</li>
<li>Added a <b>color8</b> resource. When set to <b>true</b>, <i>s3270</i>
will only do a Query Reply report on 8 colors. The default of 16 seems to
confuse some hosts.</li>
<li>Added Euro symbol support, using ISO 8859-15 fonts.</li>
<li>Added a <b>traceFileSize</b> resource and <b>-tracefilesize</b> option
to limit the size of trace files.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in s3270 3.2.17, 25. June 2001</h2>
<ul>
<li>Installation Changes:
<ul>
<li>Moved the feature disable logic (turning off NVT mode, file transfers,
etc.) to <b>configure --disable</b> options.</li>
<li>Allowed the location of the configuration directory (where the
character set files are) to be set with a new resource:
<tt>s3270.confDir</tt>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Verified that s3270 builds with all permutations of disabled
features.</li>
<li>Fixed a problem with 3270 Modify Field orders that specify no
attributes.</li>
<li>Fixed a problem with misinterpreting skipped 3270 field attributes.</li>
<li>Compatibility changes for Cygwin.</li>
<li>Improved the performance of DFT file transfers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Character Set Improvements:
<ul>
<li>Added support for other 8-bit character sets (Latin-5, etc.).</li>
<li>Added support for Turkish, ISO Hebrew, Russian, Thai and Brazilian
character sets.</li>
<li>Added support for file-based character sets, in the <tt>charset</tt>
subdirectory of the configuration directory.</li>
<li>Added support for specifying an entire character set translation table,
rather than listing the exceptions from ISO 8859-1.</li>
<li>Added support for file transfer character sets (a definition of how
the host translates EBCDIC to ASCII for file transfers).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Other Improvements:
<ul>
<li>Added support for <b>BackTab</b> in <b>String</b> actions, via the
<tt>\T</tt> sequence.</li>
<li>Allow IPv6-style square-bracket-delimited hostnames, and tightened the
rules for port numbers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in s3270 3.2.16, 28. February 2001</h2>
<ul>
<li>All error messages now appear on one line.</li>
<li>Added a timeout parameter to the scripting <b>Wait</b> action.</li>
<li>Added <b>Snap(Wait Output)</b>.</li>
<li>Added an Italian character set.</li>
<li>Added translations ASCII file transfers, so square brackets, pipe
characters and anything from the upper half of the IOS 8859-1 character set
stand a better chance of coming through correctly.</li>
<li>Corrected a subtle problem in TN3270E option negotiation.</li>
<li>Improved SSCP-LU support.</li>
<li>Restored the operation of CUT-mode file transfer. (It had been disabled
early in the 3.2 development cycle.)</li>
</ul>
<li>Corrected the Makefile template to build s3270 instead of c3270.</li>
