<h1>
tcl3270 Version 3.2 -- New Features and Bug Fixes</h1>
<h2>Changes in tcl3270 3.2.19, 1. May 2002</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Corrected the behavior of the <b>Delete</b> command on an unformatted
screen.</li>
<li>Improved the performance of CUT-mode file transfers.</li>
<li>Corrected the <b>Transfer</b> action. Numeric arguments always failed,
and the <b>crlf</b> option was being passed to the host even for binary
transfers.</li>
<li>Made the interpretation of model numbers and the 3270 Extendended
Data Stream consistent with <b>x3270</b>, e.g. <b>-model 3270-2</b> means
no Extended Data Stream, while <b>-model 3278-2-E</b> causes the Extended
Data Stream to be enabled.</li>
<li>Corrected the display of TN3270E mode names in data stream traces.<li>
<li>Removed use of the <i>memccpy</i>() library function, which is
apparently broken on some platforms and causes malformed Query Reply
messages to be generated.</li>
<li>Fixed an infinite loop in the <b>SysReq</b> action in TN3270E mode.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Enhancements:
<ul>
<li>Removed the association between the <b>-E</b> suffix on the model number
and the <b>-E</b> transmitted with the terminal name on the telnet session.
A <b>-e</b> will now be silently ignored in the model number value; the
<b>-E></b> transmitted with the telnet terminal type string (indicating
support for the 3270 Extended Data Stream) is now controlled by the
<b>tcl3270.extended</b> resource (which defaults to <b>true</b>), or by the
presence of an <b>s:</b> prefix on the hostname, which turns off the
<b>-E</b> when connecting to that host.</li>
<li>Allow CR/LF translation on binary transfers.</li>
<li>Allow ASCII files that already contain CR/LF sequences to be transferred
to the host.</li>
<li>Added simulation of /dev/fd/ for trace files.</li>
<li>Updated to autoconf 2.53.</li>
<li>Added a <b>Toggle</b> action.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Changes in tcl3270 3.2.18, 31. December 2001</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Create directories as needed for <tt>make install</tt>.</li>
<li>Added better error detection to full-table character set
definitions.</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>tcl3270</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 tcl3270 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>tcl3270.confDir</tt>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bug Fixes:
<ul>
<li>Verified that tcl3270 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 tcl3270 3.2.16, 28. February 2001</h2>
<ul>
<li>Removed the stray reference to x3270if from the Makefile template.</li>
<li>Changed the configure script to find the BSD versions of the TclX
library.</li>
<li>Added a timeout parameter to the <b>Wait</b> command.</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>
<h2>Changes in tcl3270 3.2.15, 26. December 2000</h2>
<ul>
<li>Corrected the Makefile template to build tcl3270 instead of c3270.</li>

<li>Corrected the behavior of <b>Ascii</b> and <b>Snap Ascii</b> when four
arguments are supplied.</li>
<li>Changed the default version of the <b>tcl</b> library to 8.3 (8.2 is still
supported with the <tt>configure --with-tcl=8.2</tt> option).</li>
<li>Added support for Extended Tcl (TclX), via the <tt>configure
--with-tclx</tt> option.</li>
<li>Fixed a problem with disconnecting from hosts when they send illegal
commands in non-TN3270E mode.</li>
<li>Allow, but ignore, Create Partition structured fields.</li>
