• MagiTerm 1.1.12

    Hi

    * clean up a bunch of layout errors when changing modes.

    * Supports multiple term types, allowing systems that don't recognize 'magiterm' as a valid term type can re-request and it will send 'ansi-bbs' if it doesn't like that they can re-request and it will send 'unknown' (with telnet) with ssh a system can reject the pty request with 'magiterm' as it's term type and it will try again with 'ansi-bbs' if it rejects 'unknown' it will disconnect.

    * Fix for sending NAWS, I was sending NAWS without being asked to properly, this made mbse choke.

    Thoughts on term type: I don't think sending 'magiterm' as a term type is incorrect. it will allow bbs systems to take advantage of magiterm features if they choose to support it going forward. syncterm does the same thing. I've tested with mystic, synchronet, mbse, linux terminal, some c64 boards and the only thing that has a problem is enigma 1/2. Enigma 1/2 defaults to utf-8 on an unknown terminal type - that's the only issue there. I've talked with bryan about this but seems we're not agreeing on this, bryan's a good friend so i don't want to push it, so for the time being, use syncterm to connect to enigma 1/2 boards. (or netrunner i suppose) just be aware that i know it's not working with enigma 1/2

    I have added the option to cycle term types, and may also add the option in the future to force a particular term type.

    Howdy

    I compiled and updated - looks good.

    Another thing I noticed - I was grabbing some text with the mouse. Since the text I wanted went to the uttermost left hand side, I actually selected past the edge of magiterm and it died.

    From what I can see, if you are selected past the edge (left side - didnt try right), it looks like the selection has wrapped to the right side, but as soon as you release the mouse click, magiterm dissapears.

    (I think selection within the boundaries of the window works OK - I'll try when I've finished this message ;)

    Hope this make sense...

    Thanks, I've fixed it in git. wasn't checking bounds (ooops)

    git also now has sixel support, or at least it can display sixel images not sure how correct it is regarding placement etc.

    Cool, I'll have a play.

    How hard would it be to support viewdata?

    I think this is the font: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtrussell/BBCSDL/master/include/SDL2_gfxPrimitives_font.h, and I had a bit of a play trying to get something to render (without luck). Never used SDL, nor am I a C/C++ programmer really.

    My BBS answers viewdata on port 516 (alterant.bbs.leenooks.net) - and I have a web client here: https://alterant.static.leenooks.net/2018/12/31/oztex/

    You can see the full characters by going to my web client and going to page 999B (no need to login, just *999# and then # again).

    Not sure, it's an 8x8 font at present magiterm only does 8x16 so would need some work with the modes.

    I'd be happy to have a look at doing something like that down the track a bit, I think I'm going to need to add 8x8 fonts for loadable fonts next.

    Could you please make an issue on gitlab? That way I won't forget.

    I was just playing today and noticed while you did fix this out of bounds issue - it broke copy/paste completely.

    IE: Whever I select isnt put in the copy buffer :( In fact, it looks like I cannot paste at all - even if I select out side of Magiterm.

    I've traced it back to commit 71eead8.

    ah, whoops.

    Thanks, I'll have a look at that soon.

    I think it should be fixed now.
