of the SSH servers I conveniently have access to (Debian stable OpenSSH --
3.4p1 -- and lshd) seem to take a blind bit of notice, but the channel
requests look fine to me in the packet log.
I've included all the signals explicitly defined by
draft-ietf-secsh-connect-19, but I've put the more obscure ones in a submenu
of the specials menu; there's therefore been some minor upheaval to support
such submenus.

the same window (Windows version only).
Policy change: it's now the backend's responsibility to call
update_specials_menu() at the start of a session (or whenever it feels ready),
if it has any special commands. Otherwise the menu won't be displayed.

feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.
Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.
I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.

into the Connection panel, and implemented support for the SSH2
"env" request. (I haven't yet found a server which accepts this
request, so although I've visually checked the packet log and it
looks OK, I haven't yet been able to do a full end-to-end test.)
Also, the `pty' backend reads this data and does a series of
`putenv' commands before launching the shell or application.
This is mostly because in last week's UTF-8 faffings I got
thoroughly sick of typing `export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8' every time I
started a new testing pterm, and it suddenly occurred to me that
this would be precisely the sort of thing you'd want to have pterm
set up for you, particularly since you can configure it alongside
the translation settings and so you can ensure they match up
properly.

array of each `termline' structure now contains optional additional
entries after the normal number of columns, which are used to chain
a linked list of combining characters off any primary termchar that
needs it. This means we support arbitrarily many combining
characters per cell (unlike xterm's hard limit of 2).
Cut and paste works correctly (selecting a character cell containing
multiple code points causes all those code points to be cut and
pasted). Display works by simply overlaying all the relevant
characters on top of one another; this is good enough for Unix
(xterm does the same thing), and mostly seems OK for Windows except
that the Windows Unicode fonts have a nasty habit of not containing
most of the combining characters and thus overlaying an
unknown-code-point box on your perfectly good base glyph.
I had no idea how to add support in the Mac do_text(), so I've
simply stuck in an assertion that will trigger the first time a
combining character is displayed, and hopefully this will bite
someone with the clue to fix it.

The active terminal screen is no longer an array of `unsigned long'
encoding 16-bit Unicode plus 16 attribute bits. Now it's an array of
`termchar' structures, which currently have 32-bit Unicode and 32
attribute bits but which will probably expand further in future.
To prevent bloat of the memory footprint, I've introduced a mostly
RLE-like compression scheme for storing scrollback: each line is
compressed into a compact (but hard to modify) form when it moves
into the term->scrollback tree, and is temporarily decompressed when
the user wants to scroll back over it. My initial tests suggest that
this compression averages about 1/4 of the previous (32 bits per
character cell) data size in typical output, which means this is an
improvement even without counting the new ability to extend the
information stored in each character cell.
Another beneficial side effect is that the insane format in which
Unicode was passed to front ends through do_text() has now been
rendered sane.
Testing is incomplete; this _may_ still have instabilities. Windows
and Unix front ends both seem to work as far as I've looked, but I
haven't yet looked very hard. The Mac front end I've edited (it
seemed obvious how to change it) but I can't compile or test it.
As an immediate functional effect, the terminal emulator now
supports full 32-bit Unicode to whatever extent the host platform
allows it to. For example, if you output a 4-or-more-byte UTF-8
character in Unix pterm, it will not display it properly, but it
will correctly paste it back out in a UTF8_STRING selection. Windows
is more restricted, sadly.

- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
- explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
- don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
done later

before "-load" is processed so that it doesn't clobber it.
I've also changed the semantics of "-load" slightly for PSCP, PSFTP,
and Plink: if it's specified at all, it overrides (disables) the
implicit loading of session details based on a supplied hostname
elsewhere (on the grounds that the user is more likely to want the
"-load" session than the implicit session). (PuTTY itself doesn't do
implicit loading at all, so I haven't changed it.)
This means that all the PuTTY tools' behaviour is now consistent iff
"-load" is specified (otherwise, some tools have implicit-session, and
others don't).
However, I've not documented this behaviour, as there's a good chance
it will be swept away if and when we get round to sorting out how we
deal with settings from multiple sources. It's intended as a "do
something sensible" change.

No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

can do it by hand, I've converted the man page set from Unix PuTTY
into Halibut format, and enhanced the Makefile so it will build
them. At some future point this will also allow me to include the
man pages as an appendix in the main manual (once I _have_ a main
manual for Unix PuTTY).

Assertion was originally added 2002-03-01; e.g., see plink.c:1.53 [r1571].
I believe this now shouldn't break anything.
This should hopefully make `ppk-empty-comment' finally GO AWAY. (Tested
