- change click-by-click advice on modifying saved sessions
- add `Restart Session' as another reason you might not want to close the
window on exit; other tweaks to this language
- mention Shift-Backspace action
- the window resizing configuration documentation was completely out of
date; rewrite
- add a note about Default Bold Background since it's caused confusion
- "remote terminal" -> "remote system" in terminal-type doc

charset and local font, which has occasionally foxed me.
Cross-reference the Translation panel reference section from the intro
section in using.but and mention line-drawing characters there also.

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.

PuTTY / Plink not to run a remote shell/command at all. Supported in
the GUI configuration and via the (OpenSSH-like) -N command-line
option.
No effort is currently made to arrange `nice' UI properties. If you
do this in GUI PuTTY, a full-size terminal window will still be
created, and will sit there with almost nothing in it throughout
your session. If you do it in Plink, Plink will not accept any kind
of request to terminate gracefully; you'll have to ^C or kill it.
Nonetheless, even this little will be useful to some people...

- 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

by default (although they can be included). There's also an option to remove
session data, which is good both for privacy and for reducing the size of
logfiles.

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.

In the process, I've removed the individual controls on the Telnet and
Rlogin panels and replaced them with one on the Connection panel (since they
were backed by the same storage anyway).
The terminal speeds sent in SSH are logged in the Event Log.

- update usage info in tools
- ack, plink is over 24 lines now
- update man pages for Unix version
- Doc changes:
- move long description from (GUI) "config" to "using"
- sorry if complete specification isn't what this section is meant for,
but if you only read "using" it was hard to find.
- ensure enough references to this made in other sections (GUI,
command-line)
- update instance of plink usage info

"REGEDIT /E". On newer versions of Windows (verified on 2K), this will cause
the .REG file to be saved in REGEDIT4 format (ASCII) which can be read by
older Windows, rather than REGEDIT5 (Unicode). On older Windows, the extra "A"
is harmless (verified on Win98).

box, in that it started to expand under the weight of proxy options.
Now fixed, by folding the SOCKS version selector into the general
proxy type selector so there's one single 5- or 6-way radio button
set split over two lines. settings.c has of course grown a backwards
compatibility wart to deal with legacy config data.

the possibility of an OS that actually takes security of its
terminal devices seriously, and which might be able to make sensible
and safe use of this feature.

to pieces, and put it back together in a new table-driven form.
config.c sets up a data structure describing most of the config box;
wincfg.c adds in the Windows-specific options (so that config.c can
also form the basis for Mac and Unix config boxes). Then winctrls.c
contains a shiny new layout engine which consumes that data
structure, and windlg.c passes all WM_COMMAND and similar messages
to a driver alongside that layout engine. In the process I've sorted
out nicer-looking panel titles and finally fixed the list-boxes-are-
never-the-right-size bug (turned out to be Windows's fault, of
course). I _believe_ it should do everything the old config box did,
including context help. Now everyone has to test it thoroughly...

foreground colours, and ESC[100m through ESC[107m to set bright
background colours. Hence, so do we. Bright-foreground is
distinguishable from bold, and bright-background distinguishable
from blink, when it leaves terminal.c; the front end may then choose
to display them in the same way if it's configured to do so. This
change makes the xterm backend for Turbo Vision (!!!) work properly.
Untested on Mac.

convention, and also sprinkle references to it throughout the docs. I've
also scattered hints that most tools need PuTTY's native format; perhaps this
will reduce the frequency with which FAQ A.1.2 trips people up.

and term_reconfig() now passes in a new structure which is copied
over the top. This means that the old and new structures can be
compared, and the _current_ as well as default states of auto wrap
mode, DEC origin mode, BCE, blinking text and character classes can
be conveniently reconfigured in mid-session without requiring a
terminal reset.

the remote IP/port data provided by the server for forwarded

probably incompatible with some X clients, and tickles a bug in

SockAddr, which just contains an unresolved hostname and is created
by a stub function in *net.c. It's an error to pass this to most of
the real-meat functions in *net.c; these fake addresses should have
been dealt with by the time they get down that far. proxy.c now
contains name_lookup(), a wrapper on sk_namelookup() which decides
whether or not to do real DNS, and the individual proxy
implementations each deal sensibly with being handed an unresolved
address and avoid ever passing one down to *net.c.

well, though it's a lot less useful since you still can't bind to
low-numbered ports of odd loopback IPs. Should work in principle for
SSH2 remote forwardings as well as local ones, but OpenSSH seems
unwilling to cooperate.

^M instead of the Telnet New Line code. Unix-type telnetds don't
care one way or the other; RDB claims some telnetds prefer Telnet
NL; and now someone has found one that can't deal with Telnet NL and
prefers ^M. Sigh.

sick of recompiling to enable packet dumps. SSH packet dumping is
now provided as a logging option, and dumps to putty.log like all
the other logging options. While I'm at it I cleaned up the format
so that packet types are translated into strings for easy browsing.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT: in the course of this work I had to re-enable
the SSH1 packet length checks which it turns out hadn't actually
been active for some time, so it's possible things might break as a
result. If need be I can always disable those checks for the 0.52
release and think about it more carefully later.
