The last use of it, to store the contents of the saved session name
edit box, was removed nearly two years ago in svn r9923 and replaced
by ctrl_alloc_with_free. The mechanism has been unused ever since
then, and I suspect any further uses of it would be a bad idea for the
same reasons, so let's get rid of it.
(cherry picked from commit 42c592c4ef)
I'm about to add a list box which expects to contain some very long
but uninformative strings, and which is also quite vertically squashed
so there's not much room for a horizontal scroll bar to appear in it.
So here's an option in the list box specification structure which
causes the constructed GTKTreeView to use the 'ellipsize' option for
all its cell renderers, i.e. too-long strings are truncated with an
ellipsis.
Windows needs no change, because its list boxes already work this way.

Unix GUI programs should not say 'Fatal Error' in the message box
title, and Plink should not destroy its logging context as a side
effect of printing a non-fatal error. Both appear to have been due to
inattentive cut and paste from the pre-existing fatal error functions.

continued operation of PuTTY or a single network connection.

and returns its error message as a string, instead of actually
printing it on standard error and exiting. Now we can preserve the
previous error behaviour when we get a nonexistent font name at
startup time, but no longer rudely terminate in mid-session if the
user configures a bogus font name in Change Settings.

duplicate the strings they pass to gtk_entry_set_text. I was already
doing that in dlg_editbox_set, but forgot to add the same code when I
revamped FontSpec and Filename to contain dynamically allocated
strings (r9314 and r9316 respectively). This fixes a bug where, on
some versions of GTK (but apparently not up-to-date versions), loading
a saved session causes gibberish to appear in file-selector edit boxes
accompanied by a valgrind error.

allocated type.
The main reason for this is to stop it from taking up a fixed large
amount of space in every 'struct value' subunion in conf.c, although
that makes little difference so far because Filename is still doing
the same thing (and is therefore next on my list). However, the
removal of its arbitrary length limit is not to be sneezed at.
[originally from svn r9314]
'Config' in putty.h, which stores all PuTTY's settings and includes an
arbitrary length limit on every single one of those settings which is
stored in string form. In place of it is 'Conf', an opaque data type
everywhere outside the new file conf.c, which stores a list of (key,
value) pairs in which every key contains an integer identifying a
configuration setting, and for some of those integers the key also
contains extra parts (so that, for instance, CONF_environmt is a
string-to-string mapping). Everywhere that a Config was previously
used, a Conf is now; everywhere there was a Config structure copy,
conf_copy() is called; every lookup, adjustment, load and save
operation on a Config has been rewritten; and there's a mechanism for
serialising a Conf into a binary blob and back for use with Duplicate
Session.
User-visible effects of this change _should_ be minimal, though I
don't doubt I've introduced one or two bugs here and there which will
eventually be found. The _intended_ visible effects of this change are
that all arbitrary limits on configuration strings and lists (e.g.
limit on number of port forwardings) should now disappear; that list
boxes in the configuration will now be displayed in a sorted order
rather than the arbitrary order in which they were added to the list
(since the underlying data structure is now a sorted tree234 rather
than an ad-hoc comma-separated string); and one more specific change,
which is that local and dynamic port forwardings on the same port
number are now mutually exclusive in the configuration (putting 'D' in
the key rather than the value was a mistake in the first place).
One other reorganisation as a result of this is that I've moved all
the dialog.c standard handlers (dlg_stdeditbox_handler and friends)
out into config.c, because I can't really justify calling them generic
any more. When they took a pointer to an arbitrary structure type and
the offset of a field within that structure, they were independent of
whether that structure was a Config or something completely different,
but now they really do expect to talk to a Conf, which can _only_ be
used for PuTTY configuration, so I've renamed them all things like
conf_editbox_handler and moved them out of the nominally independent
dialog-box management module into the PuTTY-specific config.c.

it's sensible to do this with the "change settings" box as well.

and I want none of the disputed structure fields to have the same

during an entire run of unifontsel (because unifontsel_set_name was
either not called at all, or called with a name that didn't
correspond to any known font). In this situation we grey out the OK
button until a valid font is selected, and we have
unifontsel_get_name return NULL rather than failing an assertion if
it should be called in that state. The current client code in
gtkdlg.c should never encounter a NULL return, since it only calls
it after the OK button is clicked, but I've stuck an assertion in
there too on general principles.

This is implemented by folding up every branch of depth 2 or more,

over unchanged if other branches start expanding. Then again, we may
have to fiddle with it again when that time comes; who knows?

unable to give this the full testing it deserves; I've managed to

in place of making a network connection. This has involved a couple
of minor infrastructure changes:
- New dlg_label_change() function in the dialog.h interface, which
alters the label on a control. Only used, at present, to switch
the Host Name and Port boxes into Serial Line and Speed, which
means that any platform not implementing serial connections (i.e.
currently all but Windows) does not need to actually do anything
in this function. Yet.
- New small piece of infrastructure: cfg_launchable() determines
whether a Config structure describes a session ready to be
launched. This was previously determined by seeing if it had a
non-empty host name, but it has to check the serial line as well
so there's a centralised function for it. I haven't gone through
all front ends and arranged for this function to be used
everywhere it needs to be; so far I've only checked Windows.
- Similarly, cfg_dest() returns the destination of a connection
(host name or serial line) in a text format suitable for putting
into messages such as `Unable to connect to %s'.
