'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.

This directory contains a Mac OS X port of PuTTY/pterm, running as a
|
|
native Aqua GUI application.
|
|
|
|
THIS PORT IS CURRENTLY UNFINISHED AND EXPERIMENTAL. It is _not_
|
|
considered to be of release quality, even if you've found it (and
|
|
are reading this) in a PuTTY release source archive. You are welcome
|
|
to try using it, but don't be surprised at unexpected behaviour. I'm
|
|
not kidding.
|
|
|
|
In particular, I have not yet decided where OS X PuTTY should store
|
|
its configuration data. Options include storing it in ~/.putty to be
|
|
compatible with Unix PuTTY, storing it wherever is compatible with
|
|
Mac Classic PuTTY, storing it in a natively OS X location, or
|
|
sorting out the `config-locations' wishlist item and doing all
|
|
three. Therefore, if you start using this port and create a whole
|
|
load of saved sessions, you should not be surprised if a future
|
|
version of the port decides to look somewhere completely different
|
|
for the data and therefore loses them all. If that happens, don't
|
|
say you weren't warned!
|
|
|
|
Other ways in which the port is currently unfinished include:
|
|
|
|
Bit rot
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- the conversion of the old fixed-size 'Config' structure to the
|
|
new dynamic 'Conf' was never applied to this directory
|
|
|
|
- probably other things are out of date too; it would need some
|
|
work to make it compile again
|
|
|
|
Missing terminal window features
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- terminal display is horribly slow
|
|
|
|
- fonts aren't configurable
|
|
|
|
- several features are unimplemented in the terminal display:
|
|
underlining, non-solid-block cursors, double-width and
|
|
double-height line attributes, bold as font rather than as
|
|
colour, wide (CJK) characters, combining characters.
|
|
|
|
- there's no scrollbar
|
|
|
|
- terminal window resizing isn't implemented yet
|
|
|
|
- proper window placement (cascading down and right from the
|
|
starting position, plus remembering previous window positions per
|
|
the Apple HIG) is not implemented
|
|
|
|
Missing alert box features
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
- warn-on-close isn't implemented
|
|
|
|
Missing input features
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- use of Alt+numberpad to enter arbitrary numeric character codes
|
|
is not yet supported
|
|
|
|
- there's no Meta key yet. (I'd like to at least have the
|
|
possibility of using Command rather than Option as the Meta key,
|
|
since the latter is necessary to send some characters, including
|
|
the rather important # on Apple UK keyboards; but trapping
|
|
Command-<key> and sending it to the window rather than the
|
|
application menu requires me to make a positive effort of some
|
|
sort and I haven't got round to it yet. For those Mac users who
|
|
consider their Command key sacrosanct, don't worry, this option
|
|
_will_ be configurable and _will_ be off by default.)
|
|
|
|
- there's no specials menu
|
|
|
|
- mouse activity isn't supported (neither cut-and-paste nor xterm
|
|
mouse tracking)
|
|
|
|
Missing terminal emulation features
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- currently no support for server-side window management requests
|
|
(i.e. escape sequences to minimise or maximise the window,
|
|
request or change its position and size, change its title etc)
|
|
|
|
- window title is currently fixed
|
|
|
|
Other missing features
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- no Event Log
|
|
|
|
- no mid-session Change Settings
