[CoolTerm-Betas] CoolTerm v1.5.0b1 ready for testing

[Roger Meier]

CoolTerm v1.5.0b1 is now available for download. Here is what's new:

1.5.0b1
-------
- Modernized code for latest Xojo IDE.
- Refactored the transmit thread code for support of additional delay
options as well as performance.
- Added "Packet Delay" option, which allows inserting a delay after the
transmission of each packet, the size of which can now be specified via the
connection settings GUI.
- The "Line Delay" option now supports matching all of the specified delay
characters in addition to matching any of them. This allows for entire
strings to be specified as line delay characters.
- The reception of break signals or framing errors now flashes the RX LED
red when "Ignore receive errors" is enabled (select platforms only).
- Changed code to prevent the transmit progress from being displayed when
"loop back receive data" is enabled and larger amounts of data are being
looped back.
- Enhanced the behavior of the TX LED. When flow control is enabled and
transmission is halted by the remote target, the color of the TX LED is
changed to red to indicate that no data is being sent (select platforms
only).
- Improved GUI for flow control settings to prevent hardware and software
flow control from being enabled at the same time.
- changed behavior of modal windows on non-Mac platforms such as connection
options and send progress windows so that only the parent terminal window
is blocked as opposed to all open windows.
- [Mac] Added the following ApplesScript command:
LookAheadHex(ID as integer) as String
- [Mac] Removed the following AppleScript commands:
Str2Hex(PlainStr as String) as String
Hex2Str(HexStr as String) as String
- Building 64bit versions for Mac/Win/Linux. 64bit is considered beta.
- Building for Raspberry Pi (untested).
- Universal Builds for Mac are no longer supported.
