[CoolTerm-Betas] CoolTerm v2.1.0 Beta 1 ready for testing

[Roger Meier]

All,

Beta 1 is now ready for testing. Here is the change log:

v2.1.0b1
--------
- Added option to ask the user for a filename when auto capture is enabled. If disabled, CoolTerm will use the default filename.
- Added option to display the capture filename in the status bar.
- Added option to attempt to open the ports on terminals to which to forward received data, should they be closed at the time.
- Added "Macro" tab to the connections settings from where macros can be managed.
- Added option to prefix and suffix sent data with selected transmit macros.
- Added option to automatically unpause the display when new date is being transmitted.

Cheers,

Roger

> - If "Append to auto capture file is turned on" without an auto capture file name having been specified, CoolTerm will now give the user the option to abort the capture and specify a file name in the options, or to proceed with the capture using the default file name.
> - CoolTerm now honors the auto capture file, appended with a unique time stamp name when starting an auto capture and "Append to auto capture file" is disabled. If no file name is specfied, CoolTerm will continue to use the default file name.
> - [Linux] Fixed bug that prevents the terminal window width from being made less than 800 pixels.
> - Fixed bug that would result in an invalid baudrate selection in the baudrates popup menu in the connection options after opening the quick access menu and selecting the "Ports" or "Baudrates" menu titles, which could lead to an OutOfBounds exception after clicking OK to close the connection settings menu item.
