[CoolTerm-Betas] CoolTerm v2.4.0 Beta 0 is ready for testing

[Roger Meier]

Hi All,

I’m happy to announce that the first v2.4.0 beta is ready for testing. And here is what’s new:

v2.4.0b0
--------
- Added the same "wait for termination string" options to the timestamp settings for received data as for captured data. This makes it possible to specify the termination string to wait for before timestamping and displaying received data.
- Added the following scripting commands to allow XMODEM/YMODEM file transfers to be scripted:
    - SendFiles(ID as integer, Filepaths as string, Mode as integer)
    - ReceiveFiles(ID as integer, Destination as string, Mode as integer)
    - FileTransferStatus(ID as integer) as integer
- Changed behavior of the "Clear Data" tool button and menu item to not clear the display when live updates from the receive buffer are turned off via the DisplayOff scripting command.
- [macOS] Added preferences option for stylized printing of plain text viewer contents.
- [Linux] Added support for printing.
- Some performance improvements in the GUI refresh method.
- Fixed bug that could occasionally throw an UnhandledNilException after XMODEM or YMODEM file transfers.
- Fixed bug in SetParameter() script command that would fail to update a parameter value if it is currently an empty string.
- [Linux] fixed bug that could prevent notification from being displayed on some systems.
- [Win] fixed bug that caused a crash when attempting to print the contents of the plain text display.


Note that the password for the beta download site has changed. Here are the updated credentials:
