MinTTY is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Its terminal emulation is largely
compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server to be
running. It is based on code from PuTTY 0.60 by Simon Tatham and team.
This update fixes a couple of bugs introduced in mintty-0.3.9-1.
CHANGES
=======
Bugfixes:
- The window title was left blank when non-Windows
codepages such as the default ISO8859 ones were used.
- Characters in the "CJK Ambiguous Width" category, e.g. Greek letters
and line-drawing symbols, were displayed with the wrong width with several
fonts on Windows 7.
Details of these can be found at
http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/list?can=1&q=Milestone%3A0.3.10
Previous fixes in 0.3.9-1:
- The console window that pops on Windows 7 now gets hidden.
Unfortunately the console still flickers up briefly, but the
underlying problem has been reported to MS, so it might still get
sorted before release.
- Characters in the "East Asian Ambiguous" category are now displayed
as wide characters if a dual-width font such as MS Gothic or MS Mincho
is selected. This is for compatibility with existing practice.
- IMEs (Input Method Editors) are now supported.
- UTF-8 and other codepages are supported for the window title.
- The MinTTY window should no longer cling to the screen edges on
startup.
- External window resizes e.g. due to the taskbar's window arrangement
commands are now supported.
- Lines are no longer cropped when narrowing the window, i.e. hidden
content reappears when widening it again.
- The man page had a couple of typos in the .lesskey lines for
activating mousewheel support in less. Here are the correct entries:
\e[1;2A back-line
\e[1;2B forw-line
\e[5;2~ back-screen
\e[6;2~ forw-screen
