Books that mention CoolTerm

Did you know that there is a host of interesting books out there that mention CoolTerm? Here is a snapshot of what appears to be a growing list:

• Building Wireless Sensor Networks by Robert Faludi
• Making Things Talk, 2nd Edition by Tom Igoe
• Arduino Cookbook by Michael Margolis
• Distributed Network Data by Alasdair Allan and Kipp Bradford
• iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino: Wiring the iPhone and iPad into the Internet of Things by Alasdair Allan
• XBee IEEE 802.15.4 Programming by Agus Kurniawan
• Getting Started with Intel Galileo by Matt Richardson
• Make: Wearable Electronics: Design, prototype, and wear your own interactive garments by Kate Hartman
• Make: Arduino Bots and Gadgets: Six Embedded Projects with Open Source Hardware and Software (Learning by Discovery) by Tero Karvinen and Kimmo Karvinen

Rob Faludi was kind enough to send me a copy of his book to review a few years ago when it came out. It's a nice read and a good way to get hooked on XBee. I can also recommend Tom Igoe's book (to which Rob contributed as well), which I ended up buying for myself.
I obviously can't afford to buy all the books on this list, especially if it keeps growing as it has, but I would certainly like an opportunity to read them. So, if you're one of the authors of the books above and would like to make a contribution to the "CoolTerm Library" by donating a copy of your book (a signed copy would be nice :-)), I would appreciate it very much.

CoolTerm 1.4.4

CoolTerm 1.4.4 is now available for download and includes a handful of feature enhancements as well as some bug fixes. Here is what's new:

• changed Enter key emulation settings to use popup menu and added the option use a custom sequence to emulate the enter key.
• Added additional font sizes to preferences dialog.
• Added option to reduce the terminal refresh rate to once per second in order to reduce the CPU load on systems where power consumption is critical.
• Added text the the built in help to explain that reducing the size of the receive buffer can be used to reduce CPU power consumption.
• [MAC] Compiling for Cocoa from now on.
• [MAC] Added basic retina support.

IMPROVEMENTS

• CoolTerm now properly remembers the last used folders (individually) for opening connection settings, capturing to text files, as well as sending text files.
• Added DEL character (ASCII 127) to the routine that handles BS characters in ASCII view.
• optimized code to reduce CPU load while sending text files.
• stability improvement to the code of the circular receive buffer.

BUG FIXES AND STABILITY IMRPOVEMENTS

• fixed code that could cause extended ASCII characters to sometimes be incorrectly translated from hexadecimal format to plain text.
