CoolTerm v1.4.6 Released

NEW/CHANGED FEATURES:

• Added the option to automatically start file capture upon loading connection settings.
• Added option to append new data to auto capture files.
• Added option to filter ANSI escape sequences. If this option is enabled, ANSI sequence characters will be filtered in ASCII view mode.
• Added preference option to enable condensing the line spaces in plain text view mode (not available in Universal Binary builds).
• [Win][Linux] Added code to ensure that only one instance of CoolTerm is running on the system at the same time
• Added code to ensure that a connection settings file can only be opened once.
• Added preference option to show or hide the toolbar.
• Added UTF-8 support for plain text view.
• Updated preferences dialog to display extended character set.
• [Win] Added support for AltGr key combinations on certain international keyboards.
• Added shortcut (Mac: CMD-I, Win/Linux: CTRL-I) to Connection/Options... menu.
• Changed relative timestamp format from HH:MM:SS:sss to HH:MM:SS.sss to be consistent with established timestamp conventions.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Removed CTRL+Alt+S short cut for "File/Save as default" to avoid AltGr+S triggering the short cut.
• [Win][Linux] Changed code to use platform specific default text encoding for the plain text window to allow displaying bytes larger than 0x7f.
• UI Tweaks to harmonize the look of the GUI between platforms.
• Updated Help Text with instructions on how to remove the serial port name from settings files.

BUG FIXES AND STABILITY IMRPOVEMENTS:

• [Linux] Updated AutoScroll code to behave the same as it does on Mac and Windows.

• [Mac] Fixed bug where the text encoding of strings returned from AppleScript commands was not defined.
