- Announcing minicom 1.82
- A short summary of what minicom is:
- Minicom is a communications program that resembles the MSDOS Telix
- somewhat. It has a dialing directory, color, full ANSI and VT100
- emulation, an (external) scripting language and more.
- Tested platforms:
- Linux 2.0.34,
- Supported but untested (may need a little tweaking):
- DGUX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Coherent, HP/UX, SysVR4, Apollo Domain/OS, SunOS, SCO.
- New in Minicom 1.82:
- - call duration in the "Gone offline" and "Hangup" log messages.
- - Old phonedir version (one with shorter entry length than the current
- version), if found, is backed up at program start
- - command line option "-C filename" to start capturing at program startup
- - the character conversion tables are now also used when writing the
- capture file, unless you unset the capture convert option
- - log command added to runscript. Now you can write text from your scripts
- with the command "log this is the log entry"
- - the date is now written in the phone directory and the log file with
- 4 numbers in the year
- - default value for control key changed back to ^A from Escape(meta)
- - notations u for username and p for password in the macro strings.
- If you need the character in macros, type it double (as \)
- - citation facility in the scrollback buffer: When viewing the scrollback
- buffer, move cursor where you want the citation to start, press c, move
- cursor to the end of text to be citated, and press c again. The marked
- text will be sent to the modem, each line prefixed with >
- - Japanese, French and Polish have been added to the language selection
- New in Minicom 1.81:
- - The filename selection window has been rewritten by James Seymour
- (jseymour@jimsun.LinxNet.com). When you upload files, you can use this
- window to select the filenames from the upload directory. You can also use
- change the upload directory within this window. New setting 'multi' has
- been added to the file transfer protocol configuration screen to define
- which protocols can send multiple files with one command.
- The program can also be set to prompt for the directory each time you
- download something. (Setting 'O', "Prompt for download directory", in the
- file transfer protocol configuration menu.)
- - When you start dialing and the highlighted phone directory entry is not
- tagged, the dialing function starts searching for tagged entries from the
- highlighted one, not from the beginning. Thus, if entries 1, 2 and 5 are
- tagged and entry 3 is highlighted, the dialing starts from entry 5.
- - Multiple device support: You can define multiple serial ports in the
- Serial device setting in the Serial port setup configuration menu by
- separating them with commas, if you have more than one modem
- attached. When Minicom starts, it will look for the first available one
- and use it. This feature was also written by Jim Seymour.
- New in version 1.80:
- - Internationalization. The text strings can be changed to localized ones.
- Set the environment variable LANG to the code for your country. If you
- use bash, you can do that with "export LANG=xx_XX" in your .bash_profile,
- where xx_XX is the code for your country. Currently supported codes are
- pt_BR for Brazilian Portuguese and fi_FI for Finnish.
- You may also have to set LC_CTYPE to indicate the character set used
- in your country (ISO-8859-1 is the right one for many).
- New in version 1.79:
- - The changes from version 1.78-s, published by Kent Robotti, were included:
- - history buffer search
- - The X, Y, Zmodem protocols lrzsz-0.12.16, are included.
- - The program 'modemu.v.0.0.1', is also included, this allows you to use
- minicom over a telnet connection.
- - Filename selection window was added, along with the setting 'N',
- "Use filename selection window", in the File transfer protocols setting
- menu to toggle for using the feature. The window itself has been rewritten
- for version 1.81.
