- Upgrade x3270 to version 4.3.ga9 ( bsc#1230046(CVE-2024-45490),
bsc#1230047(CVE-2024-45491),
bsc#1230048(CVE-2024-45492) )
- Release Notes/suite3270/4.3ga9
* https://x3270.miraheze.org/wiki/Release_Notes/suite3270/4.3ga9
- Requires expat version 2.6.3
- Use %patch -P N instead of deprecated %patchN.
- Upgrade to version 4.3ga4 (jsc#PED-3355)
* Added support for minimum and maximum TLS protocol versions, via the tlsMinProtocol resource,
tlsMaxProtocol resource, -tlsminprotocol command-line option and -tlsmaxprotocol command-line option.
* Added support for miscellaneous IND$FILE options via the otherOptions keyword of the Transfer() action,
the ftOtherOptions resource, and extensions to the x3270 file transfer dialog and the c3270 interactive
Transfer() action.
* Extended the cancel keyword of the Transfer() action so it will interrupt the initial wait for an
acknowledgement from the host IND$FILE command.
* The Transfer() action now returns a summary on success or a meaningful error message on failure.
* Added the Echo() action.
* Added support for the NEW-ENVRONMENT variables needed by the IBM Express Logon Feature. (Feature request)
- Bug fixes
* When a font is specified in the wc3270 Session Wizard, it is now actually updated in the desktop shortcut.
* Multiple invocations of the Script() or Prompt() actions no longer lead to environment corruption.
* When command-line options are given to the Transfer() action at the c3270> prompt, the host session is
now resumed so the progress of the transfer can be monitored.
* Several missing actions were added to c3270 help.
- Upgrade to version 4.3ga (jsc#PED-3355)
* Improvements
* 4.3beta2
- Builds now work on MSYS2 MinGW.
- The ibm_hosts file is now case-insensitive. (Request from Drew Derbyshire)
- The underscoreBlankFill resource can now be set to false to prevent trailing
underscore characters in a field from being treated like blanks when inserting
in blank fill mode.
- Changed the keymap for Alt-q in x3270, c3270 and wc3270 to exit the emulator
unconditionally, using Quit(-force).
* 4.3alpha1
- The x3270 Color scheme menu option has been renamed 3279 color scheme, since
it only applies to 3279 mode. The green-screen color scheme option has been removed,
though the resource behind it (x3270.colorScheme.GreenScreen) remains.
The default 3279 color scheme now has a grey10 background to make it easier to see
with minimal window frames.
- The confDir resource, where the ibm_hosts file is found, can now be displayed by the
Set() action.
- Added Alt-e to the default wc3270 keymap and Ctrl-a, f to the c3270 default keymap for
the EraseEOF() action. This is needed because Windows no longer passes the END key to
console applications.
- Added the ability to save printer output to a file in a particular directory,
either by specifying the directory path as the printer name (on Windows) or
by specifying the new prtodir command as the printing command (on POSIX).
- Added support for growing or shrinking the x3270 emulator font using Ctrl-+ and Ctrl--.
- Added the IBM 3270 fonts from Ricardo Bánffy to the wc3270 installation and added the
ability to specify fonts in the wc3270 Session Wizard.
- Changed the default behavior of the terminal type reported in TN3270 mode for
3279 models 4 and 5. Previous versions reported these as IBM-3279-4-E and
IBM-3279-5-E respectively; now they are reported as IBM-3278-4-E and
IBM-3278-5-E because the other names are often not recognized by hosts.
To restore the previous behavior, set the wrongTerminalName resource to true.
(Note that the model resource still refers to these models as 3279-4-E and 3279-5-E;
this only changes what is reported to the host.)
- Changed the default library for TLS on macOS to OpenSSL.
- Added a summary of warnings to the end of the output from the ./configure script.
- Added a Python-based test target (documentation coming soon).
- Added a BUILDCC variable to the ./configure script, to facilitate cross-compilation.
(Original suggested patch by Thorsten Otto.)
- The code can now be built on POSIX without the header file or the
nl_langinfo() library function being present. It will guess the codeset (encoding)
from the LC_CTYPE or LANG environment variable if present, or default to ASCII if
neither is present or the value is not defined as locale.encoding.
(Original suggested patch by Thorsten Otto.)
* Bug fixes
* 4.3ga3
- When there is an error making a connection in s3270, the error message is
no longer output on two lines. (Bug report)
* 4.3beta2
- When using a printer session and TLS, the printer session no longer
fails with a host certificate validation error.
- When inserting in blank fill mode, trailing underscores are no longer consumed,
unless they are at the end of the field. (Bug report)
- Upgrade to version 4.2ga10 (jsc#PED-3355)
- Bug fixes
* 4.2ga10
- TN3270E NVT mode now works properly.
- TN3270E SSCP-LU mode now works even if BIND-IMAGE has not been
negotiated by the host.
- When TN3270E is turned off and back on within a session,
x3270 now renegotiates functions properly.
* 4.2ga9
- x3270 mouse selections are much more predictable.
- Double- and triple-clicks no longer move the cursor.
- x3270 no longer crashes when it is reconfigured
(model, font, etc.) while the floating pop-up keypad is visible.
- The security indicator in x3270 no longer disappears when it is
indicating unverified state and the window is reconfigured.
- The ./configure option to give an alternate location for the
OpenSSL library (--with-openssl=) works correctly again.
* 4.2ga8
- When pasting in NVT mode and the text wraps to the next line,
the cursor no longer ends up in the wrong location.
- The x3270a script no longer causes a spurious Invalid (empty)
hostname error pop-up when the display's DPI is other than 96.
* 4.2ga7
- The wc3270 Session Wizard no longer exits silently when
it encounters an error.
- x3270 will no longer change fonts unnecessarily when the
host code page is changed. (bug report)
- The background color is now propagated correctly by the RA order.
- In a resource file, a resource value can now end with a
properly-quoted backslash, without the backslash being interpreted
as a line continuation.
- The Transfer() action, when invoked from within a file read by the
Source() action, now blocks properly -- it returns once the
file transfer is complete.
- If the Source() action is aborted, it will no longer leave the
keyboard locked.
- Typeahead is now processed correctly when the host has
negotiated TN3270E Contention Resolution and the unlockDelay
resource is set to false.
- x3270 4.2ga6:
* many improvements, bug fixes and feature extensions
* pr3287 now supports -tracefile
* pr3287 can now try more than one address for a host
* hostname lookups can now be limited to IPv4/IPv6
- Update to current stable release 4.1 ga13:
* Added a macros menu to c3270 and wc3270.
* Corrected support for the macros resource without a qualifying host name.
* The entire list of command-line options is now displayed only
with the --help command-line option, not for every unknown option.
* Changed the default for unlockDelay in all emulators from
true to false. This is a very significant change.
* When input from the String() action overflows a field,
the cursor now lands in the correct location.
* When a host has multiple addresses, the emulators (except pr3287)
will now reliably try up to four of them.
* Errors from the OpenSSL library are now displayed correctly.
* When a connection fails to a TLS-tunnel host (one specified with
the L: prefix), the correct error message is now displayed.
* Fixed a c3270 crash when a connection is opened from a remote
source (HTTP server or script port) while at the c3270> prompt.
* Fixed a c3270 crash when the -secure and -trace command-line
options are used together.
* A key typed into a full field in insert mode no longer overwrites
the character under the cursor.
- Drop upstream resolved patches:
* x3270-missing-file.patch
* x3270-missing-include.patch
- Use https for URL and Source
- Update to ga14 of 4.0 series:
* The scripting infrastructure has been rewritten and renamed to
task engine.
* No artificial dependencies between actions initiated by
different sources.
* Accidental blocking behavior has been eliminated.
* Unrelated operations are now properly concurrent
* A new emulator has been created, b3270, as a common back-end
process that handles the 3270 protocol and host interactions,
using a simple XML-based protocol.
* The c3270 prompt has been generalized and is available to all
of the 3270 emulators as the x3270 prompt.
* The prompt now uses color to distinguish error messages.
* APL keyboard operation on x3270 has changed, fixed APL keymap
was removed in favor of key combination Shift-Escape toggling
a new APL mode
* Many other bug fixes and features
- Removed x3270-handle-missing-font.patch, mkversion.patch, and
reproducible.patch, merged upstream.
- Expat added as its BuildRequires
- Added x3270-handle-missing-font.patch (bsc#1177104)
In some cases when fonts are present locally but are not present
in the fontpath, x3270 can crash due to a segfault caused by
XLoadQueryFont() returning NULL in lff_single().
- Add reproducible.patch to override build date (boo#1047218)
- x3270 3.r6ga12:
* Potentially incompatible changes:
+ Removed explicit support for self-signed host certificates.
+ To allow self-signed certificates, disable verification.
+ Switched to verifying host certficates by default. This can
be disabled by using the -noverifycert opton or by setting
the verifyHostCert resource to false.
* Many bug fixes and minor feature additions
- drop reproducible.patch, x3270-fix-build.patch, upstreamed
- x3270-fix-build.patch: fixed a bug triggered by LTO, commented
out incompat definition.
- Add mkversion.patch to have fixed timestamps (boo#1047218)
- Add reproducible.patch to not add timestamps in .gz header
- Update to ga9 of 3.5 series:
* [x3270] Fixed the toggle names saved with the File->Save
Changed Options menu option and when processing the
WM_SAVE_YOURSELF message.
* [x3270] Explicitly test for X11, Xt, Xmu and Xaw header files
and libraries in the configure script.
* [x3270] Put the dryrun script in the object directory.
* [wc3270] Allow Windows VKey codes to be specified in wc3270
keymaps in hexadecimal with the syntax VKEY-0xnn. This allows
unknown VKeys to be specified. The same syntax is used in
traces.
* [x3270] Fixed an issue where parameters beyond the second were
ignored in many keymap actions.
* [all] Fixed an issue with the Abort action called from scripts.
* [all Windows] Always find root_certs.txt in the same directory
as the executable, if not installed.
* [all] Validate the parameters to the Transfer() action better.
* [pr3287] Fix the configure script so it properly detects
missing OpenSSL header files, even if the OpenSSL library is
present.
* [all] Limit DFT buffer size to 32767. 32768 causes the host to
send 0-byte buffers.
* [x3270] Dropped support for xmkmf and imake. x3270 builds and
installs only using autoconf paths now.
* see http://x3270.bgp.nu/documentation-relnotes.html for more
detailed list of changes
- Drop no longer needed pr3270-memleak.patch
- Cleanup spec file with spec-cleaner
- Make sure that optflags are used in building

desktop file macros too
- Version update to ga10 of 3.4 series:
* [x3270] Fixed a crash in the Configure Idle Command pop-up.
* [x3270] Fixed an issue with overwriting local files in file transfers.
* [s3270] Fixed an x3270if build problem when libiconv is needed.
* [all] Fixed a problem with truncating the list of LUs when connecting to a
host.
* [all] Fixed a crash when too many parameters are passed to an action in a macro
or script.
* [c3270, wc3270] Fixed binary file transfer bug.
* [x3270] Fixed missing 'Not Connected' message when disconnecting from a host.
* [all] Fixed trace display of incoming IPv6 connections and the parsing of the
x3270 -scriptport option.
* [tcl3270] Added tcl3270 support for Tcl 8.6.
* [all] Renamed $INSTALL variable in the top-level configure script (bugs:15).
- Version bump to 3.4:
* Recreated tarball and build approach so adapt our system
* Fixed a number of warnings found by the MacOS C compiler, which turned out
to be real issues.
* [all] Synchronize the ReadBuffer action with the Wait(Output) action, just
like Ascii and Ebcdic.
* [all] Fixed an NVT-mode emulation problem.
* [all] Fixed a synchronization issue with scripts and file transfers.
* [c3270, wc3270] Fixed a crash when the Transfer action was called from a
script.
* [x3270] Fixed a crash when visible control characters are turned on in
3278 mode.
* [pr3287] Changed the pr3287 Makefile to use $INSTALL_DATA (bugs:#13).
* [All Unix] Added -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE wherever a Makefile used -D_BSD_SOURCE,
to get rid of compiler warnings with newer versions of glibc (bugs:#12).
* [x3270, c3270, wc3270] Corrected the OIA display of save-to-printer pages.
* [c3270, wc3270] Made the help for file-transfer reflect the current
defaults. Added help for Keymap.
* [wc3270] Fixed the pager at the wc3270> prompt. Now it adapts to the size
of the console window correctly.
* [pr3287, wpr3287] Fixed a problem with printer session start-up when both
a specific printer LU and an SSL tunnel (L:) are specified.
* [c3270, wc3270] Added a Keymap action to add or remove temporary keymaps.
The semantics are the same as the x3270 action of the same name.
* [all] Made the parameter to ResumeScript optional, and relaxed the
restrictions on when PauseScript can be used, so it can now be used from
macros and command files read with the Source action.
* [c3270, wc3270] Allow the DFT buffer size to be changed in the c3270/wc3270
file transfer dialog.
* [c3270, wc3270] Allow file transfers to be interrupted with Ctrl-C.
* [x3270] Fixed an issue where the terminal type would not be reported to the
host as IBM-DYNAMIC if the screen was put into oversize mode via a menu
selection (it was correct if oversize came from a resource). Also made sure
that the 'About->Configuration' display of the terminal type is always
correct.
* [all] Added resources to define the default values for each of the IND$FILE
file transfer parameters. The resources have the same names as the Transfer
action keywords, with ft prepended. E.g., the Mode default is controlled by
the ftMode resource. For consistency, deprecated dftBufferSize and
ftCodePage in favor of ftBufferSize and ftWindowsCodePage (the old
resources are still available).
* [all] Added missing functionality to specify the size for avblock TSO file
allocations in IND$FILE file transfers.
* [x3270] Added an aplCircledAlpha resource to allow x3270 to properly
display APL underscored uppercase letters with the APL385 font, by
translating them to the (nonstandard) Unicode circled-alphabetic range
U+24B6 to U+25CF.
* [x3270, c3270, wc3270] Overhauled visible control characters so that field
attributes are completely decoded. Field attributes are now in underlined
yellow in x3270. Added visible control character support to c3270 (also
underlined yellow) and wc3270 (reverse-video yellow), with a menu option.
* [all] Overhauled the build structure. Now there are libraries for common
functions.
* [wc3270] Mapped Alt-left-click onto a lightpen select operation. Added a
lightPenPrimary resource to switch this, so that an unmodified left-click
is a lightpen select and Alt-left-click is a cursor move or copy/paste
highlight.
* [all] Added a B: prefix option to hostnames to disable the automatic
keyboard unlock when a BIND-IMAGE is received.
* [all] Added an -nvt option and an nvtMode resource to force NVT mode as
soon as a session is connected. This overrides the usual behavior of
locking the keyboard and waiting for the host to send NVT-mode data or
negotiate 3270 mode before unlocking. This option also changes the default
terminal type to xterm.
* [c3270] Added a mapping from the Escape key to the Escape() action
(breaking to the c3270> prompt).
* [x3270] Added a maxRecent resource to control the maximum size of the
recent host list in the Connect menu.
* [all] Allow the -scriptport option to specify an address to listen on.
* [all] Added webserver support. The -httpd option starts a webserver
listening on the specified port. The webserver supports a REST API and
some basic HTML objects.
* [all] Removed configurability of tracing, NVT mode, TN3270E support,
scripting, menus file transfer, the x3270 pop-up keypad and printer
sessions (they're always enabled now).
* [x3270, wc3270] Added an overlayPaste toggle. When set, pasting over a
protected field will simply increment the cursor position instead of
locking the keyboard. This allows forms to be copied and pasted with the
protected fields included. Setting this toggle also implicitly sets the
marginedPaste toggle.
* [x3270] Changed the selection logic so that a rectangular selection
(the default for 3270 mode) never ends with a newline character.

It is automatically set for gnome-terminal.
- Changes in version 3.3.12beta9, 13. February 2012
* [all] Added a selfSignedOk resource to allow SSL authentication with hosts that use self-signed certificates.

-----------
A new version 3.1.1.6
x3270 is an IBM 3278/3279 terminal emulator for X windows.
