Fix - Block Cursor

12/12/14

14.2.8

Fix - Lasso text into clipboard was difficult to see the outline of the lassoed area.
Now easier to see on black background with transparency.
Changed default for white background to be no transparency.
(too much transparency makes the lasso outline disappear).
Note that you can reduce the transparency of the window under the Window Menu.

14.2.7

Fix - Opening a dialog window and then dragging that window could cause the dialog window to disappear if MacWise was in the background.

11/4/14

14.2.6

Fix - Prevent the mouse scrollwheel from scrolling MacWise if it is in the background.
The symptom was that the MacWise screen would clear and it would scroll all the way back to the first page in the scroll buffer. This could happen if you were using another app and accidently scrolled the mouse while it was over the inactive MacWise window.

Tested for compatibility with Yosemite

14.2.3

Changed the Default Paste Delay settings for MacWise first time run.
Was zero, which is too fast for some hosts and now is...
1 60th of a second between lines
4 miliseconds between characters.

This matches the settings you get when you click on Reset to Default in the Paste Delay settings under the Edit Menu.
You can change these settings if you wish.

14.2.2

Fix - Copying and pasting from MacWise to another app was not working in Mavericks (just getting a blank screen pasted). Also, with OS 10.5, paste was working but the colors were wrong.

Copying all or part of the screen into the clipboard as a graphic picture is done by holding down the Option key while dragging the mouse accross a section of the screen.
Or when you uncheck "Editable Screen Capture" under the Capture Menu.

5/28/14

Changed the default window size to 18 point font and larger window.

5/11/14

14.2

Fix - Hitting the tab key could freeze MacWise if OS X Keyboard shortcut preferences were set to All Controls" with Full Keyboard Access.
The tab key is used by Cisco console users to auto-complete commands.

4/23/14

14.1.9

Support file name paths that are longer than 256 characters when opening documents under host control.

14.1.8

4/18/14

MacWise can open documents on your Mac under host control.

When the host sends ESC STX P script CR
( where script contains FileExists("FilePathToTheDocument")
MacWise will respond with a 1 or 0

This version of MacWise allows the FilePathToTheDocument to work if the host uses quotes or not.

In other words, FilePathToTheDocument or "FilePathToTheDocument" will both work.
FileExists("BootVolume:MyFile.pdf")
FileExists("UserDesktop:MyFile.pdf")
or
FileExists(BootVolume:MyFile.pd")
FileExists(UserDesktop:MyFile.pdf)

If the file exists you can open it with
ESC STX < "FilePathToTheDocument" CR
or
ESC STX < FilePathToTheDocument CR

14.1.7

4/15/14

Fix - "Keep TCP Connections Alive" updated for Mavericks (under the Special Menu).
Note that when you enter your keep alive minutes, that setting remains active until you reboot your Mac.

Fix - Prevent MacWise minimized windows from popping back up on the screen.

14.1.6

2/3/14

Fix - If multiple windows were open in MacWise and you were moving windows around on the screen, a window could stop responding while you were typing (a rare, intermittent problem)

Fix - If you minimized a window with multiple windows open, and then selected the minimized window from the Window Menu, it would not put a checkmark on the window. It would leave the last active window checked.

14.1.5

1/29/2014

Fix - Flashing cursor was almost invisible when you were using a light blue background.

14.1.4

1/16/14

Fix - Sco Ansi inverse video was not returning to normal video when switching graphics modes.

14.1.2

12/18/13

14.0.9

9/03/2013

8/08/2013

Kermit options are now processed when the connection to the host opens.

(also works for Secure Shell Connections with Kermit)

5/22/2013

14.0.7

Fix -Make sure the serial port count is correct each time you switch to
Modem/Serial in the Connection Menu.
So when you plug in a new device, it will see it instead of having to restart MacWise. (but you must toggle the connection type to make it work)

Added documentation links to the manual for data transfers...
The host computer can control data transfers by using escape sequences recognized by MacWise.
Read the document, "MacWise Special Host-To-Mac Commands here...
http://www.macwise.com/Special_Host_to_Mac_Commands.html

Host-To-Mac and Mac-To-Host File Transfers.
These are text file transfer options that were originally designed for PICK host computers.
They also work with Universe and Unidata hosts. Read the file called "PICK Data Transfers" for detailed instructions. http://macwise.com/PICK%20Data%20Transfers.pdf
The Mac-To-Host File Transfer is a simple text transfer and could be used with any host.

9/27/12

Fix - Keyboard keys, Control Shift 6 now sends ascii code decimal 30 to the host instead of sending a 6

7/27/2012

14.0.1

Fix - Clear key was not working.
How it is used...

VT100 / VT220 mode uses the Clear key as a PF1 function key when the host enables Alternate Keypad mode (or when the user enables Alternate Keypad for VT Emulation in Preferences.
Sometimes the host uses the Clear key as a num lock key.

Wyse 60 / 370 mode uses the Clear key when the user has selected Use keypad for Wyse 60 edit keys.

14.0

Compatible with Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion has a new security feature called Gatekeeper. By default, it prevents you from downloading an application from a developer who does not have a Developer ID registered with Apple.
MacWise version 14 is code signed with the Carnation Software Developer ID and installs effortlessly with the Mountain Lion default GateKeeper security settings.

MacWise version 14 is backwards compatible to Tiger (Mac OS 10.4)
There are now two MacWise version 14 installers. One installer is for the older Tiger operating system. The other is for the newer Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems (OS 10.5 through 10.8).

Fix - Launching a file without a path name was not working with ESC CTRL B < URL CR
It will now use the MacWise folder as it should if no path name is specified.
Also, allows DOS file names with slashes.
Also, supports BootVolume and UserDesktop in path names.Note that you can no longer use Mac file names with a slash in the name.
Example:

PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":"MyFilename" (no path is supplied here so the file would need to be in the MacWise folder.
