Hi guys,
This a major release and it has many enhancements with respect to 1.4.x
such as terminal splitting (vertical and horizontal), terminal bonding,
"views", new command line options to add tabs or split existing ones,
text shadow, possibility to detach/attach terminals and much more.
Moreover I fixed also several bugs, especially in terminal emulator
which is now a real VT102.
Features overview:
* SPLITTING
now you can horizontally or vertically split terminals, this
means that you can create in each tabs several tabs
splitting existing ones
* TERMINAL BOND
Now you can bond terminals so that commands you type go
into all the bonded terminals
* VIEWS
A view is a terminal which accepts no input and which shows
output of the "viewed" terminal.
* NEW COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Now you can add terminals (new tabs or hsplit/vsplit) to
current MGT window
or even launch MGT adding new terminals from command line.
* TEXT SHADOW
A a very fine outline is drawn around each character when
the terminal is in "image" mode, improving readability
(as Eterm does).
* ATTACH/DETACH TERMINALS
You can move a terminal from one tab to another one or even
from an MGT window to another on.
Main bugs fixed:
* selecting a word and then extending selection, word
selected got lost
* doing 'make menuconfig' and exiting it resulted in terminal
screen corruption
* doing a "long" ls such as 'ls ~ -R' and interrupting it
pressing CTRL-C one got bad output.
enjoy Cristiano
