Upgrade to 0.63?

Hi, I just wanted to ask if Kitty will be updated to integrate the improvements of putty 0.63?

upping this! great new features in PuTTY (eg. pasting recognition!)

Cyd - Wed 07/08/2013 18:31:42 CEST +0200

I have been working on it, for 2 months.
But the real problem is the change:
+ Revamped the internal configuration storage system to remove all fixed arbitrary limits on string lengths. In particular, there should now no longer be an unreasonably small limit on the number of port forwardings PuTTY can store (see ewoo.me/zykt1)
It modified almost all source files.

Hy Cyd,

thanks for your hard work. Good to hear that you are already working on it.

Greeting,
Michael

After 2 months of big work, the first 0.63 beta version is available.
This version doesn't support portable mode.
Get it at fosshub mirrors.
Please report me if something is wrong.

geki007 - Mon 12/08/2013 20:21:07 CEST +0200

found 2 bugs:
crash if you change settings in a running session
crash if you start a session with hyperlink setting: "select own regex", type a blank regex ... to disable the feature

geki007 - Mon 12/08/2013 20:46:13 CEST +0200

another one ... there is also no icon support (yet?)!

Cyd - Mon 12/08/2013 21:19:25 CEST +0200

Icon issue already fixed.
About the 2 crashes: I'll look at it tomorrow morning.

Cyd - Tue 13/08/2013 12:21:46 CEST +0200

Beta 2 is available.
Icon issue fixed.
Hyperlink setting crash fixed (blank regex).

Thanks for your reports.

geki007 - Tue 13/08/2013 14:57:33 CEST +0200

thanks!

crash 1 (change settings in running session) isn't fixed, or should it?

geki007 - Tue 13/08/2013 15:01:06 CEST +0200

just a small info:
if you view the details of kitty.exe in explorer you still see "Fileversion 0.62.0.0"

geki007 - Tue 13/08/2013 15:08:46 CEST +0200

thanks for fixing the crash with empty hyperlink setting ... but i think now it uses the default regex if it's empty ... is there a way to disable it?

bad usecase but: crash if hyperlink regex is "()"

Cyd - Tue 13/08/2013 17:56:27 CEST +0200

Beta 3 is available.
Crash when settings change is fixed.
Fileversion is modified.
Sorry for Hyperlink setting issue, but I had to solve it quickly.

Gerhard Wiesinger - Tue 13/08/2013 18:27:09 CEST +0200

Hello Cyd, can you offer a portable beta version, too?
Thnx.

Cyd - Wed 14/08/2013 10:26:10 CEST +0200

Beta 4 is available. Maybe, the very last before the official 0.63 release.
For geki007: regex is now disabled when leaving empty.
Tools kscp, ksftp, kageant, klink are ready.

geki007 - Wed 14/08/2013 13:03:54 CEST +0200

thanks so much, works for me now but there was still something strange with the regex field:
kitty -> configuration
i looked into the first profile: hyperlink was like before (..http|ftp...) cleaned it, saved profile
i looked into my next profile: hyperlink was something like @@@ NO-REGEX

geki007 - Wed 14/08/2013 13:06:46 CEST +0200

another question
can i set the default regex (to empty)?

How do you apply your changes to the original source tree? Seems like you do most of it manually since it took so long to integrate the upstream changes.
I'm sure there is a better way to do this.
Also there is another currently maintained fork Puttytray which you integrated changes from as well. I hate when one can't just keep things centrally managed.

Hi Cyd,
Thanks for your hard work :) While you are at it, can you please change the icon of Kitty Launcher so that it resemble something like Kitty / Putty instead of a big black dot ?

Cyd - Fri 16/08/2013 16:01:30 CEST +0200

Beta 5 is available (the very last):
- portable mode is now operational
- transparency module is rewritten
- new icon for launcher

JanB - Sat 17/08/2013 21:55:22 CEST +0200

Cyd - if you are at it, how hard it would be to add Scrollback buffer search?
For example if you press CTRL+F same window would appear as in Notepad and then once text is found, focus is placed on found word. Kontrol key could be remapable to avoid collision with other programs. Is it too hard to do? Thank you.

Meph0 - Tue 20/08/2013 10:32:51 CEST +0200

I'm having trouble using irssi with the new version. I didn't change any settings other than update KiTTY.exe, but using key combinations such as Alt+1 or Alt+w (both left alt) now produces a character (? and ? respectively) instead of switching windows in irssi. I have this problem using the default kitty settings as well, but not using putty or iSSH. My keyboard layout is US-international with English language.

Skibbi - Tue 20/08/2013 21:17:21 CEST +0200

I'm having the same input issues as Meph0. For example Alt + ? in mc should open search window, but instead I get ? as input.

Skibbi - Tue 20/08/2013 21:23:41 CEST +0200

I think I found a solution to the input issues. Just disable the Set meta bit on alt (instead of escape) in Terminal -> Keyboard settings.

Meph0 - Tue 20/08/2013 22:17:12 CEST +0200

Skibbi, that works, thanks. I was looking at those settings, but since I didn't change them, I didn't touch them. Nice find. Now to update all my saved sessions...

Hi Cyd. Thanks again for your great work. Got a problem with SunOS 5.10 Generic_147440-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210. It just crashes when logging in. Would you please take a look at it?

Cyd - Wed 21/08/2013 17:17:44 CEST +0200

I'm on it for few days. I have not found yet.
It seems it is not a 0.63 issue. I got it with 0.62 too.

whiteHead - Wed 21/08/2013 18:12:50 CEST +0200

Thanks for prompt response. V0.62 works well on SunOS 5.10 on my side. Since it's my gateway, I use it everyday.

nv - Fri 23/08/2013 07:44:00 CEST +0200

"Tools kscp, ksftp, kageant, klink are ready." - ooh? Where? :D

Michael - Wed 04/09/2013 10:17:07 CEST +0200

Thanks a lot for the good work. I've been using the new versions for several weeks without any issues now.
