Syncterm v1.8rc1 released!

This is the first release candidate for SyncTERM v1.8. If there are no bugs, reported in the next week or two, this will become the official SyncTERM release.

To that end, if you use SyncTERM, please try the rc1 release, and report any bugs you find. If you're not sure if something is a bug, open a support ticket and ask.

Changes since 1.7:
Support encrypted dialing directories
Support web-based main dialing directory
Allow specifying terminal type for each entry
Add support for DECSCUSR
Add support for explicit sort order
Add default cursor style setting
Add support for modifying UIFC colours
Have |# flush RIP immediately
Fix RIP popups using current font
Fix Windows Default Connection Settings
Fix crash associated with movetext() and custom fonts
Fix Windows GDI input hang when a key is held down

Bugs and Support tickets (and feature requests) are tracked on the SourceForge page at http://sf.net/p/syncterm/ if you create a SourceForge account, you can be notified when I reply/fix bugs, and it really helps in case I need to ask follow-up questions, so please consider making that account and logging in before opening a ticket. That said, I would rather have bug reports as anonymous than not know about issues.
