This package is the full final release for PuTTY SSH client for
Symbian OS version 1.5.0. This is the first non-beta non-snapshot
release since 1.3.2 was released in January 2005, and is a significant
milestone in the development.
The only change compared to 1.5RC1 is a small palette resource change,
but the code itself has not been modified.
Compared to earlier releases, 1.5 brings significant enhancements:
PuTTY for Symbian OS is based on an up-to-date release of the PuTTY
core from the Windows version, it has a new friendlier settings system
based on profiles, more settings including character set and color
palette selection, and fixes and enhancements on the S60 platform.
This release support all S60 third edition phones and the Series 80 v2
Communicator products. Both versions have essentially identical
features and will be fully supported through bug fixes. However, given
that the user base for S60 is now orders of magnitude larger, new
features may only be availble on S60 in the future. Earlier S60
versions are not supported, and while this version contains some
changes to enable very basic functionality on S60 5th edition, it is
still considered unsupported too.
If you are upgrading from releases earlier than 1.5 beta 2, note that
PuTTY can now use full 256-bit keys with the AES encryption algorithm,
which can slow it down considerably. New profiles will use a faster
128-bit Blowfish algorithm, but existing profiles will need to ben
changed from the SSH settings page to take advantage of this.
Change Log :
- Added profile file import/export to make it easier to manually
configure advanced features
- Incorporated a port forwarding fix from Shai Ayal. This should fix
long-standing bug #918200 and forwarding local ports to the remote
server seems to work. Note that port forwarding is still not
available in the UI and is not officially supported.
- Patches from Damion Yates:
- Backspace setting (Ctrl-H vs Delete)
- Force a 80x24 terminal on an E90 when using a 10x14 font
- Rudimentary LockSize support (not in the UI)
Thanks Damion!
- Potential fix for "Bad Name" errors seen on S60 in some situations.
This should fix bug #1878884.
- Increased the maximum password length from 32 to 64 characters on S60.
