PuTTY for Symbian OS v1.5 beta 1 *update

07 Mar

Posted by mfs in Free mobile cell phone applications |

This package is a fresh beta release of PuTTY SSH client for Symbian
OS based smartphones. As a beta release it is expected to be
reasonably stable, but can still have bugs, missing functionality, and
general rough edges.

The previous beta release, 1.4 beta 1, is now almost two years old,
and there have been a large number of changes since then. To reflect
this, this release has been numbered 1.5 beta 1. For a brief list of
changes, see the “Changes” section below.

Changes:
Main changes since 1.4 beta 1:
- Support for different character encodings, most notably UTF-8
- S80 settings improvements: Settings are stored as profiles, and the
application presents a profile list at startup.
- S60 third edition bug fixes and additional fonts. PuTTY now works
properly on an E90
- Refactored and largely rewritten S60 UI, with a separate profile
list view, proper settings views, no need to exit the application
after each connection etc
- S60 settings brought up to date with S80
- Replaced the “Send” menu with a new grid control. This avoids problems
with multiply nested menus that have appeared on recent S60 3.1
devices, and should also improve usability on non-QWERTY devices
- Lots of bug fixes, UI improvements, and general cleanup
