feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.
Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.
I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.

PuTTY / Plink not to run a remote shell/command at all. Supported in
the GUI configuration and via the (OpenSSH-like) -N command-line
option.
No effort is currently made to arrange `nice' UI properties. If you
do this in GUI PuTTY, a full-size terminal window will still be
created, and will sit there with almost nothing in it throughout
your session. If you do it in Plink, Plink will not accept any kind
of request to terminate gracefully; you'll have to ^C or kill it.
Nonetheless, even this little will be useful to some people...

session data, which is good both for privacy and for reducing the size of
logfiles.

No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

platform-independent source file. Haven't yet added the extra
abstraction routines to uxsftp.c to create a Unix PSCP port, but it
shouldn't take long.
Also in this checkin, a change of semantics in platform_default_s():
now strings returned from it are expected to be dynamically allocated.

box, in that it started to expand under the weight of proxy options.
Now fixed, by folding the SOCKS version selector into the general
proxy type selector so there's one single 5- or 6-way radio button
set split over two lines. settings.c has of course grown a backwards
compatibility wart to deal with legacy config data.

the possibility of an OS that actually takes security of its
terminal devices seriously, and which might be able to make sensible
and safe use of this feature.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.

time! The load code in settings.c was translating an empty string
into "Default Settings" to pass to {win,ux}store, whereas the save
code was passing the empty string straight down and expecting it to
be dealt with. So, a policy decision: the precise name of the
"Default Settings" special session _at the storage level_ is up to
the individual platform storage code to decide, and all platforms
MUST assume Default Settings is meant if they receive NULL or the
empty string as a session name.

opaque to all platform-independent modules and only handled within
per-platform code. `Filename' is there because the Mac has a magic
way to store filenames (though currently this checkin doesn't
support it!); `FontSpec' is there so that all the auxiliary stuff
such as font height and charset and so on which is needed under
Windows but not Unix can be kept where it belongs, and so that I can
have a hope in hell of dealing with a font chooser in the forthcoming
cross-platform config box code, and best of all it gets the horrid
font height wart out of settings.c and into the Windows code where
it should be.
The Mac part of this checkin is a bunch of random guesses which will
probably not quite compile, but which look roughly right to me.
Sorry if I screwed it up, Ben :-)

the various `yes/no/maybe' enums into one common one missed a vital
point: all those enums mapped on to integers in different ways,
which affected the format of stored settings. Arrgh. So now
settings.c contains yet more painful warts and I'm _really_ starting
to think it's about time we designed a new set of human-usable
config keywords and retired this lot to the status of Unpleasant
Backwards-Compatibility Relic.

Everything in there which is integral is now an actual int, which
means my forthcoming revamp of the config box will be able to work
with `int *' pointers without fear of doom.

holdout static I hadn't noticed; unicode.c had one too; and a large
number of statics that were perfectly OK due to being constants have
been made `const', with assorted `const' repercussions all over the
place. I now declare `remove-statics' to be fixed.

and pterm need at least one default setting to be _different_ (pterm
needs the default term type to be `xterm', while plink needs it to
be taken from $TERM). So here's a completely new alternative
mechanism for platform- and app-specific default settings. Ben will
probably want to check the integrity of the Mac port, since I've
fiddled with it without testing that it still compiles.

the default X display should be whatever comes out of $DISPLAY,
rather than Windows's hardwired `localhost:0'. Secondly, this may
give rise to a display name without a hostname (`:0' or similar),
which we now need to be able to deal with. Of course, we still don't
_properly_ support X forwarding in Unix Plink, since we still can't
authenticate with the local display.

SockAddr, which just contains an unresolved hostname and is created
by a stub function in *net.c. It's an error to pass this to most of
the real-meat functions in *net.c; these fake addresses should have
been dealt with by the time they get down that far. proxy.c now
contains name_lookup(), a wrapper on sk_namelookup() which decides
whether or not to do real DNS, and the individual proxy
implementations each deal sensibly with being handed an unresolved
address and avoid ever passing one down to *net.c.

This doesn't include any mkfiles.pl glue, and is missing one or two other
fixes. The terminal emulator is kind of working, though, as, I believe, is
the store module. Everything else is yet to be done.

not -1 (it turns out _most_ X fonts prefer the former, though
irritatingly my favourite real X font used to prefer the latter
which was why I made the X version of my Font Of Choice do so too),
and also clip to the boundaries of the rectangle we should be
drawing text in. This still doesn't completely prevent display
corruption in the case where text drawn in one sweep is partially
overwritten in a future one, but gnome-terminal has this problem
too, and now we've got the right default SB offset _and_ offer the
opportunity to reconfigure it I think this is pretty good for now.

into line with most other xtermalikes. On Unix, the exit code of a
shell is the last exit code of one of its child processes, even if
it's an interactive shell - so some pterms will close and some will
not for no particularly good reason. Power-detaching a screen
session is especially bad for this.
COE_NORMAL is still useful for specialist purposes (running a single
command in its own pterm), but I don't think it's a sane default,
unfortunately.

into the Config structure, though they won't stay there forever
since they will need to be moved out into platform-dependent config.
