  • Added auto-connect feature.
  • Added the .hex file extension to the "Text Files" file type set (for the "Send Text File" dialog).
  • It is now possible to have default settings loaded at startup and when a new terminal window is opened. If a default.stc settings file exsists in the application folder of CoolTerm, it will be applied to new terminal windows.

  • When a "Send String" window is opened, the text field now receives focus automatically.
  • Improved exception handling and error reporting.
  • Improved behavior of the command history buffer and menu.
  • GUI improvements.

Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug that allowed opening multiple "Save As..." for the same Terminal window dialogs on Windows.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a StackOverflow on serial port errors due to calling port.flush
  • Fixed bug that could cause a crash when sending empty strings via a "Send String" window.
  • (Win) Fixed issue that would allow the terminal window to be activated via the taskbar when the connection options window is open.
