[h3270-devel] h3270 version 1.3.3 released

[Andre S. <sp...@gn...>]

We have just released version 1.3.3 of h3270.  This release introduces a
new keyboard handling model, because several people were unhappy with
the changes we made in 1.3.2 in this area.

In the new model, there is again a global keyboard handler per page, not
on the individual input fields as in version 1.3.2.  With handlers on
the input fields, screens with no input fields at all could not receive
keyboard input.

However, we needed a different model from what we used to have, in order
to accommodate multiple terminal windows in the same session, as it is
in the portlet case.  So the new, global keyboard handlers are installed
dynamically, whenever the mouse cursor enters the terminal area, or when
the user clicks somewhere in that area.  In normal, single-terminal
mode, people shouldn't notice any differences to the previous model at
all.  But when you have multiple terminals open at once, it's
essentially a focus-follows-mouse model.

Feedback on this is always welcome.
