Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, An issue with a download link <https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/26044/> had to be resolved before announcing yesterday's release of YAT 2.7.2. YAT 2.7.2 fixes a few bugs and features major internal changes related to source code and testing. After YAT 2.7.0, which upgraded to the latest build integrated source code analyzers, YAT 2.7.2 completes the use of .NET 4.8 and C# 7.3 features and upgrades to a recent version of the NUnit test framework, getting the YAT code base ready for the next steps. **Download and Installation*:* YAT can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/: * x64 installer (~4.5 MB) * x64 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x64 binaries (~3.5 MB) * x86 installer (~4.5 MB) * x86 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x86 binaries (~3.5 MB) When installing YAT 2.7.2, a previous version of YAT will automatically be replaced. *Important changes**:* - Upgrade to NUnit 3.14.0 and the TestCentric 1.6.4 GUI runner (feature request #293). - Various cleanup: NUnit (FR #145), .NET 4+ (FRs #128, #229), assembly naming, field naming,... - Major steps towards availability on Mono/Linux (parts of feature requests #381 and #401). - Assemblies again prefer 64-bit rather then 32-bit execution (regression of YAT 2.5.0). - Use of \todo, \fixme,... tags again unified in source code. *Fixed bugs**:* - Non-100% screen scale issue with [Terminal > Settings... > Text... > Exclusion] fixed (bug #589). - Serial COM port: Handling RTS/DTR pin presets in [Terminal > Settings...] fixed (bug #590). - Serial COM port, USB Ser/HID: Potential Tx delay after XOn eliminated (regression of YAT 2.7.0). *Limitations and known issues**:* - General limitations of .NET Framework: > Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane (U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329). - General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is maximized (bug #488). > Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list, e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402). > Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403). > Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list, e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA" if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text] or [Find] items (bug #347). > Combo box of [Send File] does not have the same color as a button (related to fix of bug #308). > When filling-in [Alt Gr] modified characters, key shortcut underlines may remain (bug #553). > When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel doesn't properly work (bug #412). > Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to implement (feature request #227). > Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to implement (feature request #163). > Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being transmitted and while items are selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance (related to bug #383). > Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485). > 150% or greater primary screen scale doesn't properly work with dialogs only resizable in one dimension. The [New Terminal], [Terminal Settings], [Predefined Commands], [Log Settings], [Command Line Help] and [Release Notes] dialogs are no longer fixed in height or width, i.e. can again be resized in both dimensions (bug #583). Issue reported to Microsoft. > When text is selected, drop down of recent [Send Text] immediately closes again (bug #584). - MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30). > Issue with window list (bug #31). > Issue with layout when closing an MDI child (bug #399). > Issue with layout when resizing the main form (bug #513). - Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework: > Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by .NET (feature request #101). > Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without closing the port may result in port no longer usable. It happens due to bugs in the .NET 'SerialPort' for which Microsoft seems to have no plans fixing. YAT applies several patches to circumvent the issues, some of them require [Terminal > Settings... > ...monitor the port...] being active. If the issue still is observed, refrain from disconnecting a device or undocking or hibernating while a port is open. In case the issue occurs, exiting YAT should be sufficient to force the .NET Runtime to terminate the buggy pieces of code. If not, reconnecting the device should fix the issue. - General serial COM port limitations: > Using high baud rates, e.g. 1 MBaud, without flow control likely results in occasional loss of data due to buffer overruns (related to fix of bug #572). - Limitations of Visual Studio Installer Projects 2022: > While the YAT SVN repository now preserves the time stamps of 3rd party, resources and documentation files, the installer will reset the time stamps to the build time (bug #515). > The installer now requires that all file types have a command assigned (bug #582). - The "\!(PortSettings())" keyword is yet limited to serial COM ports (feature request #71). - USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and significant migration work of implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on unixoids (feature request #119). - Sending immediately does not yet support special formats and commands (feature request #10). - Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] as well as automatic actions and responses based on a text trigger are constrained to handle complete lines. Thus, individual characters incl. control characters like <XOn> as well as incomplete lines will not be displayed until line is complete. - Switching log off may take several seconds, during which YAT is unresponsive (bug #459). See the YAT feature request and bug trackers at https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ for the complete list of limitations and known issues. For hints on how to use YAT, take a look at the screenshots at https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ and browse https://sourceforge.net/p/y-a-terminal/discussion/. Enjoy YAT!

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, Early use of YAT 2.7.0 has revealed two nasty issues related to view scaling <https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/WinForms-application-on-NET-481-does-/10602681/>. Thanks to analysis and verification with alvol <https://sourceforge.net/u/alvolturbo/profile/> and beni-17 <https://sourceforge.net/u/beni-17/profile/> these issues are fixed with YAT 2.7.1, along with few other improvements: *New in **YAT 2.7.1:* - Additional options to format CRC (add-on to feature request #300). * * *Important changes in **YAT 2.7.1:* - [Help > Command Line Help...] added (related to fix of bug #587). *Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.7.1:* - Non-100% primary screen scale issue with [File > New Terminal...] dialog fixed (bug #583). - 225% or greater screen scale 'ArgumentOutOfRangeException' for multiple dialogs fixed (bug #586). - The /tf command line option now supports file path relative to the current directory (bug #587). - Serial COM port: Legacy settings like 150/7/E/0 or 150/7/E/1.5 not supported by a serial port device again result in an error message, rather than trying to reopen the port (bug #585). *Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.7.1:* - Same as previous release, see further below. In addition: - General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > 150% or greater primary screen scale doesn't properly work with dialogs only resizable in one dimension. The [New Terminal], [Terminal Settings], [Predefined Commands], [Log Settings], [Command Line Help] and [Release Notes] dialogs are no longer fixed in height or width, i.e. can again be resized in both dimensions (bug #583).

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, Let me announce the release of YAT 2.7.0: *Highlights:* * Options to append CRC on sending. * Serial COM port throughput improved. * [View > Format...] now provides a few predefined themes. **Download and Installation*:* YAT can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/: * x64 installer (~4.5 MB) * x64 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x64 binaries (~3.5 MB) * x86 installer (~4.5 MB) * x86 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x86 binaries (~3.5 MB) When installing YAT 2.7.0, a previous version of YAT will automatically be replaced. *New in **YAT 2.7.0:* - Option to append CRC on sending. Behavior and CRC can be configured, e.g. CRC-16/Modbus, and new keywords "\!(CRC)" and "\!(NoCRC)" added for sending (feature request #300). - New [File] menu entries to open folder where workspace or terminal file resides (feat. req. #478). - [File > Preferences...] now allows selecting how the format is handled on copying monitor content. Enables copying plain text even if formatting is enabled (bug #574, related to former feat. #346). - [View > Format...] now indicates "formatting per element type" and allows setting the font color and style when formatting per element type is disabled (bug #573). - [View > Format...] now provides a few predefined themes (feature request #349) and the means to define custom themes. [File > New Terminal...] now applies the most recently used theme and font to newly created terminals (related to feature request #349). - New keywords "\!(Stop)", "\!(Close)" and "\!(Exit)" added (feature request #483). - Serial COM port: Half duplex modem handshake added (feature request #485). - Log files can now optionally be placed and/or named by terminal name and/or I/O device, useful when simultaneously logging multiple terminals (feature request #487). *Important changes in **YAT 2.7.0:* - Performance on numeric radices improved (related to feature request #300). - Performance on copying formatted monitor content improved (related to bugs #573, #574, #575). - Serial COM port transmission test coverage significantly improved (related to bug #572). - Serial COM port throughput improved, especially for higher baud rates (related to bug #572). The two above stated improvements have revealed that it is no longer necessary to limit serial COM port buffering by the [Terminal > Settings... > Advanced... > Buffer...] settings by default, i.e. these settings are disabled by default now. Additional settings related to buffers and time-out provide additional means to work around limitations of the .NET Framework's implementation of serial COM ports and certain COM port devices. - Serial COM port: Hardware control signal state can now be preset in terminal setting dialog. - Serial COM port: RS-485 test coverage increased (related to feature request #485). - Serial COM port and USB Ser/HID: Software flow control handling further improved (feat. #481). - TCP/IP and UDP/IP: IPNetwork upgraded to 2.6 (feature request #469). - Source code analysis (FxCop, StyleCop,...) migrated from classic tool based approach to latest build integrated analyzers (feature request #231, incl. feature request #267). *Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.7.0:* - Multi-line [Send Text] now respects a trailing empty line. - [Send Text] again retains cursor position and selection when moving mouse to main menu, toolbar or status bar (bug #566, regression of YAT 2.6.0, related to fix of bug #554). - [Predefined] panel no longer gets cropped when [Hide Undefined Commands] is active (bug #569). - [Predefined > Hide Undefined Commands] is no longer reset when changing layout (rel. to bug #569). - Predefined page navigation is now fully visible also with scaling other than 100 % (bug #568). - [File > Preferences... > ...ask whether to switch to another port] again includes the serial COM port previously active, again enabling use cases where one or multiple devices alternately use the same serial COM port number (feature request #473 follow-up related regression of YAT 2.6.1). - Serial COM port XOff state no longer results in lost data (bug #572, regression of YAT 2.6.0). - Running for days no longer results in an 'OverflowException' of the byte/line counters (bug #576). - Attempt to fix potential 'InvalidOperationException' when running a TCP/IP server heavily connecting and disconnecting clients for hours (bug #567). - [Break lines after time-out] no longer results in a 'NotSupportedException' (bug #570, regression of YAT 2.6.0 improvements in handling leading hidden data like e.g. an initial <XOn>). - On copying monitor content, warning messages at the end of a line no longer appear at the beginning of a line (bug #575). - Custom colors in [View > Format...] are instantly stored in user settings (related to feat. #349). *Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.7.0:* - General limitations of .NET Framework: > Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane (U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329). - General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is maximized (bug #488). > Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list, e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402). > Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403). > Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list, e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA" if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text] or [Find] items (bug #347). > Combo box of [Send File] does not have the same color as a button (related to fix of bug #308). > When filling-in [Alt Gr] modified characters, key shortcut underlines may remain (bug #553). > When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel doesn't properly work (bug #412). > Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to implement (feature request #227). > Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to implement (feature request #163). > Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being transmitted and while items are selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance (related to bug #383). > Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485). - MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30). > Issue with window list (bug #31). > Issue with layout when closing an MDI child (bug #399). > Issue with layout when resizing the main form (bug #513). - Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework: > Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by .NET (feature request #101). > Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without closing the port may result in port no longer usable.

If not, reconnecting the device should fix the issue. - General serial COM port limitations: > Using high baud rates, e.g. 1 MBaud, without flow control likely results in occasional loss of data due to buffer overruns (related to fix of bug #572). - Limitations of Visual Studio Installer Projects 2022: > While the YAT SVN repository now preserves the time stamps of 3rd party, resources and documentation files, the installer will reset the time stamps to the build time (bug #515). > The installer now requires that all file types have a command assigned (bug #582). - The "\!(PortSettings())" keyword is yet limited to serial COM ports (feature request #71). - USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and significant migration work of implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on unixoids (feature request #119). - Sending immediately does not yet support special formats and commands (feature request #10). - Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] as well as automatic actions and responses based on a text trigger are constrained to handle complete lines. Thus, individual characters incl. control characters like <XOn> as well as incomplete lines will not be displayed until line is complete. - Switching log off may take several seconds, during which YAT is unresponsive (bug #459). See the YAT feature request and bug trackers at https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ for the complete list of limitations and known issues.

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, Let me announce the release of YAT 2.6.0, which features a simplified terminal view and a set of various improvements. The view may look unfamiliar at first but the improvement allows more area usable for content; especially noticeable with a workspace containing many terminals. **Download and Installation*:* YAT can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/: * x64 installer (~4.5 MB) * x64 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x64 binaries (~3.5 MB) * x86 installer (~4.5 MB) * x86 installer that includes the .NET runtime (~145 MB) * x86 binaries (~3.5 MB) When installing YAT 2.6.0, a previous version of YAT will automatically be replaced. *New in **YAT 2.6.0:* - Possibility to display a changing value on a single line ("steady line" feature) (bug #546). > Additional automatic action [Overwrite Line on subsequent Rx]. > Text terminals: New option to execute carriage returns when outside EOL, disabled by default. - Additional keyword \!(Break) that breaks sending, same as [Ctrl+B], useful with e.g. predefined commands and automatic responses when [concurrent sending] is allowed (feature request #477). - When a serial COM port gets disconnected, there is a new option to automatically switch to the next available COM port; and the \!(Port()) keyword now supports -1 to automatically select the first available COM port (feature request #473). - UDP/IP terminals now provide a setting to either optimize for speed or retain datagrams. The latter is the default setting; each packet requested by the terminal will be sent as an individual datagram and each datagram received will be shown on an individual line (feature request #472). *Important changes in **YAT 2.6.0:* - Terminal view improved; frames removed. View may look unfamiliar at first. Improvement allows more area usable for content; especially noticeable with a workspace containing many terminals. - [Predefined Commands] panel now shows a vertical scroll bar if required (feature request #474). - [Predefined Commands] panel no longer shows page navigation if only a single page (rel. to #474). - Option to hide menu and toolbar (related to feature request #474). - Improved speed on copying monitor content onto clipboard if formatting is disabled; clipboard will only contain unformatted text in this case (feature request #346). - Handling of keyboard input if not keeping [Text] or for sending immediately improved (related to fix of bugs #548 and #549). - [Terminal > All Terminals Open/Start] added. - TCP/IP server option to limit the number of connections. - TCP/IP AutoSocket servers are now limited to a single connection by default. - UDP/IP and TCP/IP terminal I/O status now shows more details on connection end-points. - Hidden bytes, e.g. initial <XOn>, no longer trigger line begin, e.g. time stamp. - Serial COM port connection monitor now better covers devices which do not properly handle the connection state, e.g. Teensy with Microsoft CDC ACM driver (related to feature request #473). - Additional measures to prevent deadlocked serial COM ports (related to feature request #473). *Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.6.0:* - [Send > Text*] now validates and respects modified [Text] (bug #544). - Activating the toolbar no longer resets modified [Text] (bug #510). - Sending a predefined command no longer resets modified [Text] (bug #549). - Predefined command shortcut [Shift+F3] fixed (bug #548, regression of fix of bug #534). - Change of terminal state no longer resets modified [Text] (related to fix of bugs #548 and #549). - Text terminals: When software flow control is active, <XOn>/<XOff> no longer have an impact on EOL even if EOL is not shown (follow-up of fix of bug #538). - Serial COM port send rate limitation fixed and improved (bug #557, regression of YAT 2.4.0). - Double-clicking a file in a dialog no longer triggers the underneath single-click action in the main menu, toolbar or status bar (bug #554, related to fix of former bug #210). - Control char related labels in settings dialogs no longer use terminal back color (bug #547). - 'NullReferenceException' on switching from TCP/IP to serial COM port fixed (bugs #550 and #555). - Mouse wheel scrolling of combo boxes fixed (bug #558). *Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.6.0:* - General limitations of .NET Framework: > Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane (U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329). - General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is maximized (bug #488). > Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list, e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402). > Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403). > Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list, e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA" if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text] or [Find] items (bug #347). > Combo box of [Send File] does not have the same color as a button (related to fix of bug #308). > When filling-in [Alt Gr] modified characters, key shortcut underlines may remain (bug #553). > When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel doesn't properly work (bug #412). > Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to implement (feature request #227). > Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to implement (feature request #163). > Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being transmitted and while items are selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance (related to bug #383). > Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485). - MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30). > Issue with window list (bug #31). > Issue with layouting when closing an MDI child (bug #399). > Issue with layouting when resizing the main form (bug #513). - Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework: > Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by .NET (feature request #101). > Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without closing the port may result in the port no longer being usable.

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT,
Taking way longer than expected, interrupted by various unexpected
events, YAT 2.5.0 at least made it before the end of 2022. Kind of X-mas
present.
*Highlight:*
* Rather than highlighting specific features, the highlight is the
amount of smaller and bigger changes that resulted in versioning
this release 2.5.0 rather than 2.4.2.
**Download and Installation*:*
YAT can be downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/:
* x64 installer (4.5 MB)
* x64 installer that includes the .NET runtime (145 MB)
* x64 binaries (3.5 MB)
* x86 installer (4.5 MB)
* x86 installer that includes the .NET runtime (145 MB)
* x86 binaries (3.5 MB)
When installing YAT 2.5.0, a previous version of YAT will automatically
be replaced.
*New in **YAT 2.5.0:*
- Text terminals: Additional options to...
...configure treatment of extended ASCII characters 0x80..FF (feature
request #448).
...hide or replace control and/or extended ASCII characters by a
placeholder (feature req. #459).
...hide <CR> and/or <LF> outside EOL. Useful with mixed EOL, e.g.
devices with <CRLF> and <LFCR>.
In such case, EOL can now be set to <LF> while <CR> can be hidden
(feat. req. #449, bug #521).
- Option to show the time delta among selected monitor lines.
- Additional keywords \!(LogOn|Off|Toggle) allowing to change logging
on-the-fly (feat. req. #446).
- Additional option to enclose separated content, e.g. "[58h]" for
"58h". (feat. req. #447).
- Additional automatic actions [Filter Content] and [Suppress Content]
(related to bug #521),
enabling filtering/suppressing e.g. ANSI escape sequences (predefined
regular expression added).
- Binary terminals: Byte send delay added (related to analysis of bug #528).
- IP networking: DNS preference for IPv6 added to [File > Preferences >
...] (related to bug #529).
- Script to convert Docklight settings files (.ptp) to YAT (.yat)
(feature request #429),
available at
https://sourceforge.net/p/y-a-terminal/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/YATTools/Settings/.
*Important changes in **YAT 2.5.0:*
- ASCII related settings moved from [Terminal > Settings... >
Advanced...] to
[Terminal > Settings... > Text...] (related to feature requests #448,
#449, #459 and bug #521).
- ASCII control characters now also use the control format in
Bin/Oct/Dec/Hex radix. This enables
coloring them differently than non-control characters also in
Bin/Oct/Dec/Hex radix.
- ASCII control character replacement setting [Character] migrated to
[Symbol Character] resulting
in displaying as Unicode symbols U+2400..241F as well as U+2421 (bug
#517, feature request #34).
- ASCII control character treatment (display/execute/replace/hide) test
coverage improved.
- Text terminals: Encoding related improvements (ordering, ASCII
compatibility).
- Binary terminals: Now by default using .NET's [Encoding.Default] that
corresponds to the system's
default ANSI code page, e.g. Windows-1252 in Western Europe, for
parsing of [Send Text|File].
- Serial COM ports and USB Ser/HID: XOn/XOff counts are now preserved
when changing settings.
- Serial COM ports: Control pin and break counts are now preserved when
changing settings.
- Accuracy of time stamps on sending improved for all I/O types (bug
#514) and
accuracy of time stamps on receiving improved for UDP/IP sockets
(feature request #442).
- UDP/IP server now supports filtering with CIDR or wildcard notation
(related to bug #495).
- Tooltips of send buttons no longer show unlimited large data (bug #535).
- Send buttons again show the file path (leftover of bug #308, feature
request #458).
- [Send Text|File] buttons now toggle to [Break Sending] while sending
of e.g. files or repeating
commands is ongoing (feature request #445).
- Automatic actions [Highlight], [Filter] and [Suppress] renamed to [...
Line] for obviousness and
distinction with newly added [Filter Content] and [Suppress Content]
(related to bug #521).
- Option to immediately start logging when creating a new terminal
(related to bug #539).
- Major settings dialogs now indicate the corresponding main menu icon.
- Terminal specific settings dialogs now indicate the terminal name
(related to bug #539).
- System error messages and standard message box buttons in English
rather than locale (bug #66).
- Upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 (feature request #441).
- Build details refined (feature request #437):
> The build ID now represents the SVN revision and thus is an
incremental value across versions.
> Visual Studio projects switched to deterministic builds, enabling
identical compilation output
across multiple builds for identical inputs.
- App.config file time stamps now reflect the build time of the binaries
(bug #515).
- 3rd party use of YAT assemblies, e.g. with PowerShell or CS-Script,
product name and version now
reflect the YAT name and version rather than the 3rd party
executable's. Especially applies to
name and version stated when writing settings files (related to
feature request #429).
*Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.5.0:*
- [Send Text] shortcuts [F3] and [Ctrl+F3] now reflect modified text
(bug #534).
- Scaling problem of [Predefined Commands] panel on non-100 % scaling
fixed (bugs #522 and #524).
- Text terminals:
> Wait for response now always resets clearance when terminal is
closed/reopened (bug #523).
> Treatment of backspace fixed for UTF-16/32 (related to ASCII
control character improvements).
> Handling of adjacent EOL character(s) fixed for UTF-16/32 Big-Endian.
> When software flow control is active, <XOn>/<XOff> no longer have
an impact on EOL (bug #538).
- Serial COM port break state handling fixed and improved:
> Output break state count is immediately incremented.
> Input break state immediately gets restored on first chunk received.
> Input break state count should be incremented only once on all
ports/hardware.
> Break state is indicated in terminal I/O status.
> Test coverage enhanced.
- IP networking: Use of host name no longer results in "[broadcast] ..."
error message (bug #529).
- UDP/IP server filtering now also works on matching address and filter
bit masks (bug #495).
- Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] no longer erroneously
suppress Tx content (bug #519).
- Double-click on [connect time] or [bytes | lines] again properly
resets the counters (bug #533).
- [Terminal > Select All] now happens instantly even with very many
lines (bug #461).
- ASCII control character replacement setting [Character] no longer
results in a
'TargetInvocationException' (bugs #517 and #521).
- 'ArgumentOutOfRangeException' caused by 'ComboBoxHelper' fixed.
*Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.5.0:*
- General limitations of .NET Framework:
> Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane
(U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329).
- General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is
maximized (bug #488).
> Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list,
e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402).
> Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403).
> Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list,
e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA"
if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text]
or [Find] items (bug #347).
> Combo box of [Send File] does not have the same color as a button
(related to fix of bug #308).
> When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel
doesn't properly work (bug #412).
> Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to
implement (feature request #227).
> Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to
implement (feature request #163).
> Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being
transmitted and while items are
selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance
(related to bug #383).
> Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
> Issue with layouting when closing an MDI child (bug #399).
> Issue with layouting when resizing the main form (bug #513).
- Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework:
> Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by
.NET (feature request #101).
> Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without
closing the port may result
in the port no longer being usable. It happens due to a bug in the
.NET 'SerialPort' class for
which Microsoft only has vague plans fixing. To prevent the issue,
refrain from disconnecting a
device or undocking or hibernating while a port is open. In case
the issue occurs, exiting YAT
should be sufficient to force the .NET Runtime to terminate the
buggy piece of code. If not,
disconnecting the device or rebooting the computer should fix the
issue.
- Limitation of Visual Studio Installer Projects 2022:
> While the YAT SVN repository now preserves the time stamps of 3rd
party, resources and
documentation files, the installer will reset the time stamps to
the build time (bug #515).
- The \!(PortSettings()) keyword is yet limited to serial COM ports
(feature request #71).
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and
significant migration work of
implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on
unixoids (feature request #119).
- Direct send text mode does not yet support special formats and
commands (feature request #10).
- Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] as well as automatic actions
and responses based on a
text trigger are constrained to handle complete lines. Thus,
individual characters incl. control
characters like <XOn> as well as incomplete lines will not be
displayed until line is complete.
- Switching log off may take several seconds, during which YAT is
unresponsive (bug #459).
See the YAT feature request and bug trackers at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ for the complete list of
limitations and known issues. For hints on how to use YAT, take a look
at the screenshots at https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ and

Enjoy YAT!

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, YAT 2.4.1 features some improvements and fixes the issues revealed in YAT 2.4.0. **Download and Installation*:* YAT can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/: * x64 installer (8 MB) * x64 installer that includes the .NET runtime (140 MB) * x64 binaries (3 MB) * x86 installer (8 MB) * x86 installer that includes the .NET runtime (140 MB) * x86 binaries (3 MB) When installing YAT 2.4.1, a previous version of YAT will automatically be replaced. *New in **YAT 2.4.1:* - Quick reference (PDF) added. Accessible via [Windows > Start > YAT] and [YAT > Help]. - [Find All] added, with shortcut [Alt+Shift+L], incl. live update (feature requests #424 and #434). *Important changes in **YAT 2.4.1:* - YAT now checks whether the DejaVu monospaced font is available, and whether a monospaced font is used for the terminals. The user gets warned if either is not given (feature request #341). - [View > Format... > Font...] now by default only shows monospaced fonts (related to req. #341). - Parser now supports the non-standard but common C-style '\e'. - Behavior on multi-byte character set decoding mismatch can now be configured in the terminal settings [Terminal > Settings... > Text...] (feature request #436). - Separate colors for warnings and errors (related to feature request #436). On existing terminals, separate colors will have to be explicitly activated by [View > Format... > Defaults...]. - Find text can now automatically be set by either selecting a line in a monitor or by selecting the whole or parts of a line in [Copy of Active Line] (related to feature requests #424 and #434). - Log dialog now more clearly states "root directory and file name base" (part of feat. req. #435). - Help window is again sizeable to display more/all content (related to earlier feature req. #237). - Command line argument errors are better reported now (bug #503). - Builds reverted from 'x64' to 'Any CPU' for providing compatibility with MSIL projects that make direct use of YAT/MKY/OxyPlot/RtfWriter/ALAZ assemblies (bug #507, related to recent upgrade to .NET Runtime 4 and .NET Framework 4.8 (feature request #229)). *Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.4.1:* - Handling of missing log file folder fixed. - Issues when backspace was preceded by space(s) fixed. - [broadcast] recently selected for UDP/IP remote host is no longer listed for TCP/IP (bug #508). - Handling of trigger of automatic actions and responses fixed and improved (bugs #504 and #505). - Plotting no longer takes time stamp and other meta info into account (bug #509). The option will again become available in a dedicated action/response configuration dialog (future feature #431). - Plot window related 'NullReferenceException' when closing YAT fixed. *Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.4.1:* - General limitations of .NET Framework: > Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane (U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329). - General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is all-English (bug #66). > Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is maximized (bug #488). > Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list, e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402). > Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403). > Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list, e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA" if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text] or [Find] items (bug #347). > When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel doesn't properly work (bug #412). > Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to implement (feature request #227). > Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to implement (feature request #163). > Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being transmitted and while items are selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance (related to bug #383). > Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485). - MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30). > Issue with window list (bug #31). > Issue with layouting when closing an MDI child (bug #399). - Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework: > Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by .NET (feature request #101). > Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without closing the port may result in the port no longer being usable. It happens due to a bug in the .NET 'SerialPort' class for which Microsoft only has vague plans fixing.

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT,
Finally, the release of YAT 2.4.0 is complete. Though way later than
expected, partly thanks to the recent anomalies, partly due to the
refactorings needed for the upcoming scripting feature. On the other
hand, YAT 2.4.0 also turned out much more feature rich than initially
planned.
*Highlights:*
* Sending/Receiving has completely been refactored:
o Unidirectional Tx and Rx panels now use a separate line
detection mechanism and no longer break lines at the same
location as the bidirectional panel.
o Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] now also work for
continuous data.
o Support for concurrent sending, when enabled, multiple commands
can be active simultaneously.
o Performance further improved, 50 KiBytes/s can now be achieved
with any of the typical terminal configurations.
o Text terminals: Line content and EOL are no longer sent in two
separate chunks.
o Text terminals: Option to glue characters of a line together,
enabled by default, resulting in fewer line breaks when sending
and receiving in full-duplex.
o Text terminals: Option to wait for response, disabled by
default, resulting in request and response being displayed
adjacently for sure.
o Binary terminals: Lines are no longer broken each 16 bytes by
default, they now by default are broken on every chunk.
o Automated testing of sending/receiving significantly improved.
* Text terminals: Now by default using UTF-8 encoding.
* TCP/IP Clients: Auto-reconnect now also works in corner-case situations.
* Plotting live data: See
https://sourceforge.net/p/y-a-terminal/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/YAT/!-Doc.Project/4%20-%20Implementation/Auto%20Action%20Plot/
for demo videos.
o New automatic actions [Plot Byte Count/Rate], [Plot Line
Count/Rate], [Line Chart], [Scatter Plot] and [Histogram].
Plotting required the upgrade to .NET Runtime 4 and .NET Framework 4.8.
And .NET 4.8 requires at least Windows 7. Thus, YAT is no longer usable
on Windows XP (outphased 2014 anyway).
**Download and Installation*:*
YAT 2.4.0 can be downloaded at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/:
* x64 (8 MB)
* x64 including .NET redistributable (140 MB)
* x64 binaries (3 MB)
* x86 (8 MB)
* x86 including .NET redistributable (140 MB)
* x86 binaries (3 MB)
When installing YAT 2.4.0, a previous version of YAT will automatically
be replaced.
*New in **YAT 2.4.0:*
- USB Ser/HID now takes the HID usage page and ID into account, allowing
working with devices that
implement multiple usages (e.g. a standard interface and a firmware
upgrade interface) (bug #480).
- Support for concurrent sending, i.e. multiple commands can be active
simultaneously (feat. #387).
Useful e.g. for sending a text command while a repeating text command
is already ongoing.
Can be enabled at [Terminal > Settings... > Advanced... > Send >
Allow concurrent sending].
- Text terminals: Option to glue characters of a line together, enabled
by default, resulting in
fewer line breaks when sending and receiving in full-duplex (related
to feat. #19 and bug #176).
- Text terminals: Option to wait for response, resulting in request and
response being displayed
adjacently. Useful for sending multi-line commands and files with
ping-pong-style command sets
(feature request #19 and bug #176).
Note for serial COM ports: In order to only limit the send rate, YAT
offers other settings, e.g.
[Terminal > Settings... > Advanced... > Send > Buffer not more than
baud rate permits] which
limits the send rate and lets an active hardware or software flow
control do its job even for
small buffers and large amount of data.
- Content separator can now be configured. Useful for e.g. displaying or
logging hex data without
separating spaces, e.g. "414243", using [None]. Separator format can
now also be configured.
- Additional keyword \!(TimeStamp) allowing injection of current
date/time (feature request #400).
Format according to [View > Format Settings... > Options > Time Stamp].
Useful for e.g. sending "AT+DATE=20 01 01 12 00 00".
- Additional keyword \!(Port()) allowing to change the serial COM port
on-the-fly (feat. req. #403).
Especially useful as predefined command e.g.
"\!(Port(10))\!(NoEOL())" to change port by shortcut.
- Additional keywords \!(RtsOn|Off|Toggle) and \!(DtrOn|Off|Toggle)
allowing to change serial COM
port signals on-the-fly (feature request #408). Also work with
predefined commands and shortcuts.
- Additional option to disable warnings like "XOff state, retaining
data..." on sending.
- Automatic actions and responses now support multiple triggers within a
line or chunk.
- Automatic actions and responses now support text triggers, optionally
incl. regular expression.
- Automatic actions and responses now list recent used trigger and
response texts.
- Automatic responses now support injection of trigger captures, given
regular expression is used.
- New automatic actions [Plot Byte Count/Rate] and [Plot Line Count/Rate].
- New automatic actions [Line Chart], [Scatter Plot] and [Histogram].
*Important changes in **YAT 2.4.0:*
- High FTDI and Prolific baud rates added to list of standard baud rates
(feature request #398).
- Using term "I/O" instead of "Port" for terminal, settings,... for
reducing mix-up of term in YAT
with TCP and UDP "Port" terminology, where a "Port" only is a part of
the overall "I/O" subsystem.
- Text terminals: Now by default using UTF-8 instead of .NET's
[Encoding.Default] that is limited to
an ANSI code page, e.g. Windows-1252 in Western Europe (related to
former bugs #427, #428, #429).
- Sending refactored (precondition for feature requests #19, #333, #387
and fix of bug #176).
- Text terminals: Line content and EOL is no longer sent in two separate
chunks (feature req. #333).
- Element and line processing refactored (precondition for feature
requests #19, #366, #367 and fix
of bugs #176, #371, #477, #478 as well as preparing upcoming feature
request #74).
- Unidirectional Tx and Rx panels now use a separate line detection
mechanism and no longer break
lines at the same location as the bidirectional panel (bugs #371 and
#477).
- [Monitor Context Menu > Clear] no longer clears all panels
(Tx/Bidir/Rx), just the selected. Use
[Main Menu > Terminal > Clear [All]] or [Ctrl+L] to clear all panels
(related to change above).
[Main Menu > Terminal > All Terminals Clear] or [Ctrl+E] to clear all
terminals (feat. req. #392).
- User saved workspace file name is indicated in title bar (feature
request #416).
- Binary terminals: Lines are no longer broken each 16 bytes by default,
they now by default are
broken on every chunk (related to bug #477).
- Consequently, chunk line break settings are now located in the
text/binary specific dialog.
- Comma and semicolon added to list of predefined EOL sequences (feature
request #409).
- Option to hide undefined predefined commands (feature request #410).
- Option to [Copy Text / File Path to Clipboard] (bug #493).
- Possibility to clear lists of recent files and [Send Text|File] commands.
- Adaptive monitor update rate further improved.
- Calculation of byte/line rates improved.
- For Bin/Oct/Dec/Hex/Unicode radix:
> Performance significantly improved (feature request #406).
> ASCII control characters are no longer converted to mnemonics.
- Option to not send XOn when opening a serial COM port or USB Ser/HID
terminal (feat. req. #393).
- TCP/IP connection state management improved in terms of stress resilience.
- TCP/IP segment payload size limited to the safe maximum of 516 (IPv4)
or 1220 octets (IPv6).
- UDP/IP datagram payload size limited to the safe maximum of 508 (IPv4)
or 1212 octets (IPv6).
- IPv6 support enabled for UDP/IP terminals (feature request #372).
- Changes on-the-fly by keywords like \!(Port()), \!(PortSettings()),
\!(Baud()),... are now
reflected in the terminal settings, i.e. also indicated by '*'
(related to reqs. #71 and #403).
- [Terminal > Settings... > Advanced...] dialog rearranged for better
fitting screen.
- Upgrade to .NET Runtime 4 and .NET Framework 4.8 (part of feature
request #229, precondition for
new automatic actions [Chart/Plot/Histogram] and upcoming feature
request #74 [Scripting]).
Consequently, x64 distributions no longer need to be 'AnyCPU' builds
(former limitation).
- Improved error message in case the required version of .NET is missing.
- Additional command line option [--version]. Better command line
message box (feature req. #383).
- Project/Assembly structure slightly refined (preparing upcoming
feature request #74).
- Test coverage of sending and processing significantly increased
(related to refactorings above).
*Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.4.0:*
- Predefined command description gets updated when multi-line command
gets changed (bug #481) and
default description no longer gets saved in settings file.
- Predefined command description is kept when filled-in before command
(bugs #472, #476, #499).
- Issue with not shown predefined commands when defining more than 12
predefined commands fixed.
- Layout of predefined commands can now also be changed on a new
terminal that doesn't contain
commands yet (related to previous feature requests #28, #257, #365).
- Import/Paste of a .yacp command page file that contains more
predefined commands than currently
configured now behaves correctly (bug #479, related to previous
feature requests #28, #257, #365).
- Explicit default radix is no longer reset to [String] when multiple
predefined command pages are
being defined (bug #492).
- Recent TCP/IP and UDP/IP ports, remote hosts and local filters are
remembered again (related to
former feature request #273).
- TCP/IP client terminals now also try to automatically reconnect within
configured timeout even in
case the server resets an initial SYN and times out a subsequent SYN
request (bug #487).
- Automatic actions and responses now work chunk independently (feature
request #366).
- Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] now also work for continuous
data (bug #478) and on
refresh (feature request #367).
- The time information of a line is no longer defined by hidden bytes
like e.g. an initial XOn.
- Line break detection and processing continues even when exceeding the
configured maximum number
of characters/bytes per line (related to refactoring of element and
line processing).
- Sending of very long lines now also works for TCP/IP based terminals
(bug #340).
- Sending of very long lines in other terminal types (in case of e.g.
serial COM ports longer than
the software buffer, typically 2048 bytes) works again (bug #417).
- Handling of [Preferences... > ...take serial number/string into
account] fixed (rel. to bug #480).
- Consequence of .NET upgrade (former limitations of .NET Runtime 2 and
.NET Framework 3.5):
> System display scaling other than 100% (96 DPI) no longer result
in minor distortions on Win 7
(bugs #85, #235, #375) nor some blurring on Win 8 and above
(feature request #310).
> Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without
closing the port should
no longer result in an 'ObjectDisposedException' or
'UnauthorizedAccessException' (bugs #224,
#254, #293, #316, #317, #345, #382, #385, #387, #401, #442) and
should neither result in
deadlocks anymore, though not all potential causes for this issue
in the .NET 'SerialPort'
class could be verified.
> Running YAT for a long period, or creating many terminals, no
longer results in memory leaks,
previously resulting in gradual increase of memory consumption
(RAM) (bugs #243, #263, #336).
*Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.4.0:*
- General limitations of .NET Framework:
> Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane
(U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329).
- General limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is
all-English (bug #66).
> Main window status bar tooltips may flicker in case window is
maximized (bug #488).
> Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list,
e.g. [Find Pattern] (bug #402).
> Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403).
> Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list,
e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA"
if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text]
or [Find] items (bug #347).
> When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel
doesn't properly work (bug #412).
> Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to
implement (feature request #227).
> Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to
implement (feature request #163).
> Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being
transmitted and while items are
selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance
(related to bug #383).
> Link label text rendering issues after plotting (bug #485).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
> Issue with layouting when closing an MDI child (bug #399).
- Serial COM port limitations of .NET Framework:
> Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by
.NET (feature request #101).
> Use of serial COM ports on disconnect, undock or hibernate without
closing the port may result
in the port no longer being usable. It happens due to a bug in the
.NET 'SerialPort' class for
which Microsoft only has vague plans fixing. To prevent the issue,
refrain from disconnecting a
device or undocking or hibernating while a port is open. In case
the issue occurs, exiting YAT
should be sufficient to force the .NET Runtime to terminate the
buggy piece of code. If not,
disconnecting the device or rebooting the computer should fix the
issue.
- The \!(PortSettings()) keyword is yet limited to serial COM ports
(feature request #71).
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and
significant migration work of
implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on
unixoids (feature request #119).
- Direct send text mode does not yet support special formats and
commands (feature request #10).
- Automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] as well as automatic actions
and responses based on a
text trigger are constrained to handle complete lines. Thus,
individual characters incl. control
characters like <XOn> as well as incomplete lines will not be
displayed until line is complete.
- Switching log off may take several seconds, during which YAT is
unresponsive (bug #459).
See the YAT feature request and bug trackers at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ for the complete list of
limitations and known issues. For hints on how to use YAT, take a look

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, it's my pleasure to announce YAT 2.1.0
I considered naming the release "Harry Potter" (those of you I have
recently seen know why) but discarded the idea for not running into
brand/copyright troubles. While I got a bruise, YAT 2.1.0 itself is
supposed to not be affected ;-)
YAT 2.1.0 comes with more than initially intended. *Highlights:*
* Reorder, cut/copy/paste, export/import and even link predefined
commands.
* On-the-fly changing communication settings, e.g. "\!(Baud(115200))".
* Fixed support for non-Unicode DBCS/MBCS encodings.
* Feature to filter or suppress lines of a given pattern.
**Download and Installation*:*
YAT 2.1.0 can be downloaded from YAT's SourceForge web page
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. Packages can be
downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/:
* x64 (8 MB)
* x64 including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x64 binaries (3 MB), e.g. for compatibility with Windows XP
* x86 (8 MB)
* x86 including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x86 binaries (3 MB), e.g. for compatibility with Windows XP
When installing YAT 2.1.0, a previous version of YAT will automatically
be replaced.
*New in **YAT 2.1.0:*
- Predefined commands can now be reordered (feature requests #376 and
#379), cut/copy/pasted via
clipboard, exported/imported to a single page .yacp or complete set
of pages .yacps file (feature
reqs. #28, #257, #365), and even linked to one or multiple single
page .yacp file(s) (feat. #29).
- Option to show more predefined commands (24, 36, 48, 72, 108) (feature
requests #256, #344).
- Additional keyword \!(PortSettings()) that allows re-configuring the
port settings before or after
sending data; and dedicated keywords \!(Baud()), \!(DataBits()),
\!(Parity()), \!(StopBits()) and
\!(FlowControl()) to change a dedicated port setting on-the-fly
(feature request #71, partly
related to former request #321 implemented since YAT 1.99.80). Useful
for e.g. sending commands
that let a connected device change its baud rate. See [Help >
Contents...] for example usage.
- Additional automatic actions [Filter] and [Suppress] added (feature
requests #347 and #382).
Useful to exclusively display a pattern in the monitor, or suppress a
pattern.
- Additional automatic action [Clear Monitor on Subsequent Receiving]
added (feature request #357).
Useful for screen/page synchronization on terminal-emulation-like
behavior.
- Additional option [View > Show Duration (Line)] (feature request #348).
- Additional terminal option [Include Port Control Events] (feature
request #350).
- Additional log channel [Log Port Control] (related to feature request
#350).
- Text terminals: Additional options to control line break:
> Length line break (feature request #224).
Useful to limit the number of characters displayed per line, i.e.
"word wrap".
Useful to communicate with devices that do use text messages but
no EOL sequence.
> Timed line break (feature request #340).
Also useful to communicate with devices that do use text messages
but no EOL sequence.
- Text terminals: Additional option to let bell (0x07) beep (related to
feature request #308).
- Text terminals: Backspaces (0x08) are treated as backspaces by default
(feature request #308).
Note that tabs have already been treated as tabs by
default since YAT 1.99.22.
*Important changes in **YAT 2.1.0:*
- UDP/IP now supports sending to and receiving from broadcast addresses
(feature request #370).
- Serial COM port again uses the term RTS (Ready To Send) as that is
still most commonly used.
In addition, notes/hints on terms RTR (Ready To Receive) as well as
RFR (Ready For Receiving).
- Serial COM port and USB Ser/HID terminals by default hide XOn/XOff
flow control characters for
'Software' and 'Combined' (related to earlier feature request #190,
#206, #226 and bug #319).
Note that 'Manual Software' and 'Manual Combined' still show the
XOn/XOff characters by default
but can optionally be hidden (earlier feature request #190).
- USB Ser/HID device list no longer potentially shows weird
manufacturer, product or serial strings;
neither does it show duplicated devices anymore.
- Errors are now indicated in square "[...]" instead of angle "<...>"
brackets (rel. to feat. #350).
- Prevention of potential handling error when copying data to clipboard
(feature request #345).
- Unicode/Non-Unicode multi-byte encoding test coverage improved
(related to bugs #427, #428, #429).
- No longer using [Ctrl+Alt+<CharOrDigit>] shortcuts to avoid conflicts
with [Alt Gr] modifier as
[Ctrl+Alt] results in [Alt Gr] on Windows (feature request #359). As
a consequence:
> Shortcuts to activate predefined command page changed from
[Ctrl+Alt+1..9] to [Ctrl+1..9].
> Shortcuts to change window layout changed from [Ctrl+Alt+...] to
[Alt+Shift+...].
> Shortcuts to [Find Next] changed from [Ctrl+Alt+F] to [Alt+Shift+N].
and [Find Previous] changed from [Alt+Shift+F] to [Alt+Shift+P].
- Shortcuts to select panels no longer conflict with those to select
menus (feature request #355).
> Shortcut of [Send Text] changed to [Alt+E] to distinguish from
shortcut of [Terminal] menu.
> Shortcut of [Send File] changed to [Alt+I] to distinguish from
shortcut of [File] menu.
> Shortcut to [Monitor] added as [Alt+M].
- Text terminals: Refactoring and refinement of EOL handling (related to
feature requests #224,
#340 and #347). Any sequence and mix of received and sent characters
(even quite exotic ones)
should now be correctly handled and displayed. Corresponding test
coverage enlarged.
- Text terminals: Option to show length as number of characters (related
to feature request #224).
*Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.1.0:*
- Non-Unicode multi-byte encodings (e.g. GBK, GB18030, Shift-JIS,...)
fixed (bugs #427, #428, #429).
- 'OverflowException' in case of missing closing parentheses in [Send
Text] fixed (bug #426).
- Exception when trying to open terminal on non-standard port (e.g.
"COM", "ABC") fixed (bug #416).
- Handling of potential 'ObjectDisposedException' when disconnecting
USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC)
without closing the serial COM port now also handles potential
'UnauthorizedAccessException'
(bug #442, related to former bugs #224, #254, #293, #316, #317, #345,
#382, #385, #387, #401).
- [Remote Host] and [Local Filter] selection again show the common items
(rel. to feat. req. #370)).
- [Send > Skip Empty Line on [Send File]] no longer accidentally
restricts [Send Text].
- Problem with escape sequences in automatic action/response fixed (bug
#424).
- Tool bar items no more flicker on automatic action/response trigger
(related to bug #424).
- 'ArgumentOutOfRangeException' when deleting a sole predefined command
page fixed (bug #440).
- 'SplitterDistance' value related 'ArgumentException' fixed (bugs #414,
#418, #419, #420, #421,
#422, #423, #432, #434, #435, #441, #443, #444, #450, #452, #453,
#456, #461, #467, #468, #474,
#475) which further refines the fix to former bugs #408 and #409.
- Attempted to fix rare 'TargetInvocationException' caused by
'IndexOutOfRangeException' (bug #446).
- [View > Show Time Span] is no longer reset when changing terminal
settings (bug #436).
- [View > Show Time Span/Delta] are no longer swapped (bugs #431, #449,
#458).
- [Advanced Settings > Disable escapes on [Send Text]] no longer leads
to an 'ArgumentException'
in some cases (bug #454).
- Shortcuts [Ctrl+Shift+F1..F12] 'Copy to Send Text' fixed.
- Option to set default radix for predefined commands fixed.
- Command line option [TransmitText] again allows keywords (related to
bug #454).
- Optional user name of terminal is again taken into account (bug #415).
- [Help > Release Notes] fixed for YATConsole.exe (bug #413).
- Binary terminals: Synchronization on timed line break added (related
to feature request #340).
*Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.1.0:*
- x64 distributions are 'AnyCPU' builds due to limitations of VS2015 on
.NET 3.5 SP1 (feat. #229).
- General imitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> System display scaling other than 100% (96 DPI) results in minor
distortions on Win 7 and
before (bugs #85, #235, #375) and some blurring on Win 8 and above
(feature request #310).
The latter will be fixed with upgrading to .NET 4.7+ (feature
request #229).
> System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is
all-English (bug #66).
> Tool strip combo box slightly flickers when updating item list,
e.g. 'Find Pattern' (bug #402).
> Combo box cannot restore some corner-case cursor positions (bug #403).
> Combo box text is compared case insensitively against item list,
e.g. "aa" is changed to "AA"
if that is contained in the item list, e.g. the recent [Send Text]
or 'Find' items (bug #347).
> When [Send Text] or [Send File] is hidden, resizing the panel
doesn't properly work (bug #412).
> Automatic completion for e.g. [Send Text] is not feasible to
implement (feature request #227).
> Automatic horizontal scrolling of monitors is not feasible to
implement (feature request #163).
> Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being
transmitted and while items are
selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance
(related to bug #383).
> Unicode is limited to the basic multilingual plane
(U+0000..U+FFFF) (feature request #329).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
> Issue with layouting when closing an MDI child (bug #399).
- Serial COM port limitations of .NET:
> Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by
.NET (feature request #101).
> Use of serial COM ports while disconnect, undock or hibernate
without closing the port may
result in an 'ObjectDisposedException' or
'UnauthorizedAccessException'. It happens due to
a bug in the .NET 'SerialPort' class for which Microsoft only has
vague plans fixing. YAT is
applying several patches to try working around the issue (bugs
#224, #254, #293, #316, #317,
#345, #382, #385, #387, #401, #442). To prevent this issue,
refrain from disconnecting a
device while its port is open. Or, manually close the port after
the device got disconnected.
- The \!(PortSettings()) keyword is yet limited to serial COM ports
(feature request #71).
- Serial COM port break states may not be supported on certain hardware,
e.g. USB/RS-232 converters.
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and
significant migration work of
implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on
unixoids (feature request #119).
- Line content and EOL may be sent in two separate chunks, because the
parts are handled slightly
after each other. Delay could be eliminated but requires some
refactoring (feature request #333).
- Automatic responses and actions work fine as long as the received
chunks do not contain more than
one trigger and do not spread across multiple lines. Limitation could
be eliminated but requires
some refactoring (feature request #366).
- Automatic actions 'Filter' and 'Suppress' do not get reapplied on
refresh (feature request #367).
- Wait for answer line (text terminals) not yet implemented (feature
request #19 and bug #176).
- Direct send text mode does not yet support special formats and
commands (feature request #10).
- Running YAT for a long period, or creating many terminals, results in
memory leaks, which result
in a gradual increase of the memory consumption (RAM) (bugs #243,
#263 and #336, root cause yet
unknown, could even be a limitation of the memory management of the
.NET 2.0 runtime).
For the complete list of limitations and known issues, see the YAT
feature request and bug trackers at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. For hints on how to use
YAT, see https://sourceforge.net/p/y-a-terminal/discussion/.

α-β-γ-δ-ε-Final! Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT, almost 20 years after initial ideation (inspired by VersaTerm and good ol' Windows 3.x terminal), 14 years after writing the first pieces of code (in an attempt to get to know the at that time brand new .NET), 10 years after going public (and more than 75'000 downloads since), several ups and downs along the path, it's a great pleasure to announce YAT 2.0 Final! Many people have contributed with ideas, feature requests, bug reports, criticism, support. Namely (in chronological order): Roman Steiner Claudio Foscan Adrian Rempfler Christian Geret Beat von Ballmoos Erwin Brändle Bruno Nufer Yves Küderli Andre Luis Azevedo Cyrill Bucher Roland Studer Urs Fiechter Silvio Zehnder Hanspeter Hochreutener Markus Flammer Igor Knapp Thomas Hirzel Thomas Mathys Christian Meister Cassian Strässle Mario Guhl Peter Hertach Christoph Trautweiler George Fankhauser Philip Gruebele Andri Toggenburger Martin Heusser Yves Schenker Christian Zingg Peter Lutz Charlie Poole Iosif Gross George Frascarolo Daniel Raillard Ursin Tuor Murat Ursavaş Richard Girling Jan Axelson Brent Russell Bill Nicols Barry Walker Scott Whitney 'serfiforge' Silvan Sturzenegger Thomas Hug Raffael Zingg Philippe Wagnières Feroze Mohamed Adriaan van Niekerk Joel Bartlett Rahel Gradenecker Lester Sanders Geert Hospers Tobias Heuken Jason Dye Oddmar Dam Mike Olson Manuel Kauf Peter Fooks Javier de la Asuncion Tadej Berlic Luka Bodroža Joel Möllering Christian Vetterli David Crocker Rick Retter Rens Oliemans Przemysław Hołubowski Glynn Chamberlain Kenny Kalyango Pete Scargill Raphael Zulliger Stefan Tschumper Christof Rademeyer Never mind if I have forgotten somebody, *a big "Thanks!" to all who have helped YAT becoming what it is today!* YAT 2.0 will now enter maintenance mode, i.e. focus on bug fixes and minor changes, while work for YAT 4.0 is already ongoing. (YAT 3.0 will be skipped to prevent naming conflict with yat3 of Dieter Fauth that became public around the same time as YAT. And, 4.0 buzzes more anyway, e.g. industry 4.0 and the like ;-) YAT 4.0 will feature the integration of the CSScript <https://github.com/oleg-shilo/cs-script> engine, including examples and templates, allowing you to script YAT and automate repetitive tasks, use it for test automation, implement protocol layers,... whatever you can think of. By the way, although the Easter release got caught by the flu, the Easter egg is "E/-\5+|三ⴽ ε99". **Download and Installation*:* YAT 2.0 Final can be downloaded from YAT's SourceForge web page https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. Packages can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/: * x64 as .msi (8 MB) * x64 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB) * x64 binaries for compatibility with Windows XP (7 MB) * x86 as .msi (8 MB) * x86 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB) * x86 binaries for compatibility with Windows XP (7 MB) When installing YAT 2.0 Final, any previous version of YAT will automatically be replaced. *New in **YAT 2.0 Final:* - Option to break lines on each sent or received chunk (feature request 335). Useful for message- rather than stream-oriented communication, e.g. most use cases of UDP/IP. *Important changes in **YAT 2.0 Final:* - UDP/IP terminals by default now use "[None]" as EOL sequence (related to feature request #335). - UDP/IP related settings 'break lines on each sent or received chunk' and 'EOL sequence' are automatically changed when the port type gets changed. This automatism is only applied if the settings are at their defaults, i.e. have not been changed by the user; otherwise, the user is asked whether the settings shall be changed (related to feature request #335). - Simple find/search function now allows to explicitly enable/disable the regex option (related feature requests #11 and #79 implemented in previous release). - Option to enable/disable <...> and \... escape sequences has been separated for [Send Text] and [Send File]. By default, escapes are enabled for [Send Text] and disabled for [Send File]. - [Send File] now also sends (formatted) text files for binary terminals, including support for [Explicit Default Radix] and other send file related settings (bug #411). - Location of some send related settings has changed (related to bug #411). - The "DynamicIndex"/"DynamicTerminalIndex" command line option has been changed to "DynamicId"/ "DynamicTerminalId" to emphasize that the value is a 1 (and not 0) based ID, incl. the option to use value 0 to select the currently active terminal. - Binary distributions now contain DejaVu fonts for manual installation (feature request #331). *Fixed bugs**in **YAT 2.0 Final:* - 'SplitterDistance' value related 'InvalidOperationException' on startup fixed (bug #409). - 'SplitterDistance' value related 'ArgumentOutOfRangeException' on startup fixed (bug #408). - 'NullReferenceException' under certain conditions when .yat file got deleted fixed (bug #407). *Limitations and known issues**in **YAT 2.0 Final:* - x64 distributions are 'AnyCPU' builds due to limitations of VS2015 on .NET 3.5 SP1 (feat. #229). - General imitations of .NET Windows.Forms: > System display scaling other than 100% (96 DPI) results in minor distortions on Win 7 and before (bugs #85, #235, #375) and some blurring on Win 8 and above (feature request #310).

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT
The delta towards /'YAT 2.0 Final'/ is getting smaller, so /'YAT 2.0
Delta'/ seems to be the appropriate release name ;-)
**Highlights*:*
* Additional workaround applied to prevent 'ObjectDisposedException'
when disconnecting USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC) without closing
the serial COM port (bug #382). Workaround also applies when
undocking or hibernating a computer running YAT without closing the
serial COM port, as well as when restarting devices that implement a
virtual serial COM port (USB CDC).
* Break [Ctrl+B] can now also be used to break sending a file.
* Improved speed and responsiveness on transmitting fast data.
* System display scaling other than 100% mostly fixed for Win 7 and
before.
* A bunch of bug fixes, see further below for the complete list.
/'//YAT 2.0 Delta//'/ can be downloaded from YAT's SourceForge web page
https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. Packages can be
downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/:
* x64 as .msi (8 MB)
* x64 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x86 as .msi (8 MB)
* x86 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x64 binaries (2 MB) for compatibility with Windows XP
* x86 binaries (2 MB) for compatibility with Windows XP
When installing /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/, any previous version of YAT will
automatically be replaced.
**New *changes in /'YAT 2.0 Delta'/:*
- Additional setting and keywords \!(FramingErrorsOn|Off|Restore) that
allows configuring the serial
COM port behavior on framing errors. Useful when e.g. changing baud
rates (feature request #321).
*Important changes in /'YAT 2.0 Delta'/:*
- Additional workaround applied to prevent 'ObjectDisposedException'
when disconnecting USB/RS-232
converters (USB CDC) without closing the serial COM port (bug #382).
Workaround also applies when
undocking or hibernating a computer running YAT without closing the
serial COM port, as well as
when restarting devices that implement a virtual serial COM port (USB
CDC).
- Option to disable user interaction question when a serial COM port, a
local network interface or
a USB Ser/HID device is no longer available; terminal will silently
stay closed (feat. req. #316).
- Improved speed on sending and receiving, preventing application freeze
on fast data (bug #383).
- Improved responsiveness to send requests while receiving a lot of fast
data, as well as
responsiveness to receive data while sending a lot of fast data (rel.
to bugs #305, #380, #383).
- Auto scroll of the monitor view is not only suspended if one or more
lines are selected but also
if the scroll bar is moved away from the bottom of the monitor
(feature request #323).
- Break [Ctrl+B] can now also be used to break sending a file (bug #305
and feature request #295).
- Auto-reconnect of TCP/IP client terminals enabled by default.
- Text input now supports the [Ctrl+Backspace] shortcut and multi-line
text input also the [Ctrl+A]
shortcut (feature request #317 as workaround to limitation of .NET
Windows.Forms).
- Warning on invalid multi-byte encoded byte sequences for string,
character and Unicode radix.
- Option to display the date has been merged with option to display the
time, but it is now possible
to configure the format (feature requests #291, #319 and related to
former feature request #14).
In addition, options to display the time span as well as the time
delta have been added.
- "Comments" exclusion on sending has been migrated to "Text" exclusion
that is now supporting
regex patterns instead of plain strings (feature request #307). The
change adds the possibility
to omit empty lines. Attention, former "Comment indicators" settings
will have to be reapplied.
*Fixed bugs in /'YAT 2.0 Delta'/:*
- Serial COM port switching again properly works (bug #376).
- Serial COM port sending at very low baud rates again properly works
(bug #379).
- Issue with UDP/IP server after connection reset fixed, automatically
receiving again (bug #381).
- Monitor can again be cleared when terminal is closed (bug #380).
- Calculation of buffer line numbers fixed (related to bug #380).
- Calculation of length of multi-byte encoded EOL sequences fixed.
- Erroneous error message when changing log file separator fixed (bug #378).
- InvalidOperationException when defining user defined log file
separator or monitor format
enclosure or separator fixed (partly related to bug #378).
- Minor issues with predefined and send commands fixed (parts of bug #308).
- Description of predefined commands can be changed again (bugs #377 and
#386).
- Context menu shortcuts are no longer executed when a dialog is open
(bug #300).
- Predefined command page navigation shortcuts fixed (related to bug #300).
- Predefined command panel width change issue in case Tx or Rx panel is
shown fixed (bug #384).
- Saving and restoring the location in case of manual terminal layout
fixed (bug #252).
- System display scaling other than 100% mostly fixed for Win 7 and
before (bugs #85, #235, #375).
*Limitations and known issues of /'YAT 2.0 Delta'/:*
- x64 distributions are 'AnyCPU' builds due to limitations of VS2015 on
.NET 3.5 SP1 (feat. #229).
- General imitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> System display scaling other than 100% (96 DPI) results in minor
distortions on Win 7 and
before (bugs #85, #235, #375) and some blurring on Win 8 and above
(feature request #310).
The latter will be fixed with upgrading to .NET 4.7+ (feature
request #229).
> System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is
all-English (bug #66).
> Single chars are compared case insensitively against recent 'Send
Text' commands (bug #347).
> Auto completion for e.g. 'Send Text' is not feasible to implement
(feature request #227).
> Horizontal auto scrolling of monitors is not feasible to implement
(feature request #163).
> Vertical scrolling of monitors while a lot of data is being
transmitted and while items are
selected may lead to a severe drop of the overall performance
(rel. to bugs #305, #380, #383).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
- Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by .NET
(feature request #101).
- Serial COM port break states may not be supported on certain hardware,
e.g. USB/RS-232 converters.
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and
significant migration work of
implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on
unixoids (feature request #119).
- Wait for answer line (text terminals) not yet implemented (feature
request #19).
- Breaking while sending files not possible yet (bug #305 and feature
request #295).
- Direct send text mode does not yet support special formats and
commands (feature request #10).
- Running YAT for a long period, or creating many terminals, results in
memory leaks, which result
in a gradual increase of the memory consumption (RAM) (bugs #243,
#263 and #336, root cause yet
unknown, could even be a limitation of the memory management of the
.NET runtime).
For a complete list of limitations and known issues see the YAT feature
request and bug trackers.
Enjoy YAT!

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT!
It's my pleasure to announce the next version of YAT, another major step
towards /'//YAT 2.0 Final//'/. The most important changes are:
* Shortcuts for sending without EOL.
* Unicode notation for sending and displaying.
* Keywords with arguments \!(Delay(<ms>)), \!(LineDelay(<ms>)),
\!(LineInterval(<ms>)) and \!(LineRepeat(<n>)).
* Write to and read from multiple USB Ser/HID report IDs using the new
keyword \!(ReportID(<ID>)).
* Improved catch-all of unhandled exceptions.
Two important remarks:
* The improved catch-all of unhandled exceptions could reveal issues
that were ignored by the previous version. If you *encounter such
unhandled exception*, I ask you to give me feedback as soon as
possible, including the information of the circumstances that lead
to the exception. It is my intention to resolve the root cause of
any unhandled exception where possible.
* SourceForge has changed its mailing list policies. In the past,
project managers could actively manage the addresses/members of a
mailing list. For privacy/spam reasons, project managers are no
longer allowed to see the mail addresses.
o If you still want to receive such release notification mails for
future versions (of course! ;-) and you haven't already done so,
you must "*reconfirm subscription to y-a-terminal-users mailing
list*" according to the email you have received from SourceForge
a few days ago.
o If you no longer want to receive such release notifications,
simply ignore the reconfirmation and you will be automatically
unsubscribed from the list by July 30.
/'//YAT 2.0 Gamma 3//'/ can be downloaded from YAT's SourceForge web
page https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. Packages can be
downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/:
* x64 as .msi (8 MB)
* x64 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x86 as .msi (8 MB)
* x86 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
There are now also two binary distributions for compatibility with
Windows XP, since the YAT installer is no longer compatible with Windows XP:
* x64 binaries (2 MB)
* x86 binaries (2 MB)
When installing /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/, any previous version of YAT will
automatically be replaced.
*New in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/:*
- 'Send Text' without EOL by [Ctrl+Enter] or [Ctrl+F3] (feature requests
#281, #283, #285).
- Option to send data in Unicode notation as "\U+...." or C-style
"\u...." or YAT-style "\U(....)
as well as option to show data in Unicode notation "U+...." added
(feature request #271).
- Option to disable BOM (Unicode encoding preamble) when logging in UTF8
added (bug #363).
- Option to disable formatting, useful when highest data throughput
slows down the view (feat. #39).
- Keywords with arguments \!(Delay(<ms>)), \!(LineDelay(<ms>)),
\!(LineInterval(<ms>)) and
\!(LineRepeat(<n>)) added (feature requests #13, #139).
- Additional keyword \!(ReportID(<ID>)) that allows changing the USB
Ser/HID report ID while sending
and thus allows to sequentially write to and read from multiple
report IDs (feature request #296).
- Additional USB Ser/HID preset "Signal 11 HID API" and changed presets
"Plain" and "Common" to
cover more use cases related to raw binary data (feature request #297
and bug #367).
*Important changes in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/:*
- Option to display non-payload USB Ser/HID data (related to feature
req. #296, #297 and bug #367).
- Option to skip empty lines when sending a text file (feature request
#298).
- No longer showing empty lines that had only contained a previous
line's hidden EOL (feat. #299).
- No longer showing a potentially annoying message box if no serial COM
ports or no local network
interfaces or no HID capable USB devices are currently available.
- Serial COM port that are in use are no longer simply labelled "(in
use)" but rather "(in use by
this terminal)", "(... terminal<ID>)" or "(... other application)"
(feature requests #201, #207).
- Notes and links regarding non-intrusive RS-232 monitor/sniffer/spy
cables and devices added to
'About' dialog (related to feature requests #152, #198, #288).
- Option to disable all \!(...) keywords (former feature request #183)
has been migrated to an
option to disable *all* escape sequences, i.e. all "<...>" and "\..."
sequences (feat. #302).
- When nothing has changed in a terminal, its file (.yat) is no longer
auto-saved (bug #365).
- When evaluating relative paths of workspace/terminal/send/log files,
the current directory is
always taken into account (feature request #292).
- Default file location has been refined from "<User>\Documents" to
"<User>\Documents\YAT"
(related to feature request #292).
- Warning in case of yet incomplete RTF or XML log files (bug #356).
- Automatically generated backup files are now placed into standard
temporary folder (feat. #275).
- Internal event handling refined, resulting in increased stability on
stopping/closing/exiting
(related to feature request #173 and bugs #310, #339).
- SourceForge file structure simplified, split into "Current" and
"Previous" (feature request #278).
- Binary distribution added because installer is no longer compatible
with Win XP (bugs #318, #369).
- Started to migrate test environment from NUnit V2 to V3, but reverted
to 2.6.4 again (feat. #293).
- NUnit tests migrated from classic to constraint model (related to
feature request #293).
- NUnit framework assemblies placed into solution structure instead of
referring to installation.
*Fixed bugs in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/:*
- UDP/IP PairSocket enabled to communicate with a remote computer (bug
#368).
- TCP/IP sockets no longer block when exiting too quickly (bug #341).
- Potential application freeze when clearing monitors/repositories fixed
(bug #361).
- Potential 'NullReferenceException' in binary terminal settings fixed
(bug #362).
- Option to change endianness of multi-byte encoded charactes fixed (bug
#343).
- Presets of serial COM port settings work again (bug #372).
- Wrong active/inactive state of log menu items fixed (bug #366).
- Catch-all of unhandled synchronous exceptions fixed (bug #310) as well as
catch-all of unhandled asynchronous exceptions improved (feature
request #173).
*Limitations and known issues of /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 3'/:*
- x64 distributions are 'AnyCPU' builds due to limitations of VS2015 on
.NET 3.5 SP1 (feat. #229).
- General imitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> System display scaling other than 100% results in partly clipped
controls (bugs #85 and #235).
> System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is
all-English (bug #66).
> Single chars are compared case insensitively against recent 'Send
Text' commands (bug #347).
> Auto completion for e.g. 'Send Text' is not feasible to implement
(feature request #227).
> Horizontal auto scroll is not feasible to implement (feature
request #163).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
- Serial COM port limitations of .NET:
> Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by
.NET (feature request #101).
> Use of USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC) while disconnect, undock or
sleep without closing the
serial COM port may require to reset the converters, i.e.
disconnect and reconnect them, or
restart the computer. In addition, it may be required to
disconnect or reset any device
sending continuous data. Otherwise, the related serial COM ports
may no longer be opened by
an application. Issue is being reported by many users of .NET, but
Microsoft seems to have
no plans fixing it. If an 'ObjectDisposedException' or
'UnauthorizedAccessException' still
occurs, the serial COM port connection monitoring has to be
disabled in the terminal settings.
- Serial COM port break states may not be supported on certain hardware,
e.g. USB/RS-232 converters.
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows; use of 'LibUsb'/'LibUsbDotNet' and
significant migration work of
implementation and test environment would be needed to run it on
unixoids (feature request #119).
- Wait for answer line (text terminals) not yet implemented (feature
request #19).
- Breaking while sending files not possible yet (bug #305 and feature
request #295).
- Direct send text mode does not yet support special formats and
commands (feature request #10).
- Running YAT for a long period, or creating many terminals, results in
memory leaks, which result
in a gradual increase of the memory consumption (RAM) (bugs #243,
#263 and #336, root cause yet
unknown, could even be a limitation of the memory management of the
.NET runtime).
For a complete list of limitations and known issues see the YAT feature
request and bug trackers.
Enjoy YAT!

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT The simplified deployment, as .msi only, unfortunately is incompatible with Internet Explorer 10 and above. Internet Explorer reports "signature of this program is corrupt or invalid" even though the signature has been created by the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer... The issue is most likely caused by the Microsoft security update on 2016-01-12 which apparently imposes new requirements for .msi downloads. I will try to solve this issue for a future version. For the moment, deployment has simply been reverted to .zip: * *x64 as .zip (8 MB)* * x64 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB) * *x86 as .zip (8 MB)* * x86 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB) En passant, an issue has been fixed with displaying in 'String' and 'Char' for binary terminals that has been reported by an early user of yesterday's version (bug #357). Let's see by when the next issue pops up ;-) Enjoy YAT! Grüess Matthias /PS: In case you encounter the .msi download issue with another application, note that you can still successfully download and install such .msi. Either, use a browser other than IE, or, after the download, select "View downloads" or "More information", then right-click to execute or download anyway.

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT
It's my pleasure to announce the next version of YAT, another major step
towards /'//YAT 2.0 Final//'/. The most important changes are:
* Icons migrated from glyfx to FatCow, resulting in an improved
look-and-feel.
* Major improvement of serial COM port performance.
* Major improvement of UDP/IP functionality.
* Additional configurability for USB Ser/HID.
* Various improvements of logging functionality.
For a complete list of changes, see release notes further below.
/'//YAT 2.0 Gamma 2//'/ can be downloaded from YAT's SourceForge web
page https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/. Packages can be
downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/files/ in
four versions:
* x64 as .msi (9 MB)
* x64 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
* x86 as .msi (9 MB)
* x86 as .zip including .NET redistributable (220 MB)
When installing /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 2'/, any previous version of YAT will
automatically be replaced.
*New in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 2'/:*
- UDP/IP functionality improved:
> Possibility to receive from multiple sources when using 'UDP/IP
Server' (feature request #248).
> Dedicated settings for server, client and socket (related to
feature request #248).
- USB Ser/HID can be configured to XOn/XOff flow control (feature
request #226).
- USB Ser/HID discovery improved, serial string may optionally be
ignored (feature request #261).
- Automatic response feature, YAT can automatically respond to a request
(feature request #252).
- Keyword \!(LineInterval) implemented in addition to the existing
\!(LineDelay), useful together
with \!(LineRepeat), line will be sent in more or less accurate
interval (feature request #255).
- Binary terminals now also support to break lines before a sequence
(feat. reqs. #76, #140, #180).
- Selectable default parse radix, e.g. useful when sending binary data
(feat. reqs. #238, #270).
- Options to define the enclosure and spacing of display elements added
(related to bug #292).
- Option to display the port as e.g. "COM1" or "127.0.0.1:10000"
(feature request #14).
- Option to display the direction as "<<" (Tx) and ">>" (Rx) (feature
request #14).
- Option to display the date in addition to the time (related to feature
request #14).
- Options to hide 0x00 and/or 0xFF (feature req. #243).
- Option to encode neat logs in terminal encoding instead of UTF-8
(related to feature request #69).
- Logging in RTF format implemented (feature request #233). Note that
the log file's RTF structure
is incomplete while logging is ongoing. The file can only be opened
by an RTF reader (e.g. Word)
after logging has finished, i.e. logging has been switched off or the
terminal is closed.
- Logging in XML format implemented (feature requests #26 and #27). Note
that the log file's XML
structure is incomplete while logging is ongoing. The file can only
be opened by an XML reader
after logging has finished, i.e. logging has been switched off or the
terminal is closed.
- Line numbers may indicate the total number of transmitted lines
(feature request #265).
- Selectable background color added to format settings (feature request
#250).
- Window can be configured to always stay on top (feature request #241).
*Important changes in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 2'/:*
- 'Send Command' renamed to 'Send Text' (related to feature request #252).
- Active terminal is highlighted/emphasized (feature request #247).
- Automatic terminal layout added. Use 'Window > ...' for dedicated
layout (feature request #247).
- If YAT is not the active app, a single click is now sufficient to
execute an action (bug #210).
- Icons migrated from glyfx to FatCow (much larger variety) as
preparation for the items below.
- Additional log menu items and toolbar icons added, including
indication whether logging is
switched on or off, as well as opening/viewing of log file (feature
requests #69, #103, #245).
- XML schema on 'Monitor > Save To File...' aligned with XML schema of
logging in XML. Schema
is saved in additional .xsd file (related to feature requests #26 and
#27).
- Several other menu items and toolbar icons added (includes feature
request #222).
- Parser is now capable to handle contiguous values such as \h(01020304)
(related to bug #326).
- Parser error message improved in terms of accuracy of the error
location (bug #268).
- File handling as well as error messages improved and unified (bugs
#320 and #338).
- Lookup of serial COM ports improved (also fixes bug #23).
- New option to limit the serial COM port output to the selected baud
rate - 25%.
- Handling of serial COM port RFR and DTR state improved (feature
request #236 and bugs #203, #294).
- Handling of serial COM port XOff state fixed and improved (feature
req. #216 and bugs #255, #295).
- Serial COM port software flow control options to send XOn more
frequently added (feature #206).
- Superfluous control pin events of e.g. internal COM ports is now being
handled (bugs #271, #277).
- Settings related to XOn/XOff and ASCII control character replacement
improved (bug #319).
- Synchronization among outgoing and incoming data improved, preventing
data mix-ups and exceptions
(related to feat. reqs. #14, #252 as well as bugs #132, #275, #292,
#321, #331, #333, #334, #346).
- Performance in terms of CPU and RAM usage improved (bugs #189, #243,
#263, #302, #336).
- Adaptive monitor update rate significantly improved, it is now
dependent on the CPU load.
- Number of bytes per line limited, in order to keep performance even in
case of enormous lines.
- Implementation of keyword \!(Clear) improved, it now shortly waits
before clearing (bug #251).
- Additional hints (tool tips) added to the settings dialogs (feature
request #189).
- Help window is now sizeable to display more/all content (feature
request #237).
- Command line options fixed, extended and slightly changed (bug #335
and feature request #260).
- DejaVu fonts updated to 2.37
- Visual Studio upgraded to 2015 Community Edition, including installer
(VSI).
- Test board (serial COM ports, USB devices,...) created and test cases
adapted accordingly.
*Fixed bugs in /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 2'/:*
- Use of USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC) while disconnect, undock or
sleep without closing the
serial COM port no longer leads to an ObjectDisposedException or
UnauthorizedAccessException in
in most cases (bugs #224, #254, #293, #316 and #345). However, it is
still required to reset the
converters, i.e. disconnect and reconnect them, or restart the
computer. In addition, it may be
required to disconnect or reset any device sending continuous data.
Otherwise, related serial COM
ports may no longer be opened. Issue is being reported by many users
of .NET, but Microsoft seems
to have no plans fixing it. If an ObjectDisposedException or
UnauthorizedAccessException still
occurs, the serial COM port connection monitoring has to be disabled
in the terminal settings.
- TCP/IP local interface setting fixed:
> Setting is now properly applied to all TCP/IP sockets (bug #322).
> Setting extended to interface description/address pair (bugs #328
and #355).
- UDP/IP functionality fixed:
> Can now properly receive from a remote host (bug #327).
> Dedicated settings for server, client and socket (related to bug
#248).
- Subsequent log files are now properly named according to the
configured settings. File names that
include the time stamp now properly use the time stamp of the open
operation (related to feature
requests #69, #103, #233, #245).
- Long monitor content is now displayed properly even when horizontally
scrolling (bug #125).
- ExternalException "A generic error occurred in GDI+" while drawing has
been fixed by reverting
from GDI+ to GDI (bugs #191, #266, #284, #286 and #325).
- .NET Windows.Forms MDI issues with window list worked-around (bugs
#119, #180 and #213).
*Limitations and known issues of /'YAT 2.0 Gamma 2'/:*
- x64 distributions are 'AnyCPU' builds due to limitations of VS2015 on
.NET 3.5 SP1 (feat. #229).
- General imitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Horizontal auto scroll is not feasible to implement (feature
request #163).
> System display scaling other than 100% results in partly clipped
controls (bugs #85 and #235).
> System errors are output in local language, even though YAT is
all-English (bug #66).
- MDI limitations of .NET Windows.Forms:
> Issues with frame (bugs #29 and #30).
> Issue with window list (bug #31).
- Serial COM port limitations of .NET:
> Support for ports named other than "COM..." isn't supported by
.NET (feature request #101).
> Use of USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC) while disconnect, undock or
sleep without closing the
serial COM port may require to reset the converters, i.e.
disconnect and reconnect them, or
restart the computer. In addition, it may be required to
disconnect or reset any device
sending continuous data. Otherwise, the related serial COM ports
may no longer be opened by
an application. Issue is being reported by many users of .NET, but
Microsoft seems to have
no plans fixing it. If an ObjectDisposedException or
UnauthorizedAccessException still occurs,
the serial COM port connection monitoring has to be disabled in
the terminal settings.
- Serial COM port break states may not be supported on certain hardware,
e.g. USB/RS-232 converters.
- USB Ser/HID only runs on Windows, use of 'LibUsbDotNet', significant
work and the availability of
a test environment would be needed to run USB Ser/HID on unixoids
(feature request #119).
- Keyword \!(Delay(<TimeSpan>)) not yet implemented (feature request #139).
- Keyword \!(Repeat(<Item>, <Repetitions>, <Delay>)) not yet implemented
(feature request #13).
- Text terminals: Wait for answer line not yet implemented (feature
request #19).
- Breaking while sending files not possible yet (bug #305).
- Direct mode does not yet support special formats and commands (feature
request #10).
- Running YAT for a long period, or creating many terminals, results in
memory leaks, which result
in a gradual increase of the memory consumption (RAM) (bugs #243,
#263 and #336, root cause yet
unknown, could even be a limitation of the memory management within
.NET 3.5).
For a complete list of limitations and known issues see the YAT feature
request and bug trackers.
Enjoy YAT!

Matthias

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT
Murphy was lingering ;-)
Early uses have revealed a few severe issues related to TCP/IP settings
in the previous *YAT 2.0 Gamma 1' Version 1.99.33*. These issues have
been fixed with this release *YAT 2.0 Gamma 1'' Version 1.99.34*. In
addition, an issue with the upgrade of the local user settings has been
fixed. And, last but not least, users of serial COM ports now have the
possibility to better configure the ports in terms of sending. For
details, see change log further below.
*All users are advised to upgrade to this fixed version! Sorry for the
inconvenience!*
The previous *YAT 2.0 Gamma 1' Version 1.99.33* has been removed from
SourceForge.
*New in **YAT 2.0 Gamma 1'' Version 1.99.34:*
- Serial COM ports can better be configured in terms of sending (feature
request #235)
> Output buffer size can be limited, useful when using hardware
and/or software flow control
> Send rate can be limited, useful if a device cannot process more
than a certain amount of data
*Important changes in **YAT 2.0 Gamma 1'' Version 1.99.34:*
- Serial COM port send chunk size can no longer be configured (related
to feature request #235)
*Fixed bugs in **YAT 2.0 Gamma 1'' Version 1.99.34:*
- SocketException when resolving URL of a not yet available remote host
fixed (bug #312)
- Invalid handling of remote host IP address fixed (bugs #313, #314 and
#315)
- Local user settings (previous workspace/terminals, recent files,
window location, preferences) are
again loaded from the latest previous version (bug #311)
/Please note a general limitation of ///USB/RS-232 converters/ that
occasionally leads to an issue://
//Use of USB/RS-232 converters (USB CDC) while sleep or undock without
closing the serial COM port leads to an ObjectDisposedException in the
system internal infrastructure (bugs #293 and #316). //The issue occurs
in the underlying Windows/.NET infrastructure, no feasible way has yet
been found to properly handle this issue. To avoid the issue, make sure
to either disconnect the USB CDC device, or close the according terminal
in YAT *before* entering the system's sleep mode or undock the laptop
from the docking station.//
/
Finally, everyone is welcome to...
...send feedback by email,...
...submit bug reports and/or feature requests to the YAT trackers on
SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/>, and...
*...fill in a user rating and/or user review on **SourceForge
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/>**.*
Enjoy YAT, this time definitely for more than just a week ;-)

Hoi zäme, users and friends of YAT
Another release, much sooner than expected ;-)
Early uses have revealed two severe issues in the previous *YAT 2.0
Gamma 1 Version 1.99.32*. These issues have been fixed with this release
*YAT 2.0 Gamma 1' Version 1.99.33*.
* The first issue related to the compatibility with settings files
(.yat) created with older versions of YAT. Note that compatibility
with older settings files is verified during regression testing
before each release of YAT. But the issue was caused by the
incompatibility of the settings dialog, i.e. the user interface. New
settings were not effected by this issue.
* The second issue related to the 'Send File' feature. Handling of
them, including recents and shortcuts, have been fixed and improved.
*All users are advised to upgrade to this fixed version! Sorry for the
inconvenience!*
The previous *YAT 2.0 Gamma 1 Version 1.99.32* has been removed from
SourceForge.
*Fixed bugs in **YAT 2.0 Gamma 1' Version 1.99.33:*
- FormatException when opening the terminal settings of a terminal that
is based on an existing
.yat file fixed, additional test cases added to regression testing
(bugs #306 and #307)
- Issues with 'Send File' fixed, handling of recents and shortcuts
improved (bug #304)
Enjoy YAT, this time for more than just a week ;-)
Grüess
Matthias

Hoi zäme, users of YAT I am pleased to announce the next version of YAT. Towards this version, massive refactorings and rather big changes as described under 'Important changes' have been done. After these refactorings, intensive testing was performed. However, there is a certain possibility that the refactorings may have lead to side-effects. The goal of this release is to again verify the stability of YAT. Depending on the findings, another version fixing the findings will be released within the next months. In parallel, the remaining bugs of priority 5 and above are being fixed, and some minor new features are being added. Once this has been done, another version will be released.
