Re: MobaXterm - Portable X server with SSH client
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 12:24 pm
Hello everyone!
We just released MobaXterm version 7.0.
In this release, we reworked the graphical interface, added IME support, increased SFTP speed, improved X server and much more.
Here is the full changelog :
- Improvement: MobaXterm graphical interface has been reworked (removed useless widgets, re-organized functions) in order to make it cleaner and easier to use
- Improvement: Chinese, Japanese and Korean keyboard are now fully managed using Input Method Editor (IME)
- Feature addition: The left sidebar can now be automatically shown/hidden by overlapping terminal, without resizing it
- Feature addition: A new "network scanner" tool allows you to search for computers in your network with listening services (can be disabled in PRO edition)
- Feature addition: A new "ports scanner" tool allows you to scan a computer in order to list open ports (can be disabled in PRO edition)
- Bugfix: Permission problems on SSH keys on Windows 8/8.1 have been fixed
- Feature addition: You can now specify terminal colors in global settings or per session
- Bugfix: Removed unwanted delay when changing from a tab to another one with an active SSH session and inactive SFTP
- Improvement: Changed terminal default charset to UTF-8 for better compatibility (you can change back to ISO-8859-1 in order to restore old charset behavior)
- Improvement: You can now specify a default login name for SSH sessions
- Improvement: SFTP upload speed is now 8 times faster on recent OpenSSH servers
- Feature addition: you can now specify a local folder for FTP and SFTP sessions
- Improvement: Updated X server to version 1.14.5 (some small fixes, especially for copy/paste operations)
- Bugfix: in SSH sessions, when a command was specified and the SFTP browser was enabled, it was not displayed
- Feature addition: A new "Quick connect" bar has been added in order to launch your saved sessions easily
- Bugfix: corrected a terminal problem on Windows 8.1 which resulted in a hidden cursor after resizing window
- Improvement: FTP passwords can now be saved
- Bugfix: Using FTP session, some files were incorrectly detected as "character devices" and thus were not editable
- Bugfix: Using FTP or SFTP sessions, some files were incorrectly detected as DOS/UNIX/MAC format in MobaTextEditor
- Improvement: After performing a "find" command in the terminal, the clipboard is now flushed
- Bugfix: In some very particular cases, the master password was asked although no master password was set
- Improvement: On the SFTP browser frame, the tooltip is now displayed after a short delay
- Bugfix: When password saving function had been disabled in the customizer (PRO edition), SSH gateway was not working correctly
- Improvement: COM ports are no longer tested at startup in order to increase startup speed
- Feature addition: 3 new X server modes available: these modes allow you to launch a transparent X server with window borders from fvwm, or even the full fvwm desktop
- Bugfix: The "follow SSH folder" feature did not work on old Solaris remote connections
- Bugfix: On German keyboard, AltGr+A now works correctly
- Improvement: Automatically set the correct charset for DOS commands (ipconfig, ping, ...)
- Improvement: Automatically set the correct charset for CMD sessions
- Improvement: Changed default sessions name
As usual, you can download this new version here: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html and it is still portable and stealth
Thank you!
