The 7th beta of the new open-source Kermit 95 is available now from
Github:
https://github.com/davidrg/ckwin/releases/tag/3.0.0beta7 https://kermitproject.org/ckw10beta.html
Some of whats new since Beta 6 include:
* IBM OS/2 2.0+ is now supported again. This is the first Kermit release
for OS/2 since 2.1.2 of November 2002 and the first *free* version of
OS/2 Kermit since C-Kermit 5A(191) of April 1995. Note that the dialer
is not currently included due to compatibility issues with Open
Watcom.
* REXX scripting is now supported on Windows for the first time! For
now, support is limited to x86 Windows XP or newer. Support for other
CPU architectures and older Windows releases may appear in a future
release.
* Big SSH improvements:
* SSH is now supported on 32bit ARM devices for the first time
* Port forwarding (tunneling) has been reimplemented for the new SSH
backend. Dynamic (SOCKS) forwarding may appear in a future release.
* X11 forwarding has been reimplemented for the new SSH backend
* SSH agent support and agent forwarding has been reimplemented for
the new SSH backend. See the SSH Client Reference section of the
users guide for compatible SSH agents.
* The SSH backend code has been moved into a DLL. Multiple backends
are now provided allowing Kermit 95 to load the correct one for your
operating system version (Windows XP or something newer) and
availability of MIT Kerberos for Windows. This means no more
shuffling around ssh.dll variants, and it also opens the door to
supporting SSH on older windows releases (or even OS/2) some day.
* New commands to turn the menu bar, tool bar and status bar on and off
have been added. When the menu bar is turned off, the most important
actions are available from the Window menu (like in PuTTY)
* Implemented support for Xterms bracketed paste feature
* Reimplemented the three checkboxes in the dialers GUI settings page
for the menu bar, tool bar and status bar. When these are disabled via
the dialer they can't be re-enabled via the new commands for turning
them on and off.
* Most of the users guide has been revised for Kermit 95 3.0. It will
now be bundled with releases going forward as it was in the past.
Plus many other improvements and bug fixes
