As posted on r/bbs, ansi isn't detected on my system which results in

an

automatic black-list. Telnet, SSH and WSS all had this issue. I

just

tried standard ANSI and switched back to .7.99 after it refused to connect to me.

I updated the 0.8.0 build - I found the problem. Strange that it sometimes seems to work - I've called your bbs before the release.

Cut&Paste should work now in 0.8.0 :).

Yay!

Yep, works great! Except for cut and paste. Left mouse click gives: <. #<. and doesnt' let me to drag and select text.

Looks like you've mouse tracking enabled then - when mouse tracking is enabled I've the choice: Send tracking data >or< have copy/selection working.

Maybe I've made an error with that - need to look again - I suppose it's your BBS? Here in the editor I use currently it doesn't work too - but I can paste text. This editor (I think mystic) seems to use & react on mouse tracking.

But it's a clashing thing. Maybe I can save it with modifier+mouse commands? Need to think about it. However mouse reporting works now.

If you don't react on this I recommend turning mouse tracking off in the areas that are unsupported otherwise "Garbage" will always happen - regardless what I do.

There are mailboxes that use this tracking extensively - it's almost desktop like experience :)

https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyTerm0.8.0

The major update - long promised - finally here :)

Completely rewritten foundation!

+ Complete new UI library, Shaders, Styling
- On the plus side icy term should now run on most systems + VMs unlike the older UI library which required recent machines.
- New dialogs, better dialing directory
- Strongly improved emulation output overall - let's say skypix animations now work
+ Complete new Parser/Middleware libraries, speed optimized
updated many libraries to newer versions - some are just ~1 month old - yeah! Internally everything changed, hope that helps development/stabilizing to 1.0. + Scripting Language (lua based)
- SCRIPTING.md is in the repo - too much for an announcement.
Basically it's inheriting icy_draw script engine. Start from cmd line or alt+r + MCP server (cmd line option communiction via http)
- AI will be everywhere - now your terminal isn't secure too
- Yes it can write scripts for you if you ask kindly
+ Real Scrollback buffer (old growing buffer was more an experiment)
+ RLogin support
+ Emulation
- Atari ST VT52 + IGS (including sound)
- Atari 8Bit got a XEP80 module
- RIP/Skypix work now much better
- UTF8 alpha support (guess that will have to wait for icy_draw)
- C64 got a new palette - maybe I should make palettes configurable across the board
+ New Serial dialog + baud auto detection
- Modems should work now but I still need to test a real connection
+ Multi window support (ctrl+shift+n, alt+numbers to switch)
+ Clipboard improved - new library can handle rich text + bitmaps as well
+ ZModem improved (thanks to Shurato for testing/pointing to issues)
+ F1 keyboard help system, I probably forgot some things :).
+ New startup behavior with splashscreen from grymmjack + some easter eggs
+ ssh can now include username/pw user:pw@URL - this is important for setting other user/pw for login than for IEMSI.
- Removed IEMSI user/pw UI - switched to the sheme above.
- works from cmd line as well when connecting.
+ Fixed many bugs, impvemented more Ansi things, invented completely new bugs never seen before

Missing: Context menus.
They'll get added to the UI library at some point.
But for icy_term they're too late.
I don't think they make a new release of iced (the UI lib I switched to)
this year - so I decided to release without.

I DOSed many BBSes during this development&

Happy BBSing!

One more thing - the awesome IGS intro from GoF - finally without Atari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7U4_HkLim0

Well, almost ... it's still 64 bit. Any chance of a 32 bit windows version?

Nope, my BBS software doesn't support mouse tracking. Or is this an icyterm thing? Where would I disable it?

I looked at it - there is mouse tracking enabled. IDK where to disable it. Good question. But it's in VT200 mode which means it grabs mouse buttons.

I have no control over that. No problem with this with other terms that I've noticed. Can this be a per-system option? This was not intentional on the author's end I'm sure. If it's something that is enabled, I can't disable
it.
