MinTTY is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.
MinTTY is based on code from PuTTY 0.60 by Simon Tatham and team.

This is a maintenance release containing mostly bug fixes.

CHANGES
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
- Fixed a rather bad bug that meant that the ISO-8859-1 codepage was
used for output in non-Unicode mode no matter the codepage setting.
- Fixed erroneous NumLock detection, which broke numpad support in
'orpie'.
- Fixed a problem with window resizing (again): after restoring from
maximized state, part of the bottom line would disappear behind the
window border.
- The colour of text under a block cursor now is set to whichever of
the foreground and background colours is further away (in colour
space) from the cursor colour, to try to ensure legibility.
- Dropped support for C1 control characters (i.e. 0x80 to 0x9F). This
is a VT220 feature, whereas MinTTY only claims to be a VT100  via its
"primary device attribute" string. Removing support makes Cygwin's /
bin/ascii utility work correctly with any 8-bit codepage and decreases
the likelihood of accidental binary output messing up the terminal
settings. Rxvt doesn't support the C1 control characters either, but
xterm does. Please let me know of any applications where this
incompatibility causes problems.
- Added a long version of the -e option ("--exec"), and documented
them in the manual page and --help output.
- Changed the man page tip on setting environment variables to use the
'env' command instead of 'sh -c'.
- Added a tip on making bash and readline 8-bit clean, to allow
non-ASCII input and output.
