(reported by Jeffrey Altman ). VERSION 2.5 960818 + implements most VT420 report-tests. + make menu-skeleton for VT420 tests (some are needed for xterm tests), marking the non-implemented entries with an '*'. 960817 + add tests/examples for xterm mouse controls 960816 + remove obsolete support for Sargasso C (TOPS-20) 960813 + use usleep() if the system has it, to make responses faster. + add menu-entry for toggling 7/8-bit input/output controls + split-out keyboard.c, organized by a set of submenus. + split-out reports.c, parameterized to allow testing 8-bit controls. make submenu for individual reports. + modified menu decoding to accept '*' to step through all submenus. VERSION 2.4 960807 + Implement test for VT5xx C7C1T and S8C1T + Remove check for scrolling-behavior in CPL and CNL (no one but kermit seems to consider doing this). + Modified tst_reports() to use raw mode (the original sgtty logic doesn't do this) so that termios works. Modified termios settings for crmod so it doesn't touch INLCR and IGNCR, and for raw mode to leave c_oflag alone - this works on Linux. + corrected some typos in DECSCA test. 960806 + Testing by Albert D. Cahalan with VT510, suggested initializing with the 80/132 mode enabled. Says real terminals need padding... 960804 + Implement tests for: SL, SD, SU, SR + Modified "Test of screen features with ISO 6429 SGR 22-27 codes" to test concealed text.

VERSION 2.2 960721 + Initialize terminal with 80/132 switching enabled + Casper Dik explained why tests fail on Solaris 2.5 (can workaround with lots of fflush calls ;-) 960716 + Add tests for CDE-compatible xterm VERSION 2.1 960708 + Change background color to blue for tests (some yellows and greens are too close together). 960702 + Added extended graphic-rendition tests (ISO 6429) VERSION 2.0 960624 + Added color/graphic-rendition, and color-scrolling tests. 960623 + Implemented color tests (test-pattern, bce-test, insert/delete lines) 960621 + Implemented auto-config for termios (tested on SunOS 4.1.1, IRIX 5.2, Solaris 5.4). 960618 + Modified to support nonstandard screen geometry. For example, you can test Linux console (which has 25 lines) by typing 'vttest 25'. + Implemented auto-config for termio (tested on SunOS 4.1.1). 960617 + Corrected broken write-to-string-constant in tst_keyboard(). + Split-out logic for ttymodes.c + Converted to ANSI C (it's a lot easier to avoid breaking code when all of the interfaces are fully specified). + Split-out sargasso.h from header.h, to avoid nested-comment syntax. (I don't think anyone will be using that again, anyway). + from original version (I've found nothing more recent ;-), marked 1.7b 1985-04-19, begin making changes to support testing for ANSI color features.
