Change Notes
HSB.22 - Always read ScreenBuffer on gaining control to avoid merged screens
In rare occasions, 5250 screen updates could be merged. This has been fixed in this release.
HSB.23 - Remove RawDatum from serialized buffer to avoid edge-case failure when using SignalR JSON messaging
When using 3270 with SignalR messaging in JSON mode, screens with character attributes would fail. This has been fixed in this release.
HSS.57 - Clear Extended Attributes when mainframe clears the screen
When using 3270, in some rare cases, it was possible that extended attributes would not be correctly cleared from the screen during a screen transition. This has been fixed in this release.
WTH.33 - Correctly stop all sessions when IIS web server stops
When IIS stops (or restarts) any sessions connected via the Web Terminal Client would only be disconnected by the HostScreen Server using configured time outs. These sessions become inaccessible as soon as IIS stops.
When IIS stops (or restarts) any sessions connected via the Web Terminal Client are now correctly and immediately disconnected.
LS.8 - Fixed the setting of the failover log level
The failover log level when the logging server is unavailable was not always being applied correctly. This has been fixed.
WTH.35 - Fixed session-clash when stopping / starting many sessions simultaneously
A fix to the session dictionary used by the Web Terminal Hub has increased the speed at which sessions can be started and stopped, avoiding a "cannot start session" error.
WTC.298 - Fixed incorrectly handled null characters in double-byte-only fields
When using 3270 with double-byte characters (for example, Japanese), it was possible for Web Terminal Client to set the null character to single-byte null, instead of the correct double-byte null. This has been fixed.
