IPv6 TeraTerm Pro

TeraTerm Pro 2.3 + TTSSH-1.5.4 / IPv6 0.82 (2004/06/02)

RUNTIME LIBRARY:

IPv6 version 0.8 or later requires runtime library. put DLL files included in mfcXX.zip to system folder such as C:\WINDOWS\system32.

mfc71.zip: it's not required if Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 is installed.

THE LATEST:

ttermp23-ipv6-0.82.zip: diff for TeraTerm Pro 2.3 binary and source code. TTSSH module is also included.

PREVIOUS RELEASE:

TeraTerm Pro 2.3 is a excellent terminal emulator and telnet client. The IPv6 TeraTerm Pro provides telnet connection with IPv6. Furthermore, TTSSH that processes SSH protocol is also modified to speak IPv6. The port forwarding function can work with IPv6. User has been able to login to ssh server with IPv6 so far now, even if non-IPv6 version TTSSH is installed. When only logging to a host, TTSSH uses TeraTerm's communication routines. But TTSSH has port forwarding mechanism itself. This mechanism doesn't use TeraTerm's communication routines.

IPv6 TeraTerm Pro runs on

Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1
Microsoft Windows 2000 SP1 + IPv6 Technology Preview (2000/12/05) (untested)
Microsoft Windows NT/2000 + MSRIPv6 1.4 (untested)

You have to install the original version TeraTerm Pro 2.3 written by Mr. Teranishi. The IPv6 version is provided as the difference against his original version. If you use TTSSH, you have to get original archive from TTSSH web site. The IPv6 archive includes only a modified module. See document contained in the archives to install IPv6 TeraTerm and TTSSH.

If you install IPv6 TeraTerm 0.5 or above, original ver. TTSSH has no compatibility. You must replace TTXSSH.DLL and LIBEAY32.DLL in IPv6 archive or recompile original TTSSH from source code. Because I modified some structure in TeraTerm to exchange protocol information. this structure is referred from add-on module.

NEW FEATURE in 0.82: update linked library: zlib-1.2.1 and OpenSSL 0.9.7d.
NEW FEATURE in 0.81: import ANSI color and newline patch.
see http://www.sakurachan.org/ml/teraterm/msg00264.html
NEW FEATURE in 0.8: 1. Rebuild with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. Old format workspace(.dsw) and project(.dsp) definition files are no longer supported.
2. update library modules: OpenSSL-0.9.7c and zlib-1.1.4
NEW FEATURE in 0.73: Fixed: status(title) bar doesn't reflect connecting status when TeraTerm connects COM port.
NEW FEATURE in 0.72: Expand HostName limit len 80 to 1024
NEW FEATURE in 0.71: Sync to TTSSH 1.5.4
Rebuild with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP5
NEW FEATURE in 0.7: Sync to TTSSH 1.5.3
NEW FEATURE in 0.62: Rebuild with IPv6 Technology Preview 2000/09/25.
NEW FEATURE in 0.61: Fixed: strange tab order for keyboard short cuts on startup screen.
NEW FEATURE in 0.6: GUI protocol selector is implemented. (image)
NEW FEATURE in 0.5: IPv6 enabled TTSSH-1.5.2 is included.
FONTAK14.BMP feature is imported. This feature enables TeraTerm can show Japanese characters with bitmap font derived from X11 bdf a14 and k14. It's so useful for non-Japanese Windows user.
Fixed a few thread-unsafe routines: resolver and connect() process.
Update Microsoft Platform SDK up to July 2000.TTSSH (required to build)
NEW FEATURE in 0.4: Fixed undefined INET6 macro. Rebuild with Microsoft Visual C++ SP4.
NEW FEATURE in 0.32: Protocol selector is partially implemented. This function works as same as "ssh -4" or "ssh -6." If you want to force TeraTerm to use IPv4 protocol, put "www.foo.bar.com /4" on TeraTerm command line (hostname filed). Also connecting with IPv6 only, put "www.foo.bar.com /6". If you don't put /4 or /6, protocol connecting to host is decided by TeraTerm (getaddrinfo()) automatically. GUI interface (image) is not implemented yet.
BUG INFORMATION in 0.31: 0.31 has a serious bug when you use ttssh. Ver. 0.31 with ttssh can't tell a ssh daemon some environment variables, which are TERM and other important variables. When ttssh isn't used this problem doesn't occur. It's fixed it in ver. 0.32 but very ad-hoc patch.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT:
I'd like to thank Mr. Teranishi for creating great and excellent software TeraTerm. I'd like to thank Mr. Goshi. and Robert O'Callahan. Mr. Goshi added FONTAK14.BMP feature to TeraTerm, which enables TeraTerm to show Japanaese character on non-Japanese Windows. And Robert O'Callahan make TeraTerm more secure by providing TTSSH. The latest TTSSH has been distributed under BSD license. It is worth decision for all software developers. WinDiff written by Mr. Nakagawa is so helpful to generate updater against TeraTerm. Also I thank him.
