v24.0 [Apr 22, 2015]
- GSSAPI/SSPI over SSH support. When you run IVT on a Windows PC that is part of an Active Directory domain (or Kerberos Realm), you can login without using passwords, on hosts that are part of that AD domain.
- Better integration with MIT Kerberos for windows (must now be installed separately from the MIT download site).
- Same goes for WinSCP, please install separately.
- New HIGHLIGHT feature: when text matching Perl-style regular expressions appears on screen it can be highlighted and actions can be associated with such highlighted text.
- See here for an example, where error messages from a compiler are recognized, and highlighted. When clicked, an IVT script automatically starts your favourite editor on the proper file and line.
- This can be used to recognize arbitrary patterns and start arbitrary actions either automatically, or when the user clicks on them.
- One standard HIGHLIGHT is the one for URLs: any URL displayed on an IVT session is made bright-blue underlined and starts a browser when clicked (so it looks like a link and acts like a link).
- Integration with regular expressions, Perl style.
- Matching and replacing strings, waiting on host data and highlighting texts can als be specified in regular expressions using the powerful Perl syntax.
- Searching scrollback data now also supports regexp based searching.
- Smart paste: common characters found in Word documents such as left-quote, right-quote and various others are automatically translated by IVT upon pasting into their logical ASCII equivalents so they are recognized by the Unix Shell.
- The upshot is that copy/pasting Shell commands from a Word document simply works.
- Many improvements to file transfer: Just drop files on the IVT window while the session is at the Shell prompt and IVT will transfer the files.
- Lots of new functions added to the IVT scripting language.
- Many improvements to the NEWWIN option, where IVT does not open a session in a new tab, but opens a new window instead.
- Dozens of other minor extensions, bugfixes and improvements.
