Summary
A GNU/GPL telnet client for connecting to BBS site ptt.cc
New in 1.5:
- switch to use sockets.tcp API from the deprecated socket API.
- setKeepAlive to improve disconnecting issues, append ?keepAlive=(seconds)
- use browser API's openTab so that clicking on app icon will open in chrome tab instead of in default browser.
In 1.4:
- used a new default font file (MingLiUNoGlyph) to replace symmingliu
- For SSH connection, append ?ssh=true to the url.
- Blacklist can now load/backup with Google Drive documents.
- Large blacklist is saved locally only, no sync, you'll need to use Google Drive.
- Settings to automatically reply to duplicated logins (in Autologins settings tab).
- Live article helper added to context menu, can use alt + r to toggle.
- Switching easy reading mode in settings no longer require a restart.
