Details

Updated x3270 packages that resolve several issues are now available.

x3270 is an emulator for the IBM 3278 (monochrome) and 3279 (color) terminals.

[Updated 27 February 2008]
* x3270 is no longer dependent upon the libicu-devel package.

These updated x3270 packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

* font sizes did not scale up appropriately when the window was enlarged.

* the '--enable-app-defaults' option did not work the same as it did in
previous versions of this package.

* incompatibility with icu-3.6 caused an RPM build failure. The package is
now built with a newer, compatible version of icu.

* the man page for x3270 was missing from the RPM.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated x3270 packages, which resolve
these issues.
