Classical mainframe applications are still part of the IT
infrastructure of most large enterprises. The challenge is
often to integrate them with more recent, browser-based systems.
h3270 allows you to do that
in two steps:
2007-03-02 |
h3270 version 1.3.3
released.
The change to the keyboard handling model that we made in
version 1.3.2 has shown to be insufficient (screens with
no input fields did not accept input in h3270 anymore).
In this release, the keyboard handling model is changed
again so that it should deal well with any such
situations.
For details, see
the release notes.

2006-12-13 |
h3270 version 1.3.2
released. A new feature in this release is that you can
now have multiple h3270 sessions open at the same
time, from the same browser. This works both in the servlet
version (where you can have multiple h3270 windows or tabs
open), and in the Portlet version (multiple h3270 portlets
on the same page). For details, see
the release notes.
|
2006-06-13 |
h3270 version 1.3.1
released. This release adds support for some
3270 extended attributes (colors and highlighting).
The generated HTML should now be XHTML-compliant. Several
bugs were fixed. Thanks to all who contributed code to this
release.
|
2005-12-06 |
h3270 version 1.3
released. The most notable change is that h3270 now
comes with a portlet that is compliant with
the JSR-168 Portlet API. You can deploy it to any
compliant portal server such as Jetspeed or the IBM
WebSphere Portal Server. We are also working on an
h3270 IView for the SAP Portal Server, and
provide some alpha-quality code for it in the current
release. The original stand-alone web application continues
to exist as well. For details, please see
the release notes.

2005-06-15 |
h3270 version 1.2.3
released. This is an update release which fixes a few
layout problems and includes updated documentation. There
is a small new feature that may be interesting for many
users: You can now restrict h3270 so that users can only
connect to a single host with it. See
the release notes for details.
|
2005-05-31 |
Numerous updates to this web site. Among other things,
notice the new Firefox logo on the left. While we make every
effort to keep h3270 compatible with every browser on the
market, most of our testing is done using Firefox, and we
recommend it as our browser of choice.
|
2004-12-05 |
Due to popular demand, binary packages for
GNU/Linux and Windows have been added to the 1.2.2 release
(see Download link on the left). The filenames are
h3270-1.2.2-bin-linux.tgz and h3270-1.2.2-bin-windows.zip,
respectively. They contain a vanilla Tomcat 5.0.28
installation with h3270 deployed into it as a web
application. Included is a pre-built binary of s3270 for the
respective architecture. For documentation and source code,
please keep using the full download, h3270-1.2.2.tar.gz or
h3270-1.2.2.zip.
|
2004-12-01 |
h3270 version 1.2.2
released. This is a maintenance release without any new
features. h3270 properly ignores extended attributes now
(which we don't support yet). The build process has been
streamlined and the documentation has been updated.
|
2004-10-20 |
h3270 version
1.2.1 released. This release fixes a bug.
No new features were added.
|
2004-09-18 |
h3270 version
1.2 released. see the
release notes for details.
|
2004-07-26 |
h3270 version
1.2-pre1 released. Since our initial release in
December, we've learned that many people are happy with the
character-based terminal emulation of h3270. They have no
need for the more advanced, regex-based rendering engine.
So we have spent some more work on the character-based mode,
to make it behave like a real terminal emulator. This
release adds the most crucial missing pieces: support for
colors and multi-line input fields (see the release notes for details).
This is a prelease of the upcoming version 1.2. Since the
data model inside h3270 changed considerably, we felt
that people should be able to give it a try first, before
we make the full release of 1.2.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think. The best forum for
this is the h3270-devel mailing list. (Subscription link
on the left.)

2004-04-13 |
h3270 version 1.1
released. Our first release in December really attracted
a small but growing community around h3270. Due to a lot
of positive feedback, version 1.1 is a maintenance release
that contains some minor new features mostly suggested by
users. This includes:
- All PC function keys are now passed to h3270 (some
of them used to be intercepted by the browser or
operating system).
- Support for hidden, unmodifiable fields has been
added.
- The standard z/OS login screen can now be handled by
h3270 (it contains a multiline field which we couldn't
deal with before). There is no full support for multiline
fields yet, but we plan that for the next release.
Enjoy, and please keep that feedback coming!

2003-12-11 |
h3270 version 1.0
released. |
2003-12-05 |
SourceForge is reconfiguring their mailing list
servers, and so our mailing lists h3270-announce and
h3270-devel have not been created yet. We'd like to wait
with the full release until they are there, and so
we're postponing 1.0 until next week. Until then,
anonymous CVS already gives you access to this code.
|
2003-12-03 |
The source is now available via CVS. Documentation
updated, see Release Notes, Installation and User Guide.
The actual 1.0 release will follow by the end of the week.
|
2003-11-28 |
Web site goes live. We are now sorting out the final
bits and pieces and will make the first release available
on 2003-12-03.
