This is the second release candidate for SyncTERM v1.9. If there are no bugs, reported in the next week or two, this will become the official SyncTERM release.

To that end, if you use SyncTERM, please try the rc2 release, and report any bugs you find. If you're not sure if something is a bug, open a support ticket and ask.

Changes since 1.8:

• Fix error when scrolling with a non-black background colour
• Fix Prestel double-height bottom-half redraw on overwrite
• Fix key repeat on Wayland
• Fix Wayland content size change
• Fix Quartz and Wayland mapping on non-PC charsets (ATASCII etc)
• Change Qartz to map Command to Alt, not Option per Apple design
• Rework filepick widget

Bugs and Support tickets (and feature requests) are tracked on the SourceForge page, if you create a SourceForge account, you can be notified when I reply/fix bugs, and it really helps in case I need to ask follow-up questions, so please consider making that account and logging in before opening a ticket. That said, I would rather have bug reports as anonymous than not know about issues.
