Over four years since the last stable release, SyncTERM v1.2 is nearing completion.

This is the third release candidate for SyncTERM v1.2. If there are no bugs, reported in the next week or two, this will become the official SyncTERM
release (for the next four years perhaps).

To that end, if you use SyncTERM, please try the rc3 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 rc2:
Get Haiku support building again
Properly quit video subsystem from video thread - fixes Haiku crash
Create dirs on macOS when needed - fixes adding first BBS
Fix cache subdirectories on Windows
Make File Locations window wider
Ensure window can be resized if started in fullscreen mode
Fix macOS mouse position reporting

Bugs and Support tickets (and feature requests) are tracked on the SourceForge page at http://sf.net/p/syncterm/ 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.

Unfortunately, the 1.2 release had a bug in the BBS list entry editor and is not recommended for use.

So now we have SyncTERM v1.3!

Going to fix that average time between releases!
