MidpSSH development version 1.7.0 released

We begin the ongoing development of MidpSSH with a few small steps. This release includes the following fixes and changes:

• Fix the radio button bug on the Blackberry Pearl that prevented Pearl users from changing font sizes, or from SSH to Telnet etc.
• Settings forms no longer have an OK and Back option, they just have a back option. Reducing the number of options improves the UI on some device (you don’t have to activate a menu to choose OK or Back, there is just a Back option), and simplifies the usability. The only downside is that you can no longer cancel your changes, however I hope that none of the forms are major enough to make that a problem
• Support software upgrades including:
  • Proguard upgrade from 3.3.2 to 3.8
  • Antenna upgrade from 0.9.13 to 0.9.14
  • Upgrade to WTK2.5
  • BlackBerry JDE upgrade to 4.2.0

You can download the latest development version from the usual places. Please try it out and post feedback; especially Blackberry Pearl users. Unresolved problems on the Blackberry include trying to make the trackball “click” activate the default action, rather than bringing up a menu. I’ve looked around at this and haven’t found a solution. It seems like just the continuing second-class-citizen status of MIDP applications on Blackberry!
