The first update to Remote Terminal is now available in the Windows Store.
Remote Terminal now supports multiple simultaneous connections, and there were some important fixes regarding the telnet protocol negotiation and the terminal emulation.
Multiple simultaneous connections
According to user feedback and my own opinion this was the most important feature missing so I implemented it first.
I tried to make the UI as intuitive as possible but in case something is unclear: the back button on the terminal page, which brings you back to the favorites page, doesn't close the connection anymore, it stays connected and you can switch between the open connections, as well as disconnect them, with the top AppBar. That way you can also connect to the same favorite multiple times, if the server supports it.
There will be some improvements to this feature in the future, I already have some things in mind.
Other changes:
* Fixed an error in the Telnet terminal negotiation resulting in garbage being displayed and no response to any user input
* Terminal emulation fixes (Tab stops, "Insertion replacement mode", line wrapping behaviour in auto wrap mode)
* Fixed a big memory leak in the terminal page happening each time it was navigated to
I still couldn't reproduce one particular problem reported by a user connecting to a Cisco router where the "enable" command's password prompt is output again after each entered password character.
If it was not already fixed by the terminal emulation improvements in this update, it will be fixed in the next update.
I appreciate all your e-mails and App reviews/ratings, which are mostly very positive, thank you!
I'm planning to release the next update some time next week.
