All current TinyTERM for iOS products are supported on iOS 10: TinyTERM Enterprise, TinyTERM Plus, ViewML Industrial Browser and TinyTERM Lite. All TinyTERM products must be version 3.1.2 (released March 2016) or newer. Older products are not supported on iOS 10.

iOS 8 introduced a number of new features to iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches. We have updated our TinyTERM for iOS product line to match.

New Product

TinyTERM Plus for iOS

TinyTERM Plus for iOS is a universal binary that runs equally well on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. It is fully iOS 8-compatible and replaces our discontinued products. TinyTERM Plus includes support for all our exact terminal emulations – VT420, SCO ANSI, Wyse, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 and more – and is available directly from Century Software.

Upgraded Products

TinyTERM Lite version 2.1.1

TinyTERM Lite for iOS is a fully iOS 8-compatible universal binary with support for all our exact terminal emulations: VT420, SCO ANSI, Wyse, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 and more. Previous versions of TinyTERM Lite are not compatible with iOS 8. It is available free from the iOS App Store.

TinyTERM Enterprise version 2.1.1

TinyTERM Enterprise includes all the features of TinyTERM Plus, and adds in a scanner-enabled Industrial Browser and configuration lockdown. Previous versions of TinyTERM Enterprise are not iOS 8-compatible. It is available from the iOS App Store, via volume purchase through the B2B store, or direct from Century Software.

Discontinued Products

Our previous TinyTERM ITX series will be end-of-lifed on September 12, 2014, as they are not iOS 8-compatible. They will continue to run on iOS versions 5 through 7, but they will no longer be developed. We recommend you back up your iOS device if you wish to retain these versions:

TTIOS-331

TinyTERM Enterprise for iOS can be installed via HTTP, among other methods. On iOS 7.1, this now requires that the manifest.plist file be served via HTTPS. Prior versions of iOS allowed this to be served via HTTP. More information is available at http://university.utest.com/question/ios-7-1-how-can-i-resolve-the-certificate-is-not-valid-error-when-performing-an-ota-install/.

iOS 7 introduced a number of changes. This causes TinyTERM ITX products — TinyTERM Enterprise, TinyTERM Pro, TinyTERM ITX 2, TinyTERM ITX 3270 and TinyTERM ITX 5250 — to behave differently than under prior iOS versions. In addition to cosmetic issues stemming from the look-and-feel changes in iOS 7, the following issues have been identified:

• The title bar at the top of the screen overlaps the status bar.
• The content window, emulator or browser, is 20 pixels too short.
• The top iPhone configuration color selector displays behind the title bar.
• Enabling certain Debug Settings can cause an application exception.
• Username and password popups don’t accept input, requiring that these items be saved in the configuration.
• The Connect button fails after changing the printer settings from within the configuration.
• Bluetooth devices such as keyboards and scanners drop characters.
• With Hide Title Bar turned on, the “show titlebar” arrow overlaps the status bar.
• Print alignment is incorrect in some jobs.

Note that development on TinyTERM for iPad v1.2.5 and TinyTERM ITX for iPhone v1.0.2 ended in June 2012. These products will not be updated for iOS 7 compatibility.

TTIOS-160

In TinyTERM ITX 2, Wyse50 emulation does not always clear the screen as it should. This leaves characters behind from previous screens, causing display problems with new screen display.

CR 1104

When using TinyTERM Pro for iPad, a transparent print job that has a full 80-character line ending in a CR/LF pair is counted incorrectly. This throws off the count for a full page, which causes the print job to have incorrect page break placement.

CR 1103

When using AirPrint for a transparent print job, a full 80-character line that ends in a carriage return/line feed pair (CRLF) is counted as two lines, even though it prints as one. This throws off the page length counter, causing the print job to feed a new page before it’s needed.

CR 1102

TinyTERM ITX 2 and TinyTERM Pro for iOS both convert all Ctrl-J characters (ASCII 10) sent from the on-screen keyboard to Ctrl-M (ASCII 13) before sending them to the host. This change was made deliberately for customers who prefer the standard iPad keyboard. However, there is no way to revert this behavior if the ^J character is needed.

CR 1101, fixed in March 2013 releases
