Change Log 0.4.11 - 2019-08-23
- Added new use_pipe_color flag to the dialing directory.  This translates PIPE Color Codes
  that are displayed, yet not translated by older BBS Systems.  This will do the work so that 
  Message and other text on older BBS Software can look as nice as modern software without 
  ugly pipe codes displaying everywhere.

Change Log 0.4.10 - 2019-08-21
- Refactored Dialing Directory XML and FontSets to Yaml
- FontSets are regenerated automatically and 
  The Dialing Directory will detect if the XML already exists and convert
  it to the new Yaml file format.  If none exists it will generate a default entry.
- This is more an update release to get all project file updated back in sync
  There are several things that need to be rewritten or finished in the Dialing Directory
  for creating and managing new systems.  This alone with better SSH support will be 
  updated.  right now you have to put a login and password in the SystemEntry to use SSH
  Input fields and configuration are high on the list to get worked on next.
  After this more updates to transfer protocols.
  
Change Log 0.4.9 - 2019-07-11
- Fixed Issues - Most likely long standing with Posix/*nix systems and the dialing 
  directory not displaying correctly. This was fixed in 0.4.9-alpha Branch but was 
  never merged back to Master, So making a few updates until 0.4.10-alpha is ready.

Change Log 0.4.7 - 2019-07-10 - Merge to Master
- Fixed Posix issue with missing SOCKET definition on some Linux builds
- Added new PostBuild to cleanup of Makefiles to remove my develop paths to make it
  easier to build from the command line.  This will now automatically clean when i build the project
  so when code changes are committed the Makefiles will be already cleaned.
  NOTE, i don't have FreeBSD and OSX VM's working right now, so those projects will be updated lateron.
- Fixed Display bug in Posix with Dialing Directory and MCI Code Off-Sets

Change Log 0.4.7 - 2018-04-07
- Re-Added Back Protocol for testing downloads. WIP.
- Added back pulling screen size 80x25, 80x50 etc.. from Dialing Directory.

Change Log 0.4.6 - 2017-12-29
- Include SDL2_net into project, added custom fix for SO_KEEPALIVE so idle
  chat connections would not lose passed socket handles.  (fe.. MRC Chat on BBSes)
- Tested new compiles and updated all platform project files, Win32, FreeBSD, Linux, OSX,
  and ARM which uses the same Linux project but gcc7.x with Arch.
  Also include new IRC include files while the implementation is a WIP.

Change Log 0.4.5 - 2017-12-28
- ESC[C Cursor forward will no longer move to next line
- Added extra shutdown management to session manager so give sessions some time
  to finish their last updates on disconnects to avoid any exception errors.
- WIP, Started IRC Session Socket Connections and added initial irc_manager class.
  Initial connections are working, now need to parse responses and setup client
  command parsing.

Change Log 0.4.4 - 2017-12-23
- Added ESC[6n Response Queue.  Systems like Enigma BBS query 6+ ESC[6n
  sequences and without response directly to all 6, fields appears out of order.
  to correct this, a queue was setup when parsing so that all write sequences
  are compiled and sent as a single response.

Change Log 0.4.3 - 2017-12-13
- Re-Implemented ESC and menu options (Q) and Lightbar Enter for exiting program
- Re-Implemented ALT + H to hang up on connections
- Re-Implemented ALT + ETNER to toggle window sizes on connections includes full screen 
- Re-Implemented ALT + ENTER to toggle window sizes on Dialing directory minus full screen
  Full screen removed from dialing directory because it spawn each connection in it's own
  separate window, if the dialing directory is full screen it doesn't transfer focus properly.
  some more tweaks to follow.

Change Log 0.4.2 - 2017-12-11
- Created FreeBsd Project.
  Tested on FreeBSD 11 using clang LLVM
- Updated files and project for clean compile on FreeBsd and clang
- Cleaned up Linux Project files and removed left over boost references.

Change Log 0.4.1 - 2017-12-11

- Re-Implemented new io_service after ripping out boost.
created async_read, async_write, async_connect which work as drop in drop replacements
- Re-implemented SSH from 2.x branch
- Lots of cleanup with cppCheck and cross compiling on Linux 
- WIP 3.x features rolled back, next on list to re-implement.
- WIP re-implement ALT + ENTER Window resizing to Full Screen Toggle
- WIP re-implement ALT + H To hang-up
- WIP re-implement External Protocols
- WIP re-implement Window Size (default 80x25) as dialing directory config option

- WIP Remove Boost and re-add SDL2_Net for Libs functionality same as 2.x branch   

Change Log 3.0.46 - 2017-10-03
- Fixed ESC[C Cursor Movement to not wrap when it hits end of Term Width.

Change Log 3.0.45 - 2016-09-04

For invalid arguments, to avoid option looks.

Change Log 3.0.44 - 2016-05-19
- Added support for external protocols for file transfers.
- Initial tests with Zmodem download are working
- Probably add options and create protocol.xml file for x, y, z modem
  and the command lines for each.

Change Log 3.0.43 - 2016-05-09
- Added Height/Width settings Terminal settings to dialing directory xml
- Added Texture Filtering settings to the dialing directory xml
- Note, that current window setup is to resize the screen to the window
  This just happens ignore texture filtering. So part II needs to 
  set a static screen size and allow to GPU to resize window like in 2.x
- Also testing some new scaled font surface and alpha recolor which 
speeds up the display.

Change Log 3.0.42 - 2016-04-12
- Added some exception handing on closing sockets to lock down some freezing
on system disconnects or session closes.

Change Log 3.0.41 - 2016-01-31
- Added initial support for new term sizes, temp hard coded but creating sessions
in 80x25, 80x50 etc.. are working.  Still need to add to dialing directory or 
xml file to set for each connection individually.

Change Log 3.0.40 - 2016-01-30
- Source Cleanup and Re sync
- Fixed issues with background window/connection disconnecting
leaving the input for the active hung.
- Reset to Active Window when closing down a session is now handled better.

Change Log 3.0.39 - 2016-01-28
- Cursor issue is now fixed and setup per session basis,
Move out of the SessionManager.
- Cursor and incoming events are also placed on hold per session
when their event is doing text selection, this stops the cursor
blinking from overwrite the text selection box being drawn.
- ISSUE: When a background window disconnects the first window gains 
focus causing the last active window to look input.

1. Need to mark windows active and only switch focus if the Active window
closed.

2. Need to add input grab to make sure the new focused window has full 
text input available.

Change Log 3.0.38 - 2016-01-28
- Added New Window Position Cascading to move around next window created
So each window is not exactly spawned on top of each other.
- Added back Font Switching by Syncterm ESC Sequences
- ISSUE: Cursor blinks on first connection, but not on second connection.
- ISSUE: Need to toggle cursor off during text selection for copy/paste.

Change Log 3.0.37 - 2016-01-25
- Exception issue with Cursor display is now resolved.
- Blinking cursor is now working 

Change Log 3.0.36 - 2016-01-24
- Added Boost::Exception handling on main Interface loop to catch
exceptions in io_service when execute Async systems like connection.
Exceptions are thrown on unknown hostname when connecting out.      
- Working expect ion on displaying the cursor, then disconnecting,  shutdown
seems to be access something it shouldn't so need to spend time tracking
this down, I'm thinking a surface that is no longer existing.  

Change Log 3.0.35 - 2016-01-24
- Set Focus to first available window once a session window is closed.
This has been reworked a few time, Now setup to use the session manager
to set a flag on any disconnected system during the session->leave()
Once a system is detected in the main thread, a call to reset focus
to the first available window in the session_manager is made.
- Added back copy selection into clip board for copy/paste functionality.
- WIP add back cursor and blinking next.

Change Log 3.0.34 - 2016-01-23
- Fixed Rendering and Normal Screen Scrolling on long ANSI screen
Added new code to clear the last line when scrolling up the screen up
So there is nothing left over when the new line is drawn.

Change Log 3.0.33 - 2016-01-23
- Fixed issues with multiple connections, more then 1, the program would freeze
in the input loop.  Added a return after processing event so it doesn't
Iterate to the next session when the Iterator pointer is no longer valid.

Change Log 3.0.32 - 2016-01-20
- Added Shutdown Procedures for Connections not yet established.
Eg.. Closing a the Window during a connection is now handled.

Change Log 3.0.31 - 2016-01-19
- Fixed issues with Telnet Option Parsing and Responses.
Added new Vector<unsigned char> buffer to better handle 
binary sequence data without losing values on socket.read()
- Also testing converting and sending out data on a new
Vector<unsigned char> to make sure data values are proper
for full 8 bit support.
- Also fixed ESC[6n replies on current character screen position.
- Need to look over rendering issues when scrolling, since were not
using the extra screen size clipping (Maybe go back to it?!?)
the last line doesn't seems to be clearing properly on long scrollers.

Change Log 3.0.30 - 2016-01-18
- Fixed issues with create a new session in Async thread.
- Also fixed shutdown issues when the system doesn't connect
The socket is still considered open, so you can only call 
close() on the socket, not both close() and shutdown()!
- Telnet Option passing still WIP, have to debug a little more
on system not passing the TermType which was just added to XML.

Change Log 3.0.29 - 2016-01-17 / 18
- Starting on Connections
- Adding Creating and Connection Instance to SessionManager Queue from MenuManager.
- Connections are working, however need to add in telnet option passing to handle
incoming data properly.  Also have to make sure Async Sockets in separate thread
are allowing the main thread to process the data properly. 
- Added In Telnet Definitions and created new TelnetManager class for option negotiations.
- Also added new TermType to the DialDirectoy XML file.  This is the Terminal type sent to the 
server on connections ANSI is default, others could be XTERM depend on the shell or server
* ISSUE:
- Just realized that Connection Swaps are done in the async.connection callback
which is threaded with IO_Service.  SDL Events can't hit Windows that are swapped in threads
go figure.  So right now it connects and renders, but then freezes because it can't handle
events.  So this needs to be reworked to register a connection, passing the socket, then
a new session needs to be swapped separately from the Interface class not in a thread! WIP!

Change Log 3.0.28 - 2016-01-16
- Refactored Broadcaster to SessionManager for better description of function
- Update shutdown procedure, if DialDirectory Window/Session is closed, then 
all Sessions are closed and program is shutdown.  Otherwise individual 
sessions are closed only when clicking X on the window.
- Added HOME and END to DialDirectory to move quickly to First and Last entry.
- Also reworked the menu system a bit changing ESC Functions keys from looping
vector to a single std::map for KeyValue and quicker lookups.

Change Log 3.0.27 - 2016-01-15
- Worked in KeyMaps passed from Sessions to InputHandler
By default ANSI mapping is selected for dial directory
- Added SystemConnection passing from Interface class to spawn
new sessions with connection info and keyMapping which 
is then passed to the InputHandler
- Added Broadcaster new SafeQueue to hold connection spawn, this
can be populated from within the session then read by Interface Class
using the SafeQueue.
- WIP Added HOME/END to dial directory
- WIP Finishing Connection System to call out from dial directory.

Change Log 3.0.26 - 2016-01-11
- Added Back Window Resize Events
- Added Back Mouse Selection for Text Copy/Paste
- Window Resize on ALT + ENTER are still WIP.

Change Log 3.0.25 - 2016-01-09
- Added Windows Close Event Handling to shutdown Windows on clicking X
- Still need to add switch to check for Main Session, So Closing dialing 
directory shuts down all windows, while just closing connection and secondary
sessions just kills each session.  The base is already setup.
- Update default ANSI theme screen names to match themes
Still WIP on second test Theme Fire_Theme. Might just to test switching.

Change Log 3.0.24 - 2016-01-07
- Themes are reorganized and cleaner
- Created new folder in assets for to organize directory themes
- Created new folder for fonts
- Added Mid ANSI's for light bars to ini files
- Renamed files for better theme organization.

Change Log 3.0.23 - 2016-01-06
- Added Themes to the Dialing Directory, The ANSI/ASCII screen along with
Light bars for both the systems list and light bar commands have always 
been open and customizable.  Now by created a new DialDirectory.ini
and appending 1..2..3.. like DialDirectory1.ini you can setup each ini to point
to different theme templates to personalize your interface use to some 
pre-make ones that will be created.  Themes can be quick switched using 
then brackets '[' and ']' keys for switching between next and previous themes.
- Todo, update the Redraw light bar commands once themes are switched.
- Checked that Themes are working with different font sets, now to test menu
templates for different light bar colors and positions alone with the system
listing light bars, colors, and box sizes.      

Change Log 3.0.22 - 2016-01-05
- Created new Fontset.xml file to hold all system fonts with names, height,
width, filename and ESC sequence for automatic font switching.  
The availability to set the sequence in the XML is an added bonus to set
a preference.  For example.  If ESC[0;40 D is received for Amiga Topaz,
however you preference is to see Topaz Plus, you can set this ESC sequence
under the preferred font so it will be used instead.  All fonts are now
configurable.
- Also updated the Dialing Directory to pull front names from the new xml set.

Change Log 3.0.21 - 2016-01-05
- Fixed Shutdown with Broadcaster
- Tested Initial Rendering with 640x400, still need to work on switching
modes and scaling for the best quality/performance.
- Working on reintegrating the menu system.
- Input passing to the menu system is now working.
- Dialing Directory is now displaying with input for light bar movements.
Right now only arrow keys are working. Need to look at default Key Mappings
to make sure PAGEUP/DN etc are all captured correctly on the local side.

Change Log 3.0.20 - 2015-12-24
- Good Progress, Finally have the Classes loading in sync and
clean destruction in sync.
- Also have added broadcaster to hold all active sessions.
- Move main loop from Main() to Interface->Startup()
This keeps sessions and windows alive, falling back to main
seems to have been clearing pointers.  
- Able to render the full VGA character setup in a basic window.
WIP
- Still loads of work to do, test the SequenceDecoder.
- Add processing and passing events to each session.
- Getting session data and passing it back through to the decoder
so it reaches he SequenceParser and renders on the screen.
- Render scaling on the fly to different and pre-set sizes without blur
when using texture filtering.

Change Log 3.0.19 - 2015-12-23
- Reworked the startup and shutdown sequences.
- Added weak_prt for shared_from_this() so the main session
instance being passed would not lock and stay alive.
- WIP SessionList container in the Interface, research the best 
container for the job to easily main and release sessions.

Change Log 3.0.18 - 2015-12-22
- Initial Startup sequence of session is working now. 
Added startup() called externally to properly start the render
with shared_from_this() object.  Now to work on renderer startup.

Change Log 3.0.17 - 2015-12-22
- Code Cleanup and Working the MenuManager into the Local Session

system any longer.

Change Log 3.0.16 - 2015-12-22
- Initial rework of MenuManager and the menu system completed.
- Added back the SystemConnection structure
- Next is to incorporate into the interface to spawn the menu
session, then rework connection spawns from the MenuManager

The plan is to replace this with boost later on once the major
rework is completed.

Change Log 3.0.15 - 2015-12-21
- Added MenuFunction and MenuManager.
- WIP Reworking MenuManager.
Need to rework the system connection structure that is used to hold

- Complete initial rework of Renderer class, along with
The ScreenBuffer and PixelScreen Structs.  
- NOTES: SetupCursorSurface() in renderer should be redone eventually
to not use the underscore from the current font set since it can be 
in different positions it's not ideal.  Should create a custom char
for this eventually.
- NOTES: Showing the blinking cursor is disabled at this time, get back
to this once we have everything going again.
- Next Items are the Data decoder, Input Data Queue, and Dialing Directory.
