This version adds support for sending and receiving Virtual Terminal Sequences in Windows 10 (older windows versions do not support this feature). This means SimplySerial now supports cursor key functions (such as scrolling through command history), text colour/formatting sequences and more.

I have only been able to test these new features on a fully updated Windows 10 machine, and only on a couple of devices that make pretty basic use of VT sequences, so for now have released this as a beta version. If you try it and run into any problems, please report the issue here so it can be addressed as soon as possible. I am looking for feedback on these items specifically:

  • How well does SimplySerial handle menu-based programs, like raspi-config through a Raspberry Pi serial console connection?
  • What happens when you try to run this version on older windows versions (Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7)?
