- Overwrite parameters from host configuration from the shell. So carlos@plankton will override the user field on plankton.

This version has seen major improvements on Mosh, terminal display and keyboard support. Please read previous notes: - The terminal is faster and most of the identified glitches have been fixed. - We have added a Powerline font so you can have fun and test tools like zsh, tmux or spacemacs! - Mosh is now cleaner when restoring. - CAPS as Ctrl now preserves the state. Mapped Cmd and Alt special events to the right commands.
This version continues the previous goal to stabilise Mosh by exposing it to real life scenarios. Many problems have been fixed since last version: - Terminal problems have been fixed (misalignments, problems when switching to other apps, etc..) - Mosh issues fixed: Restore the session after device suspension; Mosh crashing right after start; Threading problems restarting a session.
- We now support Mosh < 1.2.5
- Added SplitView to continue the terminal work.
- Problems establishing a connection, multiple concurrent sessions open, closing connections correctly, reconnecting after long periods
- Keyboard support: For this version we have configured Ctrl, Cmd and Caps as Ctrl, Alt as meta.
- Terminal rendering glitches: Complex terminal layouts, split view positioning, Unicode, color rendering.
The purpose of this build is to test our Mosh version in real life scenarios that could help us identify errors and misbehaviours. Sorry if there are no bells and whistles yet, we want everyone to focus on stabilising our Mosh changes. ##What to test: - Problems establishing a connection, multiple concurrent sessions open, closing connections correctly, reconnecting after long periods... - Keyboard support: For this version we have configured Ctrl, Cmd and Caps as Ctrl, Alt as meta. - Terminal rendering glitches: Unicode, color rendering, garbled rendering...
