This version adds support for sending and receiving Virtual Terminal Sequences. This means SimplySerial can now interpret text colour and formatting sequences sent by connected devices, and supports sending the following special keys to connected devices:

  • Cursor (Up, Down, Left, Right)
  • Home, End
  • Insert, Delete
  • Page Up, Page Down

Note that - although this version stills runs on Windows 7/8, the new features are only supported on Windows 10. (Older Windows versions lack the required underlying features.)

Thanks to Github user @longwdl for suggesting this feature and helping to test the implementation!
