In this release we have made it possible to map physical buttons and external keyboard buttons and key combinations to Glink keys and functions. We have also added support for Honeywell mobile computers via Data intents, and improved support for Japanese host code pages in the 5250 emulation. There are also other minor corrections and improvements in this version.
The upgrade is free for customers who purchased earlier versions of the Glink for Android products with support.
