    From Rob Swindell (on Windows)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Sun Sep 17 04:34:48 2023
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/f28c4bc94a89a0ea117481f8
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/js_console.cpp
    Log Message:
    If console.uselect() is called just with the number argument, use as default

    This allows the calling script to control what the default item is (when the user just hits enter), and not always the first item.

    Fixes issue #637

    Log Message:
    Rename console.crlf() to console.newline(), leaving crlf() as an alias

    Also use sbbs_t::newline() as the underlying implementation of console.newline() rather than a hard-coded CR/LF output loop.

    Added new console methods:
    cond_newline() - equivalent of Ctrl-A/
    cond_blankline() - equivlaent of Ctrl-A?
    cond_contline() - equivalent of Ctrl-A\

    ... so a JS script author doesn't have to output Ctrl-A codes to invoke those functions.

    Add console.linefeed() method - for completionism

    Seriously though, this doesn't always do the same thing as outputting a '\n' (e.g. in PETSCII mode, it sends a "cursor down" (17) control character).

    New console property: unicode_zerowidth (either 0 or 1)

    The column-width of UNICODE 'zero-width' character is now autodetected. This property allows one to use/change this autodetected width (normally 0 or 1). ---

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/js_console.cpp
    Log Message:
    Parse console.inkey() timeout parameter as an *unsigned* integer

    A negative timeout value doesn't make sense and this will extend the legal (positive) range of this parameter value.

    Hopefully this will help eliminate these errors I get often:
    dd_lightbar_menu.js line 4041: Error: can't convert inputTimeoutMS to an
    integer

    But if there's some way that this parameter value is even out of the range of an unsigned 32-bit value (4294967295) then this error could still happen. Unfortunately, the JS exception doesn't report the value that failed to convert.

    This is useful for tracking how many items were successfully added to a
    uselect list (considering filtering by ARS).
