Changes in SecureFX 6.2.3 (Official) -- September 10, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------- Changes: - SecureFX uses the Microsoft developer libraries that contain the 07/28/2009 ATL update. Changes in SecureFX 6.2.2 (Official) -- July 2, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------- Changes: - Added support for administratively prohibiting checking for updates from within SecureFX. Bug fixes: - SecureFX crashed when an attempt to transfer a file from Internet Explorer was made. - SecureFX crashed if an attempt was made to use a session that had been disconnected by an internal timeout. - SecureFX crashed if "/../.." was entered in the address bar, the root folder ("/") was selected, and then "/../.." was entered in the address bar again. - SecureFX could crash if a session was in the middle of reconnecting when an attempt to navigate to a different folder was cancelled. - Entering a path in the address bar could occasionally cause SecureFX to display duplicate entries and crash. - The installer did not honor LICENSE_FILE or CONFIG_FOLDER_PATH entries that were specified in an ANSWERFILE. - Silent installs did not add the program to the Start menu or the list of installed programs in the Windows Control Panel. - SSH2: Previously, the default GEX preferred key size was changed from 2046 to 2048. However, the GSSAPI GEX maximum key size was still 2046, which caused the server to report an error and disconnect the session when GSSAPI GEX was used. Changes in SecureFX 6.2.1 (Official) -- April 28, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------ Bug fixes: - SecureFX could not be installed on systems where InstallShield custom actions do not work. - If a license with a maintenance date in the format MM-DD-YY was entered, SecureFX crashed. - In the Synchronize dialog, if the "Download only" or "Mirror remote" option was selected, the local and remote paths were switched in the dialog. The synchronization operation used the correct paths. - In the Connect dialog, a session that was copied could not be pasted more than two times. - If the Visual Studio 2008 DLLs were not in the side-by-side cache, MFC90.DLL errors were written to the event viewer when SecureFX ran. - FTP: File attributes were not shown for FTP servers that used UNIX.* file attributes, such as NcFTPd Server. - FTP: If the default transfer type was set to ASCII, SecureFX issued a SIZE command after a LIST of the file, which caused some servers to report the error "Failed to retrieve information on the source item. It will be skipped." - SFTP: SecureFX could crash while attempting to transfer a file from a security gateway, such as the GENBAND S2(TM) Security Gateway. - SSH2: If an RSA key with a passphrase was added in the Manage Agent Keys dialog and the wrong passphrase was entered, the incorrect error "The key packet is corrupt, damaged, or incompatibly formatted" was reported and was still reported after the correct passphrase was entered. Changes in SecureFX 6.2 (Official) -- March 31, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------- No changes. Changes in SecureFX 6.2 (Beta 3) -- March 19, 2009 -------------------------------------------------- Bug fixes: - SecureFX crashed if the File menu was selected after the menu bar was reset to Default from the Menus tab in the Customize menu. - When generating a public key in the Key Generation wizard, the progress bar was not displayed until after the key had been generated. - Three-year licenses were not being honored. - In the Connect dialog, when a new folder was added, a folder called "New Folder" was also added. - In the Connect dialog, attempting to rename a session to the same name as its parent folder reported an error that the name was already in use. - After pasting a copied session into a folder in the Connect dialog, the folder was selected. - SSH2: Attempting to authenticate using GSSAPI with the 64-bit MIT Kerberos DLL failed. Changes in SecureFX 6.2 (Beta 2) -- February 17, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------- Bug fixes: - On a 64-bit machine, Help could not be launched. - In the Connect dialog, if several sessions were selected and one was de-selected, when the mouse was right-clicked to display the context menu, the session was selected. - If the login failed when attempting to connect to an FTP/SSL server, the "Login Failed" message appeared after the correct password was entered. - For synchronize operations, the "Include subdirectories" option was not being honored. - The 64-bit combined SecureCRT and SecureFX installer installed into the x86 location when run in silent mode. - In the installer, on the dialog that shows where the application is going to be installed, long install location paths were cut off. - The upgrade eligibility date displayed in the installer was not correct. Changes in SecureFX 6.2 (Beta 1) -- January 29, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------- New features: - A native 64-bit Windows version is available. - Added filter support to Quick Synchronize and Synchronize operations. The new functionality supports wildcards and allows files and folders to be included or excluded. - Multiple sessions can be selected and edited from the Connect dialog. Only the changed fields will be applied to the selected sessions, which allows specific settings to be changed for a group of sessions. - There is a new option to remember which sessions were open the last time SecureFX ran so that they can be launched the next time the application runs. - FTP, FTP/SSL: Added the ability to specify a range of ports for SecureFX to use when making an FTP or FTP/SSL data connection. - FTP/SSL: Added support for generating and using self-signed certificates, which allows mutual authentication. - SSH2: Added support for PKCS#11, allowing a Cryptographic Token Interface to be used for smart-card authentication. - SSH2: In the Activator, agent support has been enhanced by allowing keys to be explicitly added and removed. Changes: - SFXCL: If a password is specified on the command line, it is not written to the log file. - SSH2: Added support for specifying a password in the Session Options dialog. - SSH2: The default public key generation folder has been changed to "My Documents". Only new installations are affected. - SSH1/SSH2: When creating an identity file, moving the mouse is no longer required to generate random data. - FTP/SSL: Modified the error message reported when SSL-certificate negotiation fails to give more information about what the problem might be. Bug fixes: - When the screen reading software JAWS 8 was running, SecureFX could crash or report an "out of memory" error. - When using the transfer queue, if multiple files were uploaded to a server that used a SecurID token, the password had to be entered for each file. - In the Global Options dialog, changes to options were saved when the dialog was cancelled. - When the remote server was PureFTPd, the file permissions attributes value shown in the Properties dialog was "0" even though the log showed a non-zero value. - If a firewall was specified on the command line and the firewall name contained a space, it was not used. - SFXCL: Under certain circumstances, if a public key or passphrase was specified on the command line, SFXCL crashed. - SFXCL: Under certain circumstances, transferring files to MVS servers did not work even though they worked in SecureFX. - SFXCL: If a firewall was specified using the /FIREWALL parameter, it was not used.
