Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Official) -- April 5, 2007

----------------------------------------------------

Changes:

- SSH2: The SSH_IGNORE message is only shown in trace output when

the session's trace level is set to a value greater than one.

Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 4) -- March 27, 2007

---------------------------------------------------

Bug fixes:

- VT100 line-drawing characters were not displayed correctly under

Windows Vista or when the East Asian language pack was installed.
- The word delimiter characters session setting did not work
correctly for tabbed sessions.
- If the log file name or custom log data substitution %h (2-digit
hour) was used between 03/11/07 and 03/31/07 or 10/28/07 and
11/03/07, the hours could have been off by an hour.
- SSH2: SecureCRT crashed when attempting to convert a file that was
not a private key to OpenSSH format.

Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 3) -- March 15, 2007

---------------------------------------------------

New features:

- SSH1/SSH2: Added support for optionally making SecureCRT the

default URL handler for SSH1 and SSH2.
- SSH2: Added support for exporting public keys from X.509
certificates.

Changes:

- SSH1/SSH2: Added a command-line option (/Z 0) which turns off

compression.
- SSH2: In order to be compliant with the IETF draft
draft-saarenmaa-ssh-x509-00.txt, the SHA1 hash algorithm is used
by default with X.509 RSA host keys and public keys.
- SSH2: Additional certificate information is shown in the trace
output and the certificate error dialog when attempting to use
an X.509 certificate for authentication.
Bug fixes:

- The escape sequence to turn off line wrap mode was honored even
though the option "Enable line wrap mode switching" was off.

Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 2) -- February 27, 2007

------------------------------------------------------

Changes:

- The default font has been changed to "Lucida Console" due to a

Windows Vista compatibility issue. This change only affects new
installations of SecureCRT.
- It is now possible to change the passphrase for an OpenSSH style
private key.
- When the Disconnect custom string is logged, an end of line is
appended.

Bug fixes:

- If the "Open in a tab" option was off in the Connect dialog and
multiple sessions were selected after choosing the "Connect in
Tabs" menu item, the sessions were not opened in tabs.
- If the specified log file was a valid path, but did not have a
filename and the "Prompt for filename" option was not set, when
logging started, an error that the specified file could not be
created was reported.
- After choosing to integrate SecureCRT and SecureFX, if privileges
were not sufficient to write to the registry, it was possible to
repeatedly be prompted to integrate.
- SSH1: If an SSH1 session was disconnected while a terminal window
size change was in progress, SecureCRT could crash.
- SSH2: Attempting to generate a DSA key that was not a multiple of
64 resulted in an Unknown Application Error.
- SFTP: Under certain circumstances, ASCII files being transferred
in an SFTP tab were corrupted.

Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 1) -- February 8, 2007

-----------------------------------------------------

New features:

- Windows Vista support.

- Added a script recorder, which generates VB scripts. When
"Start Recording Script" is selected from the Script menu, all
keystrokes in the current session are recorded until "Stop
Recording Script" is selected.
- A set of sessions can be launched automatically on startup by
specifying folders or multiple sessions as auto sessions.
- Added the ability to insert custom data to log files. Custom
data can be inserted when a session connects, disconnects, or
on each line. Substitution parameters for session, date, and
time information are supported. Additionally, there is an
option to log only custom data.
- When ANSI color is being used, it is now possible to use a color
scheme, which allows the background to be something other than
 black and the foreground to be something other than white.
- Added script function GetScriptTab, which returns the tab from
which the script was started.
- Added new custom menu item MENU_TAB_LIST1, which causes all the
tabbed sessions to be displayed in the menu.
- SFTP: Added "ascii" and "binary" command options to the SFTP tab.
- SSH2: Added support for generating OpenSSH format keys and for
converting VanDyke format private keys to OpenSSH format.
- SSH2: Added a global option to cache passwords for SSH2
sessions.
- SSH2: Added support for zlib@openssh.com compression. With this
compression method, compression does not start until after
authentication, which prevents unencrypted passwords from being
cached by the zlib library.

Changes:

- By default, Internet Explorer 7 disables Telnet through a

registry setting. Added support for overriding this setting
so that SecureCRT can be set as the default Telnet application.
Administrator privileges are required in order to override the
setting. Versions of Internet Explorer prior to 7 are not
affected by this change.
- When multiple sessions are opened from the "Connect" dialog, if
the "Open in a tab" setting is off, the sessions are opened in
tabs in a new window.
- The chat window can now be toggled when SecureCRT is maximized
or full screen.
- When creating a session, if the Terminal, VT100, or VT102 font
is selected, the "Use Unicode line-drawing characters" will be
unchecked.
- The "Save connected folder state" option was moved from the
"Connect" dialog to the "General" page in the "Global Options"
dialog.
- Files with .VBE extension are included in the Script Files
filter in the "Select Script to Run" dialog.

Bug fixes:

- Under certain circumstances, text was highlighted incorrectly

after highlighted text had been pasted into a session.
- Under certain circumstances, when SecureCRT got an error and
became unresponsive, the Migration wizard ran.
- It was not possible to cancel out of the "Global Options" dialog
if an incorrect status indicator width or minimum tab width was
entered.
- When using send string functionality with a mapped key, \p
(pause) did not work correctly.
- If the specified log file was a valid path, but did not have a
filename and the "Prompt for filename" option was not set, when
logging started, an error that the specified file could not be
created was reported.
- If a script that connected to a session was run in a tabbed
session that had been disconnected, the script hung.
- The script function ConnectInTab used the default session font
instead of the specified session's font.
- The /SCRIPT command-line argument was not honored when /T was
used and the session was opened in a tab other than the first
tab.
- SSH1: The command-line option /I pubkeyfile command-line option
did not work with /SSH1.
- SSH2: Under certain circumstances, using a SOCKS proxy caused
the Secure Shell transport to hang.
