Chilkat v10.0.1 is a patch for certain builds of Chilkat. Previous Version: Chilkat v10.0.0 Release Notes/ .NET Core Packages on NuGet: When v10.0.0 was released, Chilkat removed the substring “-9.5.0” from the DLLs/shared libs in the ChilkatNativeLib NuGet package. This caused the following error because now both native and managed DLLs were named the same (ChilkatDnCore.dll). This is now fixed […]

To ensure a basic understanding, I recommend briefly reviewing the tutorial web pages at https://chilkatsoft.com/activex_dll_registration_tutorial.asp It should take only 10 minutes, and I promise it will save you much time and frustration. ActiveX Object Creation / […]
Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed.

This allows an application to explicitly set the set of allowed connection algorithms (cipher, mac, key exchange, etc.). Note: It’s best to NOT explicitly set the algorithms.
