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. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]
REST: The FullRequestFormUrlEncoded method did not work correctly with AWS authentication. This was fixed. (Note: This fix is required for using Amazon SES to send email.)

ActiveX, .NET: Fixed problems with the LastMethodSuccess property. Version 9.5.0.60 is a patch for .NET and ActiveX only for this one issue. The Mono builds, .NET Core, and .NET UWP (Windows Runtime) did not have any problem with LastMethodSuccess, and therefore remain at v9.5.0.59. Other languages (C++, Java, Perl, Python, etc.) are also unaffected and […]
OAuth2: Added the OAuth2 class. FTP2: Fixed SyncRemoteTree/SyncRemoteTree2 progress monitoring callbacks. Crypt2: Fixed the GenerateUuid to respect RFC 4122.

There is often alarm at the size of the Chilkat static libraries (.a) for iOS. This should not be of too much concern, because after building your app in Release mode, your app’s executable will NOT grow by the size of the static library. It will only grow by a very small fraction of the […]
Chilkat classes that communicate over TCP/TLS include a property named PreferIpv6. This should be set to YES/true to tell Chilkat to use IPv6 when possible. (If the underlying DNS resolution provides both IPv4 and IPv6 choices, then Chilkat will by default choose the IPv4 address. To tell Chilkat to choose the IPv6 choice, set the […]
Chilkat continues to support (and will continue to support for many years to come) older development environments and platforms. The C++ lib for Windows CE (specifically for VS2008) is one such case. The size of the EXE in this environment can matter. Here is one customer’s helpful hints on how to reduce the size of […]
