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. […]
The .NET Framework version that corresponds to each Visual Studio release is as follows: VS2022 — .NET 4.8 VS2019 — .NET 4.8 VS2017 — .NET 4.6, .NET 4.7 VS2015 — .NET 4.6 VS2013 — .NET 4.5 (actually 4.5.1, but we only care about major/minor numbers) VS2012 — .NET 4.5 VS2010 — .NET 4.0 VS2008 […]
This example demonstrates the general pattern for implementing some standard event callbacks functions for the Chilkat “C” API. All Chilkat “classes” what have events will use the standard Chilkat events shown in the example below (AbortCheck, PercentDone, and ProgressInfo). This example demonstrates callbacks for an SFTP download, but the same technique applies to any other […]
Ruby: This version is only for the Ruby builds. Specifically, the Windows Ruby builds were invalid because of a build issue.
Stream: Added a Stream class to be utilized more heavily in the future. StreamConnector: Added the StreamConnector class for .NET to allow for System.IO.Stream’s to be used with Chilkat.Stream. See http://www.example-code.com/csharp/stream_connector_cs.asp Crypt2: Added the EncryptStream and DecryptStream methods. Compression: Added the CompressStream and DecompressStream methods. JSON: Added the JsonObject and JsonArray classes. Zip: Memory leak […]
This example demonstrates how to open a remote file on an SSH/SFTP server, write to the file, and then close it. This is analogous to opening a local file, writing to it, and closing it. The SFTP protocol (i.e. Secure File Transfer over SSH), follows the same concepts as typical file I/O programming — i.e. […]
Crypt2: Added the chacha20 and Poly1305 Message Authentication Code. Crypt2: Added AES GCM encryption. Zip: Fixed a problem with OpenZipAsync where the 1st call would succeed, but subsequent calls would fail. Email: Email.SaveXml did not save BCC recipients. Crypt2 (blowfish): When Chilkat originally implemented blowfish (more than 10 years ago), there was a problem having […]
The Chilkat .NET assembly is a mixed-mode assembly, meaning that it exposes a managed API, but the inner core is native. Therefore, as for any DLL, a 32-bit process must load a 32-bit DLL, and a 64-bit process must load a 64-bit DLL. On a 32-bit system, there is never any choice and therefore this […]
The ability to multi-hop SSH tunnels is available for testing in the Chilkat v9.5.0.55 pre-release. The typical schemes for multiple hop SSH look like this: (for running a remote shell or commands on SSH_server_B) application => SSH_server_A => SSH_server_B (for connecting to a remote host:port, via Socket with TCP or TLS) application(TCP_or_TLS) => SSH_server_A => […]
Email: Fixed: Setting the Email.From property *after* setting the Email.BounceAddress property would have the side-effect of overwriting the BounceAddress property. SFTP: Fixed rarely encountered flow problems with a particular SSH server. Zip: Fixed: Error in rewriting a ZIP64 zip (larger then 4GB or having more than 65536 files). There was an error when a large […]
