v9.5.0.52 Micro Update: New Features, Fixes, Changes, etc.

Java (including Android): Added event callback capabilities for progress monitoring. Async: Added asynchronous functionality for all qualifying methods across all programming languages, operating systems, and architectures. Each Chilkat method that can potentially be time-consuming or involve network communications, now has a corresponding asynchronous version of the method with the name ending in “Async”. Ecc: Added a new Ecc class for […]

Event Callbacks in Java

Event callbacks in Java (including Android) are supported starting in v9.5.0.52. To receive event callbacks, first create a Java class derived from one of the Chilkat event callback classes. The event callback classes are: CkBaseProgress, CkHttpProgress, CkZipProgress, CkFtp2Progress, CkMailManProgress, CkTarProgress, and CkSFtpProgress. All future Chilkat classes will only use CkBaseProgress. Theses event callback classes will be documented in the “Events” […]

Chilkat Charsets (Character Encodings) Supported

In many places in the Chilkat API, there are properties or method arguments for a charset (also known as character encoding).  All acceptable and supported charset names are listed here.  (The vast majority are likely almost never used.) Before we list the names and the corresponding code pages, there are a few special values. “ansi” is a string that can […]

Chilkat v9.5.0.52 – Asynchronous for all Classes in all Programming Languages

Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52, asynchronous capability is added across all classes and all programming languages. The new Task and TaskChain classes have been added. To Beta test, send email to support@chilkatsoft.com. Please specify the programming language, operating system, etc. that is needed. The online reference documentation has been updated. Examples will be forthcoming. Version 9.5.0.52 will be released later this […]

v9.5.0.51 Micro Update: New Features, Fixes, Changes, etc.

Scp: Added the Scp class (CkScp, Chilkat.Scp, CkoScp, etc.) for SSH Secure Copy.  The Scp class is included as part of the SSH/SFTP license. Hashtable: Added the Hashtable class (CkHashtable, Chilkat.Hashtable, CkoHashtable, etc.)   This is a freeware supporting/utility class.  Chilkat understands that more complete Hashtable implementations may be available in specific programming language environments.  However, there are some environments with […]

Chilkat Binary Encoding List

Throughout the Chilkat API there are method arguments and properties to indicate an encoding. These are encodings for binary data such as “hex”, “base64”, etc. Note: These are not character encodings. A character encoding, such as “utf-8” indicates the byte representation of a character. A binary encoding, such as “base64”, represents non-character binary data in printable string form. Wherever an […]

v9.5.0.50 Micro Update: New Features, Fixes, Changes, etc.

VC++ 2015: Chilkat C++ libs are now available for the Release Candidate (RC) of Visual Studio 2015. CkSettings/CkDateTime: CkSettings and CkDateTime were not visible in Linux, Mac OS X, and other non-Windows C++ libs (but only in the shared lib). SFTP: Fixed certain problems relating to the download of large files for some types of SSH servers. Python: Ensures that […]
