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.) TLS on Big Endian Machines: Fixed TLS connection issue with some cipher suites on Big Endian machines. There was a particular internal piece of code that did not properly account for the endianness of […]
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 therefore remain at v9.5.0.59.
OAuth2: Added the OAuth2 class. FTP2: Fixed SyncRemoteTree/SyncRemoteTree2 progress monitoring callbacks. Crypt2: Fixed the GenerateUuid to respect RFC 4122. The GenerateUuid method generates the version 4 variant, which is composed of entirely random data except for the few bits that signify version 4. Compression: Fixed the CompressFile method for large files. See Fixed CompressFile MHT: Fixed: MS-Word html files with […]

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 total size of the .a […]
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 PreferIpv6 property equal to YES/true.) […]
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 the EXE when building/linking: Hints […]
