SshTunnel – Significantly improved the background tunnel management threads. JsonArray.TypeAt – Discovered that this method erroneously always returns the value 4. This is fixed. JsonObject – Added new methods: UpdateNumber, UpdateNull Bug Fix: .NET Async Methods that pass in Byte Arrays There was a memory leak specific to async .NET methods that pass in byte arrays. See Byte Array Memory […]
When running a VBScript, on a 64-bit Windows system it is possible to run either as a 32-bit process, or a 64-bit process. If running 32-bit, then you need the 32-bit ActiveX. If running 64-bit, then you need the 64-bit ActiveX. To run a 32-bit VBScript on a 64-bit system, you do this: REM This is the 32-bit cscript. C:\windows\sysWOW64\cscript […]
Starting now, Chilkat is going to log the changes, fixes, and new features for the next release as the work is completed. Pre-release builds can be requested for most programming languages and operating systems. Many builds are quick and easy to provide: .NET, ActiveX, C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and others. Some however, are time-consuming and a request for one […]
The GitHub C# Project to Check ActiveX Registration and Which VC++ Redistributables are Installed has been updated. Note: It should contain a pre-compiled executable located in bin\x86\Release (for non .NET programmers).
Version 9.5.0.63 is a new version that almost immediately follows v9.5.0.62. It will only be released for a few programming languages (ActiveX, .NET, Delphi, and Excel). Chilkat will provide this release in other programming languages / operating system upon request. The reason for releasing is that Chilkat wishes to create Quickbooks REST API examples, and it was discovered that the […]
Added StringTable class. The StringTable class differs from the StringArray class in that it’s intended to hold a table of strings that is mostly read-only. The internal storage of all the strings is in a single contiguous block of memory for efficient (minimized) memory storage. Expanded the BinData class by adding new methods and making it available in all programming […]
Added a C# project on GitHub to demonstrate async sockets: C# Async Sockets
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.
