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.
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 […]
