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. […]

All Chilkat methods that perform network communications or long-running operations (such as Zip compression) are async methods. .NET: The .NET 4.5 assembly will be available in two forms: One build with VS2012, and one […]
Fixes a problem in the NuGet .NET distribution. Otherwise, there are no changes from version 9.5.0.44. For Windows Java, Perl, and Python downloads, the Windows-only specific functionality was missing in v9.5.0.44. This is fixed in v9.5.0.45. For the ActiveX, the internal Version resource (which shows the version when the DLL is right-clicked in Windows Explorer) […]

Fixed crash bug in MailMan relating to sending PKCS7 encrypted email. Fixed bug in the PrivateKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedFile method. Fixed a HMAC SHA384 bug. Minor MHT change: Methods that produce MHT (as opposed to EML) will omit the Date header field from the MIME that is produced.

Note: The SyncTreeUpload/Download methods already preserve the last-mod date/times regardless of the […]
Added the ability to use the RSA-SHA1 signature method for OAUTH (v1) authentication. The allowable values for the Http.OAuthSigMethod property are now “HMAC-SHA1” and “RSA-SHA1”. If RSA-SHA1 is chosen, then the newly added Http.SetOAuthRsaKey should be called to provide the RSA private key.

It was found that in some cases, OpenSSL may produce MIME with a mixture of both bare-LF line-endings and CRLF line-endings. MIME documents *should* always use CRLF line endings. The mixing of both line-ending types in a single MIME document caused the LoadMimeBytes method to skip past the end of the top-level header (terminated by […]
