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. […]
A problem in handling XHTML responses w.r.t. recognizing charset encodings was fixed. Also, the handling of image URLs that include params (such as http://c.s-microsoft.com/de-de/CMSImages/CloseButtonWhite.png?version=a83f6b77-9d8f-c696-27dd-cfd779da1a95 ) was fixed.
The PercentDone callback always began at 0 when resuming a download. If a partial file exists locally, and the download is resumed, the percent done now begins at the place based on the size of the partial file. (If 50% of the file already exists, then the percent done begins at 50%) Also, the Socket.BuildHttpGetRequest […]
The internal Chilkat SSL/TLS implementation now supports the TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA and TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA cipher suites. These allow for perfect forward secrecy. Note: This is implemented on the client-side for all protocols using SSL/TLS. The SSL/TLS client provides the server with a list of algorithms it supports, and it is the server that decides which is to be […]
A security-related bug was fixed in FTP2. If the KeepSessionLog property was turned on, the password used for authentication was logged to the in-memory SessionLog property. The fix is to instead log “****” in place of the password.
For HTTP requests that have KeepAlive indicated in the response header, the internal connection is not closed so that a subsequent request may continue using the existing connection. However, when the client application aborts in the middle of receiving the response, the connection must be closed to avoid being left in an invalid state (where […]
Added the Cert.ExportToPfxData method to export to an in-memory image of a PFX file.
Added the mailman.P7mEncryptAttachFilname, P7mSigAttachFilename, P7sSigAttachFilename properties. These properties may be used to set the attachment filenames for signed/encrypted email to something different than the default “smime.p7m” or “smime.p7s”.
Fixed the AbortCheck and PercentDone events for the Single-DLL ActiveX. These events did not fire. This was a problem that only affected the Single-DLL ActiveX.
Added the Email.SetEdifactBody method to make it easier to create EDIFACT emails.
Added support for the hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-ripemd160 algorithms to SSH/SFTP internal transport.
