Chilkat’s “Q”/”B” internal decoding methods did not recognize the name “Cp1252”. The usage of the name “Cp1252” is very rarely encountered in Q/B encodings for email. Usuallly the name used is “windows-1252” or the almost-equivalent “iso-8859-1”.
A minor fix to SFtp.ResumeDownloadFileByName: If the complete file already exists locally such that nothing needed to be downloaded, the method incorrectly returned a failed status. This has been fixed.

The http.Accept property default is now “text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,* / *;q=0.8”

HTTP: Added the AwsEndpoint property. This is the regional endpoint (domain) to be used for Amazon S3 method calls. The default value is “s3.amazonaws.com”. This can be set […]
Chilkat does not use OpenSSL and is not affected by the Heartbleed bug.
Chilkat MHT methods that returned either an email object or a MIME object were removed in the v9.5.0 release. The reason for this was to decouple the internal dependencies between these objects. In some environments, such as for iOS, the size of the resultant executable can be important, and the internal linking between these objects increases the size. The decision […]
