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. […]
Added the IdleStart, IdleDone, and IdleCheck methods to the IMAP API. See the online reference documentation for details.
Added the following properties to the C/C++ CkString class to get the count of chars in particular Unicode blocks/planes: get_NumArabic get_NumAscii get_NumCentralEuro get_NumChinese get_NumCyrillic get_NumGreek get_NumHebrew get_NumJapanese get_NumKorean get_NumLatin get_NumThai
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.
Changes in HTTP: Updated the User-Agent default to that of latest Firefox (ChilkatHttpUA no longer used because browsers may respond in unexpected ways.) The Accept-Charset header is no longer added by default. (The Http.AcceptCharset property is empty by default.) The http.Accept property default is now “text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,* / *;q=0.8”
* As with any new release, some fixes occur deep within the internal Chilkat code base and are applicable to many classes/objects. These are labeled as “Internal” fixes. FTP2: Fixed XCRC problem. HTTP: Added the AwsEndpoint property. This is the regional endpoint (domain) to be used for Amazon S3 method calls. The default value is […]
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 […]
