Crypt2: Added the chacha20 and Poly1305 Message Authentication Code. Crypt2: Added AES GCM encryption. Zip: Fixed a problem with OpenZipAsync where the 1st call would succeed, but subsequent calls would fail. Email: Email.SaveXml did not save BCC recipients. Crypt2 (blowfish): When Chilkat originally implemented blowfish (more than 10 years ago), there was a problem having to do with byte-ordering. The […]
Email: Fixed: Setting the Email.From property *after* setting the Email.BounceAddress property would have the side-effect of overwriting the BounceAddress property. SFTP: Fixed rarely encountered flow problems with a particular SSH server. Zip: Fixed: Error in rewriting a ZIP64 zip (larger then 4GB or having more than 65536 files). There was an error when a large zip was opened, potentially modified, […]
The 9.5.0.53 release was a partial release. Not all programming language / operating system / architectures were updated with this release. A full v9.5.0.54 release will be out shortly. TAR: WriteTar mistakenly returned true if output file could not be opened/created. XMP: Fixed: XMP issue reading some TIF images with IPTC metadata. FTP2: Fixed problem described here: FTP hangs when […]
Java (including Android): Added event callback capabilities for progress monitoring. Async: Added asynchronous functionality for all qualifying methods across all programming languages, operating systems, and architectures. Each Chilkat method that can potentially be time-consuming or involve network communications, now has a corresponding asynchronous version of the method with the name ending in “Async”. Ecc: Added a new Ecc class for […]
Scp: Added the Scp class (CkScp, Chilkat.Scp, CkoScp, etc.) for SSH Secure Copy. The Scp class is included as part of the SSH/SFTP license. Hashtable: Added the Hashtable class (CkHashtable, Chilkat.Hashtable, CkoHashtable, etc.) This is a freeware supporting/utility class. Chilkat understands that more complete Hashtable implementations may be available in specific programming language environments. However, there are some environments with […]
VC++ 2015: Chilkat C++ libs are now available for the Release Candidate (RC) of Visual Studio 2015. CkSettings/CkDateTime: CkSettings and CkDateTime were not visible in Linux, Mac OS X, and other non-Windows C++ libs (but only in the shared lib). SFTP: Fixed certain problems relating to the download of large files for some types of SSH servers. Python: Ensures that […]
Encoding: Added Base58 encoding as an additional choice for all places where an encoding (such as “base64”, “hex”, etc.) can be selected. Crypt2: Beware of using the GenEncodedSecretKey method — just after v9.5.0.49 was released, it was discovered that this property ignored the encoding (such as “base64” or “hex”) of the 2nd arg and instead followed the encoding as specified […]
SSL/TLS: Added the SslAllowedCiphers property to allow for a comma-separated list o allowed ciphers, in order of preference, to be specified. This property is added to FTP2, MailMan, Imap, Socket, and Http. See the online reference documentation and SSL/TLS ciphers and the FREAK attack for more information. SSL/TLS: Chilkat will by-default disallow all possible usage of RSA keys that are […]
FTP2: The MLSD extension was not used in some cases where the FTP server actually supported it. Certificates: When finding the issuer (internally), Chilkat will always first check for an authority key identifier, and if found will search for the cert with the matching subject key identifier. Otherwise it will locate the issuer by distinguished name. TLS: Fixed the “Unsupported […]
Window Store: The Chilkat Runtime Component for Windows Store (for both Windows and Windows Phone) is available starting with this version. 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 built with VS2013. The Chilkat […]
