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 StringTable class. The StringTable class differs from the StringArray class in that it’s intended to hold a table of strings that is mostly read-only. The internal storage of all the strings is in a single contiguous block of memory for efficient (minimized) memory storage. Expanded the BinData class by adding new methods and making […]
REST: The FullRequestFormUrlEncoded method did not work correctly with AWS authentication. This was fixed. (Note: This fix is required for using Amazon SES to send email.) TLS on Big Endian Machines: Fixed TLS connection issue with some cipher suites on Big Endian machines. There was a particular internal piece of code that did not properly […]
ActiveX, .NET: Fixed problems with the LastMethodSuccess property. Version 9.5.0.60 is a patch for .NET and ActiveX only for this one issue. The Mono builds, .NET Core, and .NET UWP (Windows Runtime) did not have any problem with LastMethodSuccess, and therefore remain at v9.5.0.59. Other languages (C++, Java, Perl, Python, etc.) are also unaffected and […]
OAuth2: Added the OAuth2 class. FTP2: Fixed SyncRemoteTree/SyncRemoteTree2 progress monitoring callbacks. Crypt2: Fixed the GenerateUuid to respect RFC 4122.

Ruby: This version is only for the Ruby builds. Specifically, the Windows Ruby builds were invalid because of a build issue.
Stream: Added a Stream class to be utilized more heavily in the future. StreamConnector: Added the StreamConnector class for .NET to allow for System.IO.Stream’s to be used with Chilkat.Stream. See http://www.example-code.com/csharp/stream_connector_cs.asp Crypt2: Added the EncryptStream and DecryptStream methods. Compression: Added the CompressStream and DecompressStream methods. JSON: Added the JsonObject and JsonArray classes. Zip: Memory leak […]

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 […]
