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 […]
Fixes a problem in the NuGet .NET distribution. Otherwise, there are no changes from version 9.5.0.44. For Windows Java, Perl, and Python downloads, the Windows-only specific functionality was missing in v9.5.0.44. This is fixed in v9.5.0.45. For the ActiveX, the internal Version resource (which shows the version when the DLL is right-clicked in Windows Explorer) was not updated. This is […]
New freeware class: Chilkat.Log / CkLog / CkoLog. This provides some logging capabilities similar to what is found in Chilkat’s LastErrorText property. New bundle-only commercial class: JavaKeyStore. See the (soon-to-appear) online reference and examples. See https://cknotes.com/chilkat-licensing-changes/. Existing customers that have purchased a Bundle license within the last year, or who are currently under support for a Bundle license will receive […]
Fixed crash bug in MailMan relating to sending PKCS7 encrypted email. Fixed bug in the PrivateKey.SavePkcs8EncryptedFile method. Fixed a HMAC SHA384 bug. Minor MHT change: Methods that produce MHT (as opposed to EML) will omit the Date header field from the MIME that is produced.
Fixes ActiveX problems that began in v9.5.0.40. Namely, the problem where the VB6 IDE crashes on program exit is now fixed.
This new version includes the following updates and fixes: A bug introduced in v9.5.0.40 in the Socket.AcceptNextConnection method (for SSL/TLS) has been fixed. The bug caused the server certificates to not be sent during the SSL handshake. Internal FTP workarounds to automatically compensate for NonStop Tandem FTP server oddities. Fixes relating to the use of the hz-gb-2312 charset in email […]
This new version includes the following updates/fixes: Fix relating to DSA signature verification internal to PKCS7. SFTP: The PreserveDate property now affects both uploads and downloads. Starting in v9.5.0.40, the UploadFileByName method will preserve the last-mod date/time for the file that is uploaded. Note: The SyncTreeUpload/Download methods already preserve the last-mod date/times regardless of the PreserveDate property setting. Fixed SendEmail […]
