- Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Official) -- April 5, 2007
- ----------------------------------------------------
- Changes:

- the session's trace level is set to a value greater than one.
- Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 4) -- March 27, 2007
- ---------------------------------------------------
- Bug fixes:
- - VT100 line-drawing characters were not displayed correctly under
- Windows Vista or when the East Asian language pack was installed.
- - The word delimiter characters session setting did not work
- correctly for tabbed sessions.
- - If the log file name or custom log data substitution %h (2-digit
- hour) was used between 03/11/07 and 03/31/07 or 10/28/07 and
- 11/03/07, the hours could have been off by an hour.
- - SSH2: SecureCRT crashed when attempting to convert a file that was
- not a private key to OpenSSH format.
- Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 3) -- March 15, 2007
- ---------------------------------------------------
- New features:
- - SSH1/SSH2: Added support for optionally making SecureCRT the
- default URL handler for SSH1 and SSH2.
- - SSH2: Added support for exporting public keys from X.509
- certificates.
- Changes:
- - SSH1/SSH2: Added a command-line option (/Z 0) which turns off
- compression.
- - SSH2: In order to be compliant with the IETF draft
- draft-saarenmaa-ssh-x509-00.txt, the SHA1 hash algorithm is used
- by default with X.509 RSA host keys and public keys.
- - SSH2: Additional certificate information is shown in the trace
- output and the certificate error dialog when attempting to use
- an X.509 certificate for authentication.
- Bug fixes:
- - The escape sequence to turn off line wrap mode was honored even
- though the option "Enable line wrap mode switching" was off.
- Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 2) -- February 27, 2007
- ------------------------------------------------------
- Changes:
- - The default font has been changed to "Lucida Console" due to a
- Windows Vista compatibility issue. This change only affects new
- installations of SecureCRT.
- - It is now possible to change the passphrase for an OpenSSH style
- private key.
- - When the Disconnect custom string is logged, an end of line is
- appended.
- Bug fixes:
- - If the "Open in a tab" option was off in the Connect dialog and
- multiple sessions were selected after choosing the "Connect in
- Tabs" menu item, the sessions were not opened in tabs.
- - If the specified log file was a valid path, but did not have a
- filename and the "Prompt for filename" option was not set, when
- logging started, an error that the specified file could not be
- created was reported.
- - After choosing to integrate SecureCRT and SecureFX, if privileges
- were not sufficient to write to the registry, it was possible to
- repeatedly be prompted to integrate.
- - SSH1: If an SSH1 session was disconnected while a terminal window
- size change was in progress, SecureCRT could crash.
- - SSH2: Attempting to generate a DSA key that was not a multiple of
- 64 resulted in an Unknown Application Error.
- - SFTP: Under certain circumstances, ASCII files being transferred
- in an SFTP tab were corrupted.
- Changes in SecureCRT 5.5 (Beta 1) -- February 8, 2007
- -----------------------------------------------------
- New features:
- - Windows Vista support.
- - Added a script recorder, which generates VB scripts. When
- "Start Recording Script" is selected from the Script menu, all
- keystrokes in the current session are recorded until "Stop
- Recording Script" is selected.
- - A set of sessions can be launched automatically on startup by
- specifying folders or multiple sessions as auto sessions.
- - Added the ability to insert custom data to log files. Custom
- data can be inserted when a session connects, disconnects, or
- on each line. Substitution parameters for session, date, and
- time information are supported. Additionally, there is an
- option to log only custom data.
- - When ANSI color is being used, it is now possible to use a color
- scheme, which allows the background to be something other than
- black and the foreground to be something other than white.
- - Added script function GetScriptTab, which returns the tab from
- which the script was started.
- - Added new custom menu item MENU_TAB_LIST1, which causes all the
- tabbed sessions to be displayed in the menu.
- - SFTP: Added "ascii" and "binary" command options to the SFTP tab.
- - SSH2: Added support for generating OpenSSH format keys and for
- converting VanDyke format private keys to OpenSSH format.
- - SSH2: Added a global option to cache passwords for SSH2
- sessions.
- - SSH2: Added support for zlib@openssh.com compression. With this
- compression method, compression does not start until after
- authentication, which prevents unencrypted passwords from being
- cached by the zlib library.
- Changes:
- - By default, Internet Explorer 7 disables Telnet through a
- registry setting. Added support for overriding this setting
- so that SecureCRT can be set as the default Telnet application.
- Administrator privileges are required in order to override the
- setting. Versions of Internet Explorer prior to 7 are not
- affected by this change.
- - When multiple sessions are opened from the "Connect" dialog, if
- the "Open in a tab" setting is off, the sessions are opened in
- tabs in a new window.
- - The chat window can now be toggled when SecureCRT is maximized
- or full screen.
- - When creating a session, if the Terminal, VT100, or VT102 font
- is selected, the "Use Unicode line-drawing characters" will be
- unchecked.
- - The "Save connected folder state" option was moved from the
- "Connect" dialog to the "General" page in the "Global Options"
- dialog.
- - Files with .VBE extension are included in the Script Files
- filter in the "Select Script to Run" dialog.
- Bug fixes:
- - Under certain circumstances, text was highlighted incorrectly
- after highlighted text had been pasted into a session.
- - Under certain circumstances, when SecureCRT got an error and
- became unresponsive, the Migration wizard ran.
- - It was not possible to cancel out of the "Global Options" dialog
- if an incorrect status indicator width or minimum tab width was
- entered.
- - When using send string functionality with a mapped key, \p
- (pause) did not work correctly.
- - If the specified log file was a valid path, but did not have a
- filename and the "Prompt for filename" option was not set, when
- logging started, an error that the specified file could not be
- created was reported.
- - If a script that connected to a session was run in a tabbed
- session that had been disconnected, the script hung.
- - The script function ConnectInTab used the default session font
- instead of the specified session's font.
- - The /SCRIPT command-line argument was not honored when /T was
- used and the session was opened in a tab other than the first
- tab.
- - SSH1: The command-line option /I pubkeyfile command-line option
- did not work with /SSH1.
- - SSH2: Under certain circumstances, using a SOCKS proxy caused
- the Secure Shell transport to hang.
