Changes in SecureCRT 6.7.3 (Official) -- November 8, 2011
---------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- Added support for Ubuntu Linux 11.10. 32-bit and 64-bit
installers are available.
- Added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0. 32-bit and 64-bit
installers are available.
Bug fixes:
- If the default session was edited and the changes were written to
all sessions, the logon actions were set to the default for all
SSH2 sessions regardless of whether or not the logon actions had
been changed.

while the script was running, a script cancel error was reported.

was running and "Disconnect" was selected from the menu or toolbar
and then the disconnect operation was cancelled, the script was
stopped anyway.

to 100%.
- Mac/Linux: If the Public Key Assistant was used to generate a DSA
key in OpenSSH key format and then upload the key file, the file
had 0644 permissions instead of 0600 permissions, which meant
that OpenSSH refused to use it.
- Mac/Linux: If a license field, such as Name or Company Name,
contained more than one line of text, the license was accepted,
but could not be used when SecureCRT restarted.
- Mac: On a system that previously had SecureCRT installed, after
upgrading to OS X Lion, SecureCRT could not save license
information.

Telnet application continued to be displayed when SecureCRT
restarted after answering "Yes" to the prompt.

offer was accepted, there was no button to extend the evaluation
on the "Enter License" dialog as described in the instructions
that had been e-mailed.
- Telnet/RLogin: On Windows 7, when multiple sessions were running
in different windows such that they were separate processes and
command output was streaming in them, one or more of the
connections could get reset.
- Windows: On 64-bit machines, if the menu or toolbar was customized
in SecureCRT 6.0 and then version 6.7 was run and "Yes" was
selected after the prompt "Would you like to update the toolbar
and menu bar?" was displayed, SecureCRT crashed when it was closed.
- Windows: When the SecureCRT window was restored after being
maximized or in full screen mode, it was restored to the wrong
size.

made to switch to a different button bar, SecureCRT could crash.
- When Ymodem was used to transfer multiple files, only the first
file was transferred correctly and sometimes the error "Invalid
access to memory location" occurred.

SecureCRT was dragged by the title bar so that it was maximized
