Changes in SecureCRT 6.6.1 (Official) -- November 4, 2010
---------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
- MENU_RECEIVE_BINARY was removed from the Map Selected Key dialog's
Menu Function list because it is not currently supported.
- Mac: Font smoothing is now on by default in new installations.
- Mac: When a button is deleted from a button bar, a confirmation
prompt is now displayed.
Bug fixes:
- Toggling the chat window while a connection was being made could
cause SecureCRT to crash.
- SecureCRT could crash after running for approximately 5000 hours
or in less time if a large number of X/Y/Zmodem transfers were
performed.
- If a session specified a line send delay and character send delay,
the line send delay was also used as the character send delay.
- Mac: When a button or key was mapped to send a string that
contained a pause (\p), SecureCRT crashed.
- Mac: Pasting text into a local shell session could cause that
session to stop responding.
- Mac: The desktop shortcut created by selecting "Make Alias" in the
Connect dialog was not usable.
- Mac: If the milliseconds parameter (%t) was specified in the log
file or custom log data, the milliseconds were always "000".
- Mac: In the Transfer menu, when the "Receive ASCII" menu item was
selected, it was not updated with a check mark to indicate that it
was receiving ASCII data.
- Windows: In order to display a single ampersand character (&) in
the button bar, it was necessary to use four ampersand characters.
This was inconsistent with versions prior to 6.5, which only
required two ampersand characters.
Changes in SecureCRT 6.6 (Official) -- October 21, 2010
-------------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes:
- If two different sessions were open and they used different
button bars and then the chat window was opened in one of the
sessions, its button bar was changed to the other session's button
bar.

be just below the Apple menu bar, when SecureCRT restarted, its
position changed.
Changes in SecureCRT 6.6 (Beta 6) -- October 14, 2010

the Key Generation Wizard was launched.
- SSH1/SSH2: SecureCRT could crash when attempting to access the
Agent keys and the connection was dropped.
- Mac: When "~" was specified as the leading character of the
configuration folder path, it was always treated literally, even
when it should have been treated as the user's home directory.
- Mac: If there were multiple SecureCRT windows and the global
options "Show cursor position" or "Show window size" were
modified, the changes were not propogated to the other windows.
- Mac: In the Map Button and Map Select Key dialogs, once the
Function menu had a scroll bar, it always had a scrollbar, even
when unnecessary.

"Keymap Editor".
Bug fixes:

button was pressed while the folder name was still in edit mode,
SecureCRT crashed.
- In the Connect dialog, if an attempt was made to paste a session
that had been previously deleted, SecureCRT crashed.
- In a script, calling crt.Sleep after crt.Screen.Synchronous and
crt.Screen.Send caused high CPU usage.
- When SecureFX was also installed, if the Global Options dialog
was closed when the Terminal/Advanced category was active and the

Transfer/Options/Advanced.
