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. - Mac: If the toolbar was on and the SecureCRT window was moved to be just below the Apple menu bar, when SecureCRT restarted, its position changed. Changes in SecureCRT 6.6 (Beta 6) -- October 14, 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Changes: - When SecureCRT receives an "Invalid packet header" error from the remote system, the raw encrypted and unencrypted packet headers are logged. Bug fixes: - SecureCRT could crash when key generation was cancelled and then 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. Changes in SecureCRT 6.6 (Beta 5) -- September 30, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------- Changes: - In Python scripting, case is ignored for the language specifier. - SSH2: Remote password change requests are logged in the trace output. - TAPI: Improved error message to be more informational when the COM port is already in use. - Mac: Added toolbar options to display small icons, icons only, and text only. - Mac: When there are no session tabs, the rows, columns, and cursor positions are not shown in the status bar. - Mac: The default action for the Tools button on the toolbar is "Keymap Editor". Bug fixes: - In the Connect dialog, if a new folder was created and the Delete 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 Global Options dialog was restarted, the active category was File Transfer/Options/Advanced. - SFTP: The execute escape sequence "sftp-download" failed if the filename contained any spaces. - Windows: If multiple SecureCRT windows were open and all the windows were closed by closing the Activator, SecureCRT could crash. - Windows: The session tab text was cut off when the Windows system setting to use large or extra large fonts was used. - Mac: SecureCRT crashed when attempting to display non-printable characters. - Mac: If the SecureCRT window was closed during a failed authentication attempt and an attempt to display an authentication prompt was made, SecureCRT crashed. - Mac: When quitting SecureCRT, if "No" was answered in response to the confirm disconnect prompt, SecureCRT still exited. - Mac: When multiple SecureCRT windows were open, if the mouse cursor was over the toolbar and then was hidden during typing, if focus was changed to the other window, the mouse cursor remained hidden until it was moved into the terminal window. - Mac: When the status bar was hidden, the application window could not be resized. - Mac: When there was a single tab, pressing COMMAND+W closed the tab instead of closing the application window. - Mac: If a button was configured to run a script with arguments, the arguments were not saved. - Mac: The command-line option /n (set tabname) was not being honored. - Mac: When focus was in the tab bar, scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel scrolled the terminal window in addition to scrolling the tabs. - Mac: If there were two tabbed sessions and one was moved to a new window, tab operations such as "Move Tab To New Window" and "Select Next Tab" were still available in the original window. - Mac: In the Global or Session Options dialogs, if the Terminal/Printing category contained a print margin that was not valid and then the up or down arrow was used to navigate to a different category, the highlighted category was not correct. Changes in SecureCRT 6.6 (Beta 4) -- September 16, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------- Changes: - Added documentation for Python scripting. - Windows: Added a Global.ini-file-only option to make the tab bar taller, which prevents the session name from being cut off in the tab when the Windows Appearance setting "Large Fonts" or "Extra Large Fonts" is set. - Mac: Improved the scrolling speed in local shell sessions. - Mac: Modified the toolbar to contain text and larger icons. - Mac: The following keyboard shortcuts were changed or added: - COMMAND+T opens a new tab. - COMMAND+N opens a new SecureCRT window. - SHIFT+COMMAND+W closes the window if there's more than one tab. - COMMAND+L opens a local shell session.
