Changes in SecureCRT 6.7 (Beta 4) -- May 3, 2011
------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes:
- SecureCRT could crash on exit due to the way threads were being
cleaned up.
- SecureCRT crashed if a session with the "Auto reconnect" and
"Close on disconnect" options enabled was disconnected.
- SecureCRT crashed after pressing OK on the "Session Options",
"Lock Session", or "Confirm Disconnect" dialog if the session
that launched it had been closed after the dialog was displayed.
- SecureCRT crashed after pressing OK on a script dialog if the
session that launched the script had been closed after the dialog
was displayed.

the location of the configuration folder and the menu or toolbar
was customized, the changes were not saved.
- A pop-up error message was displayed if the script method
GetOption() was called with an unknown option name.
- Serial: After connecting to a Windows COM port and then pressing
any key, the CPU was pegged.
- SSH2/SSH1: When a session established a port forward that launched
an application, if the session attempted to connect using both an
IPv4 and IPv6 address, two instances of the application were
launched.
- Windows: On Windows XP, if the display theme was set to Blue,
Black, Aqua, or Silver and more than one SecureCRT window was
connected to a session and "Send chat to all tabs" was used to
send text to one of the sessions, it caused the other window to
freeze.

mouse being controlled from another system running Synergy in
server mode, the arrow keys did not work.

Session" dialog was not remembered for subsequent searches.

---------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes:
- If the Connect bar was removed from the toolbar through
customization and then SecureCRT was restarted, attempting to
bring up the customization dialog caused SecureCRT to crash.
- If a script that called Crt.Screen.Send() was repeatedly run,
it could cause terminal corruption and possibly a crash.
- Under certain circumstances, after editing the Default session
and attempting to apply the changes to all sessions, SecureCRT
hung.
- Scripts that called Crt.Screen.Send() to send end of line
characters had different behavior than they did prior to
version 6.7.
- After pressing the ALT key and then the ENTER key, SecureCRT
attempted to connect to a host named "<ALT+R>".
- When the SecureCRT window was resized by dragging the mouse,
the rows and columns displayed in the status bar were not
updated until the mouse button was released.
- If the Connect bar was removed from the toolbar through
customization and SecureCRT was restarted, the Global Options
dialog incorrectly showed that the Connect bar was visible.

a session with a misconfigured HTTP firewall.

menu bar.

dragged to the top of the desktop, the full height option did
not work.

the SecureCRT windows, a "`" character was inserted into the
session.
- Mac: If two sessions were connected in different windows and one
of the sessions was maximized and the second session was dragged
into the first window and then sent out to a new window, the
second session was not the correct size.
- Mac/Linux: If an invalid license was on the clipboard, the
license wizard did not display the correct text.
- Linux: On 32-bit Ubuntu 10.x, it was not possible to add SSH1
keys to the agent.
