Changes in SecureCRT 6.2.3 (Official) -- September 10, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
- SecureCRT uses the Microsoft developer libraries that contain the
07/28/2009 ATL update.
- The global value for the maximum number of columns can be set to
a value as small as 132.
Bug fixes:
- SecureCRT 6.2.2 could get into a state where it attempted to
connect to a session that did not exist, which caused a crash.
- If a custom .mnu file that contained a syntax error was specified,
it could cause multiple SecureCRT.exe processes to be started and
then SecureCRT crashed.
- If text was being output and the session was scrolled up using
the mouse wheel, text selected using the mouse was not selected
correctly.
- In version 6.2.2, if a session that used ANSI colors and the color
scheme was modified so that it no longer used the color scheme,
the session display was not refreshed.
- TAPI: Phone numbers could not be saved for TAPI sessions.
Changes in SecureCRT 6.2.2 (Official) -- July 2, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------
Changes:
- Added support for administratively prohibiting checking for
updates from within SecureCRT.
Bug fixes:
- SecureCRT could crash if a session showing elapsed time was
connected and the Windows system date or time was set to a value
in the past.
- If a session that required a password was cloned, the password
had to be entered again.
- When the session option "Use Windows copy and paste hotkeys" was
set, the hotkeys for Find and Select All did not work.
- If the path in the "Select File to Send as ASCII" dialog was
changed, it was not remembered the next time that dialog was
displayed. It is now remembered until SecureCRT exits.
- The installer did not honor LICENSE_FILE or CONFIG_FOLDER_PATH
entries that were specified in an ANSWERFILE.
- Silent installs did not add the program to the Start menu or
the list of installed programs in the Windows Control Panel.
- Telnet: If a logon script that did not send an initial carriage
return was specified for a session, a carriage return (OxOD) was
sent in a separate packet during authentication, which caused
authentication to fail if the server used line mode.
- SSH2: Previously, the default GEX preferred key size was changed
from 2046 to 2048. However, the GSSAPI GEX maximum key size was
still 2046, which caused the server to report an error and
disconnect the session when GSSAPI GEX was used.

-------------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes:
- SecureCRT could not be installed on systems where InstallShield
custom actions do not work.
- If a license with a maintenance date in the format MM-DD-YY was
entered, SecureCRT crashed.
- Under Vista, the mouse wheel did not scroll if the system used
the MS Explorer Mouse driver.
- Function and arrow keys did not work correctly with servers that
expect all the characters in escape sequences to be sent in the
same packet.
- In a session with the "Retain size and font" option set, if the
window was resized so that it was smaller than the logical rows
and columns, the wrong text was highlighted during a find
operation.
- If a session was opened in a new window and the window was
closed prior to authentication completing, authentication prompts
continued to be displayed.
- In the Keymap Editor, if a key was selected and a keymap that
mapped that key was loaded, the keymap assignment display was
not updated.
- In the Connect dialog, a session that was copied could not be
pasted more than two times.
- If the Visual Studio 2008 DLLs were not in the side-by-side
cache, MFC90.DLL errors were written to the event viewer when
SecureCRT ran.
- SSH1/SSH2: If an RSA key with a passphrase was added in the
Manage Agent Keys dialog and the wrong passphrase was entered,
the incorrect error "The key packet is corrupt, damaged, or
incompatibly formatted" was reported and was still reported
after the correct passphrase was entered.
