Update: SecureCRT 6.5.4

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

A new SecureCRT maintenance update has been released, 6.5.4, only fixing a fair number of bugs.

I for one, am really happy to see the first one (see changelog below). The crash didn’t happen very often, but when it did, it was really really annoying…

SECURECRT 6.5.4 DOWNLOADS
SECURECRT 6.5.4 CHANGELOG
- When multiple instances of SecureCRT were running, attempting to display a connection closed message could cause SecureCRT to crash.
- SecureCRT could lock up when a Send ASCII command was used to send a large file (e.g., 100,000 lines).
- SecureCRT hung when attempting to open the Customize dialog if multiple instances of SecureCRT were running.
- In some cases, when characters with diacritics were pasted into a session using VT220 emulation, they were not displayed correctly.
- The way characters were clipped when they were displayed in the session affected the behavior of the JAWS screen reading software.

Update: SecureCRT 6.2.2

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

A new SecureCRT maintenance update has been released: 6.2.2.

SECURECRT 6.2.2 FINAL DOWNLOADS
SECURECRT 6.2.2 CHANGELOG
- Added support for administratively prohibiting checking for updates from within SecureCRT.
- 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.
