| - | This is list of changes for each release of WinSCP. See also [[project_history|project history]]. | + | This is a full list of changes for each release of WinSCP. See also [[project_history|Project history]] and [[incompatible_changes|Incompatible changes between versions]]. |
| - | ===== Not Released Yet ===== | + | ===== [[6.6.3]] 6.6.3 (not released yet) ((2026-06-20)) ===== |
| - | === 2007-12-06 === | + | |
| - | * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|PuTTY 0.60]]. It brings following changes: | + | |
| - | * Various cryptographic improvements in SSH-2, including SDCTR cipher modes, a workaround for a weakness in CBC cipher modes, and Diffie-Hellman group exchange with SHA-256. | + | |
| - | * Support for the Arcfour cipher in SSH-2. | + | |
| - | * When Pageant is running and an SSH key is specified in the configuration, PuTTY will now only try Pageant authentication with that key. This gets round a problem where some servers would only allow a limited number of keys to be offered before disconnecting. | + | |
| - | * Support for SSH-2 password expiry mechanisms, and various other improvements and bugfixes in authentication. | + | |
| - | * A change to the SSH-2 password camouflage mechanism in 0.58 upset some Cisco servers, so we have reverted to the old method. | + | |

| - | * More than one host key for a host may be accepted. | + | |
| - | * It is possible to cancel connection attempts of background transfer. | + | |
| - | * Proxy settings to check for updates can be automatically detected from system and IE settings. | + | |
| - | * When synchronized browsing is on and entered directory does not exist in an opposite directory, WinSCP offers to create it. | + | |
| - | * Added several switches to scripting commands to extend their capabilities with functionality available in GUI already: ''/mirror'' for ''synchronize'', ''/delete'' for ''synchronize'' and ''keepuptodate'' (obsoletes option ''synchdelete''), ''/delete'', ''/preservetime'', ''/nopreservetime'', ''/permissions'' and ''/nopermissions'' for ''get'' and ''put'', ''/timeout'' and ''/privatekey'' for ''open''. | + | |
| - | * Added switch ''/hostkey'' to command-line and ''open'' script command to automatically accept host keys with given fingerprint. | + | |
| - | * During resumable transfers, the destination file is not removed (if present) until the transfer actually finishes. | + | |
| - | * When opening secondary shell session, startup actions like clearing of aliases, unsetting national variables and looking up user groups are not performed. | + | |
| - | * For SCP protocol, listing command can be fully specified to overcome specifics of platform (this obsoletes former option //Alias LS to display group name//). | + | |
| - | * New patterns for custom commands: ''!/'' expands to current remote path, ''!@'' expands to current session hostname. | + | |
| - | * Transfer and session toolbars automatically stretches to right window edge. | + | |

| - | * //KiB// is used instead of //KB// for kilobyte. | + | |
| - | * Estimated time is shown instead of elapsed time in queue list. | + | |
| - | * //Open in PuTTY// makes PuTTY use Telnet or SSH session for FTP sessions in WinSCP. | + | |
| - | * Host key confirmation dialog has an option to copy the key into clipboard. | + | |
| - | * //Server does not use UTF-8// changed to //UTF-8 encoding for filenames// and moved to //Environment// tab, as it is used also by FTP protocol. | + | |
| - | * //Timezone offset// moved to //Environment// tab, as it is used also by FTP protocol. | + | |
| - | * ''Shift-Del'' deletes to recycle bin, if deletion to recycle bin is disabled, and vice versa. | + | |
| - | * Opening bookmarks and home directory do not trigger synchronized browsing anymore. | + | |
| - | * Drive drop down menu shows //My documents// when current local directory is below "My documents" folder. | + | |
| - | * It is possible to optionally overwrite stored password with new one, if authentication with original stored password fails. | + | |
| - | * When renaming a file within file panel, only filename (without an extension) is selected. | + | |
| - | * When saving current session with password, warning is displayed. | + | |
| - | * When saving session with password, option is given not to store the password. | + | |
| - | * //Edit link// function is available in context menu of remote symbolic links. | + | |
| - | * Size of directory change cache is limited. | + | |
