| - | === 2005-08-15 === | + | |
| - | * Editing files enhanced: | + | |
| - | * There can be several external editors configured. | + | |
| - | * Appropriate editor for particular file can be selected automatically by file mask (i.e. file extension, directory, etc.). | + | |
| - | * Command //File(s) > Edit (alternative)// replaced with sub menu listing all available editors. | + | |
| - | * Command //File(s) > Edit new// has now keyboard shortcut originally used by //File(s) > Edit (alternative)//. | + | |
| - | * File can be optionally opened in editor as response to double-click. | + | |

| - | * New functions for queue management: //Suspend//, //Resume//, //Suspend All// and //Resume All//. | + | |
| - | * Unix-style approach to Daylight saving time (client does adjustment) is made default. This can affect interpretation of timestamps of your files. Use function //[[task_synchronize_full|Synchronize]]// with option //[[ui_synchronize#synchronize_options|Synchronize timestamps only, not files]]// to resolve it. | + | |
| - | * Button //Calculate// on Properties dialog calculates also total number of files/directories/symlinks. The button newly also does not show up, when all selected directories are actually symlinks. | + | |
| - | * Several changes to synchronization: | + | |
| - | * Added new option //Selected files only// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. It limits the synchronisation to files selected in either panel only. | + | |
| - | * Removed option //No confirmations// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. Confirmations are now disabled always. | + | |
| - | * Directory number limit for function //Keep remote directory up to date// can be overruled. | + | |
| - | * Event log is shown for function //Keep remote directory up to date//. | + | |
| - | * When synchronizing timestamps, only same-sized files can be affected optionally. | + | |
| - | * For //Synchronize timestamps only, not files// mode the only item of transfer settings that can be set (and that is displayed) is exclusion/inclusion mask. | + | |

| - | * Bug fix: Failure when synchronization before //Keep remote directory up to date// was interrupted. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: When time-stamp synchronisation was configured as default synchronization action, it was incorrectly inherited by //Keep remote directory up to date//. | + | |
| - | * Several changes to scripting: | + | |
| - | * New scripting option ''option batch abort''. When set, WinSCP will abort the script as soon as any of the commands fail. Values ''on'' and ''off'' are still available with unchanged behaviour. | + | |
| - | * New scripting options ''include'' and ''exclude'' to set include/exclude masks. Only one of the two can be set at a time. | + | |
| - | * ''Ctrl+C'' during script file processing breaks whole script, not only current command. | + | |
| - | * During synchronisation names of directories where change happened are displayed only. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Script file loading errors were displayed in message box instead of console. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Scripting have not inherited configured synchronisation settings. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Incorrect parameter syntax in help for scripting command ''open''. Thanks to Gottfried Haider. | + | |

| - | * New custom command option //Copy results to clipboard//. | + | |
| - | * Workaround for OpenSSH limit of 256 kB for size of SFTP packet. Consequence was occasional interruption of transfer with error "Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 11." | + | |
| - | * All new sessions can be automatically opened also in PuTTY. | + | |
| - | * The Office XP-like look can be turned off from //Interface tab// of Preferences dialog. | + | |
| - | * WinSCP remembers what location profile folders were opened. | + | |
| - | * New //Type// column for remote panel (hidden by default). | + | |
| - | * Default private key can be specified using ''/privatekey'' option. | + | |
| - | * User is notified when selected private key file does not contain private key in supported format or when the private key is for different SSH version than preferred one. | + | |
| - | * New file selection command //Restore Selection// which restores file selection before last file operation. | + | |
| - | * Characters not allowed in Windows file names are now replaced by ''%XX'' (where ''XX'' is hexadecimal representation of character ASCII code), instead of underscore (''_''). | + | |
| - | * Increased chance that files information on overwrite confirmation message are properly aligned (English version only). | + | |
| - | * New optional file selection mode in Norton Commander interface, where mouse behaves as in Windows Explorer and keyboard behaves as in Norton Commander. | + | |
| - | * Files dropped on newly created desktop icons, associated with particular stored session, are uploaded. | + | |
| - | * File mask ending with slash matches directories only. This is particularly useful for include mask to match any directories using mask ''*/''. | + | |
| - | * When appending (including alternative resume), the target file is not deleted, when transfer is canceled by user. | + | |
| - | * Custom command parameters are escaped for remote commands. For ''!?prompt[\]?default!'' pattern, escaping can be avoided using optional slash (''\''). | + | |
| - | * Added hint links to several dialogs. They open popup hint describing syntax of masks and custom command patterns. | + | |
| - | * About dialog redesigned. URL links can receive focus, to allow opening the URL using keyboard. Additional URL link can be associated with translation. | + | |
| - | * Confirmation of overwritting read-only files can be suppressed the same way as overwrite confirmation, i.e. by disabling confirmation for synchronization, background transfers or in script. | + | |
| - | * When saving location profile, existing profile can be overwritten (names of existing profiles are provided for selection in drop down menu), giving limited ability to edit profiles. | + | |
| - | * When one of the directories of location profile does not exist anymore, the latter is opened, before error shows up. | + | |
| - | * Added new error messages as defined by SFTP-6. | + | |
| - | * Maximal size of read block as requested by SFTP server using ''supported2'' extension is respected. | + | |

| - | * Empty proxy password is not "saved" to reduce session data size. | + | |
| - | * When reloading directory content, file panel tries to preserve its position. | + | |
| - | * When checking //Never ask me again// checkbox, all answer buttons are disabled except for the positive one, to avoid confusion. | + | |
| - | * More informative error message when setting permissions of uploaded directory fails. | + | |
| - | * File masks can be separated also by comma (in addition to semicolon). | + | |
| - | · * Dialog for entering deselection mask has //Deselect// title now. | + | |
| - | * It is now possible to specify both password and private key on Login dialog (server may require double authentication). | + | |
| - | * Confirmation is required before stored session is deleted. | + | |
| - | * Too long authentication prompts can be revealed also using keyboard. | + | |
| - | * Queue command //Delete// renamed to //Cancel// to avoid confusion with delete file command. | + | |
| - | * Usage of ellipsis (...) and capital letters in menus revised. | + | |
| - | * Splitters have hints describing their specific functionality. | + | |
| - | * Double clicking some of the splitters hide component they resize. | + | |
| - | * Commands toolbar has initially vertical layout when undocked. | + | |
| - | * When reading of local file during upload fails, more descriptive error message is shown and //Skip// button is not offered (SCP only). | + | |
| - | * When automatic popup of background transfer prompts is disabled, task bar button at least flashes when WinSCP is on background. | + | |
| - | * Obsolete temporary directories are no longer checked, when WinSCP is run for service task (such as registration for URL handling). | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: When using MS Virtual Desktop Manager, the main window of WinSCP was enlarged, when its virtual desktop was activated. Other associated issues are pending. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Stored session name was not recognized in URL's containing path suffix. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: When remote file was opened (not edited) in an external application that opens multiple files in window (process), WinSCP incorrectly suggested to enable support for this kind of //editors//. Now it suggests to configure the application as an external editor. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Wrong default action was highlighted in remote file context menu when resolving of symbolic links is turned off or impossible. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: When directory was removed its cache was not, making it possible to enter no longer existing directory by typing its path manually. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: SCP fallback was not working in 3.7.5. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Include mask was not saved in configuration. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Command //Open in PuTTY// was not working when current session was not opened from stored session. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: When there were too frequent changes to current local directory the panel content was never refreshed. | + | |

| - | * Bug fix: Custom transfer settings dialog had incorrect help context. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Incorrect files were selected when using ''Shift-click'' after reloading directory after using ''Left'' or ''Right'' keys to select first or last file. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Incorrect help context for message informing about autoselection of transfer settings preset. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Inccorect behaviour after two consecutive clicks on //Execute// command of queue. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: It was possible to enter invalid mask to transfer setting preset autoselection rule. | + | |

| - | === 2005-05-07 === | + | |
| - | ··* Transfer settings presets: | + | |
| - | * In addition to default transfer settings, any number of presets can be configured on //Presets tab// of Preferences Dialog. | + | |

| - | * Limitations to be resolved yet: | + | |
| - | * Session drop down menu cannot be resized anymore. | + | |
| - | * All that thanks to [[&url(tb2k)|Toolbar2000]] library by Jordan Russell and [[&url(tbx)|TBX]] library by Alex A. Denisov. | + | |
| - | * Check for updates improved: | + | |
| - | * Automatic check in regular interval can be enabled. See //Updates tab// on Preferences dialog. | + | |
| - | * New toolbar //Updates// with icon indicating the new version. | + | |
| - | * In addition to information about the new version, WinSCP can show message from the server (even when new version is not available yet). | + | |
| - | * The check can pass thru HTTP proxy server. | + | |
| - | * To allow new features, WinSCP sends to the server its current version and UI language. | + | |
| - | * Several changes to custom commands: | + | |
| - | * Custom commands that does not work with files selected in file panels (no ''!'', ''!&'', ''!^!'' patterns) are now officially supported. Such commands can be executed anytime, even if no file is selected. Also they are executed only once, despite several files being selected. Options //Apply to directories// and //Execute recursivelly// cannot be configured for them. Command //Disk Space Usage// added as an example (''df''). | + | |
| - | * Possibility to run ad hoc custom command (//File(s) > Custom Commands > Enter//). | + | |
| - | * Custom command that works with local files can be run from the main menu even when local panel is active (Norton Commander interface only). | + | |
| - | * History for custom command parameters. | + | |
| - | * Output to //stderr// and exit code 1 are not considered as error for custom commands. | + | |
| - | * Example custom command //File compare// is not shown on Windows 95/98 saving necessity to tag it as //NT/2k/XP only//. | + | |

| - | * Virtually all main menu items have context-sensitive help (''F1''). | + | |
| - | * Many message boxes have context-sensitive help. | + | |
| - | * Context help points to specific tab help for Preferences dialog. | + | |
| - | * Preferred SFTP protocol version can be set. Particularly useful to workaround bugs in implementation of particular SFTP version (both in WinSCP and the server). | + | |
| - | * Functionality of SFTP server bug //Does not use UTF-8 for SFTP4 and newer// workaround extended. It is now titled //Server does not use UTF-8//. By setting it to //Off//, usage of UTF-8 can be forced even for SFTP3 and older (useful for servers using MBCS natively). Thanks to [[&url(tommy)|Tommy Wu]]. | + | |
| - | * Function //Keep remote directory up to date// can handle subdirectory addition and removal. | + | |
| - | * Function //Synchronize// can optionally synchronize timestamps of existing files only, instead of actual files (SFTP only). | + | |
| - | * New ''/command'' command-line option to pass command to scripting. | + | |
| - | * File size can be optionally used as comparison criterion for synchronization. | + | |
| - | * Files can be excluded from transfer negatively using //Include mask//. | + | |

| - | * Some Start menu icons have comment (displayed as hint). | + | |
| - | * Direction of synchronization can be saved to preferences. | + | |
| - | * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|PuTTY 0.58]]. It brings following changes: | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: Failure when connecting through SOCKS proxy. | + | |
| - | * SFTP moved before SCP in Login dialog navigation tree as well as in protocol selection box to emphasise current state of art. | + | |
| - | * SFTP server bug //Misinterprets file timestamps prior to 1970// workaround introduced in 3.7.4 can be now configured from //SFTP tab// of Login dialog. | + | |
| - | * Added workaround for some versions of F-SECURE SSH server that incorrectly use attribute ''SSH_FILEXFER_ATTR_UIDGID'' with SFTP4. | + | |
| - | * Transfer queue list distinguishes process of "transfer size calculation". | + | |
| - | * Confirmation messages unified to always show //Cancel// button. Previously some contained //Abort// instead. | + | |
| - | * Improved error reporting for //Keep remote directory up to date// function. | + | |
| - | * Function //Keep remote directory up to date// can perform full synchronization on start. By default user confirmation is required. | + | |
| - | * Confirmation of transfer resume can be suppressed the same way as overwrite confirmation, i.e. by disabling confirmation for synchronization, background transfers or in script. | + | |
| - | * Function //Open in PuTTY// is available on //Commands// toolbar. | + | |
| - | * Error messages have button //Skip All// to skip all futher errors during batch operation. | + | |
| - | * Single notation consistently used to refer to SSH protocol versions. | + | |
| - | * Proxy password is stored encrypted, while maintaining compatibility with older versions and PuTTY. | + | |
| - | * Some error messages that were previously tagged as //Confirmation// are now properly tagged as //Error//. | + | |
| - | * During upload, when overwritting remote file fails and user selects //Retry//, overwrite confirmation is not requested again. | + | |
| - | * //Editor// tab of Preferences dialog redesigned. | + | |
| - | * Fixed potential security issue in console interface tool ''WinSCP3.com'' (thanks to [[http://ao.mine.nu/|Paul Ward]]). | + | |
| - | * Fixed potential security issues when decoding SFTP packets. | + | |
| - | * Confirmations during background transfers can be supressed from //Background tab// of Preferences dialog too. | + | |
| - | * Both compare directory criterions (//Compare by time// and //Compare by size//) can be unselected making WinSCP select only files not existing in the opposite directory. | + | |
| - | * Functions //Synchronize// and //Keep remote directory up to date// do not delete files by default. This affects fresh installation only! | + | |
| - | * Server host key fingerprint verification box re-formated. It also shows key type now. | + | |
| - | * When synchronizing and comparing directories, the time difference of one second is ignored (for compatibility with FAT file systems). It is also ignored when transferring newer files only. | + | |
| - | * New scripting command ''call'' to run arbitrary remote shell command. If the current session does not support this (SFTP), separate shell session is automatically opened. Alias for the command is ''!''. | + | |
| - | * File masks can be directory specific, where meaningful (text file mask, exclusion masks). For example mask ''*/public_html/*.php'' matches only PHP files in directory ''public_html''. It does not matter what slashes are used, the mask always matches both remote and local directories. | + | |
| - | * Lines beginning with '';'' or ''#'' are ignored in script files (can be used for comments). | + | |
| - | * When connected to Vandyke VShell server for Windows, the remote directory tree shows list of drives on the server (implemented support for SFTP extension ''fs-roots@vandyke.com''). | + | |
| - | * Window title and application taskbar button can show name of current directory (default) or current full path. | + | |
| - | * //Session toolbar// is initially hidden. Shows once you open at least two sessions simultaneously. | + | |
| - | * When authentication using stored password fails while running script, WinSCP does not ask user for another password. | + | |
| - | * Back/forward menu is preserved when switching sessions. | + | |
| - | * Reverted 3.7.2 change "File panel reflects change of system icon font in run time". It caused file panel fonts to be extremelly large on some systems. | + | |
| - | * When the same file is downloaded to editor again and support for editors that open multiple files in one process is enabled, the file is downloaded to the same temporary directory as before. This allows editor to reload the updated file (if supported by the editor). | + | |
| - | * Optional remote file panel column //Link target// showing target of symbolic links. | + | |
| - | * Context menu for "name" column header of file panel has item //By extension// to sort the column by file extension. | + | |
| - | * Logging level can be configured from GUI (on //Logging tab// of Login and Preferences dialog). | + | |
