| - | 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]] 6.6 (not released yet) ((2025-03-06)) ===== |
| - | === 2008-02-18 === | + | |
| - | * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|PuTTY 0.60]]. It brings following changes: | + | |
| - | * Support for "local proxying", where a network connection is replaced by a local command. | + | |
| - | * Various cryptographic improvements in SSH-2, including SDCTR cipher modes and a workaround for a weakness in CBC cipher modes. Support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange with SHA-256 was not included due to performance problems. | + | |
| - | * Support for the Arcfour cipher in SSH-2. | + | |
| - | * When Pageant is running and an SSH key is specified in the configuration, WinSCP 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. | + | |
| - | * Random seed file is being stored to application data folder when possible. | + | |
| - | * Bug fix: SSH-1 connections tended to crash, particularly when using port forwarding. | + | |

| - | * Preference of GSS key exchange algorithms can be configured on //Key exchange// tab of login dialog. | + | |
| - | * Session option //Allow Kerberos 5 ticket forwarding in GSSAPI/SSPI// obsoleted (was probably useless anyway). | + | |
| - | * Session option //Server realm// renamed to //Service principal name//. | + | |
| - | * In file panel, file sorting by date and size is by default descending. | + | |
| - | * Speed limit can be actually set in KiB/s. | + | |

| - | * 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. | + | |

| - | * ''/delete'', ''/preservetime'' and ''/nopreservetime'' 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. | + | |
