====== Recent Version History ====== ====== Recent Version History ======
-===== Not Released Yet ===== +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]].
-=== 2005-03-31 ===  +
-  * 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 MBSC natively). +
-  * 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). +
-  * File size can be optionally used as comparison criterion for synchronization. +
-  * Files can be excluded from transfer negatively using //Include mask//. +
-  * Direction of synchronisation can be saved to preferences.  +
-  * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|the latest development snapshot of PuTTY(2005-04-01, post 0.57)]]. It brings following changes: +
-    * Bug fix: Failure when connecting thru SOCKS proxy. +
-  * 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. +

-  * 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 synchronisation 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 synchronisation, background transfers or in script. +
-  * 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 //Synchronise// and //Keep remote directory up to date// do not delete files by default. This affects fresh installation only! +
-  * When synchronizing, the time difference of one second is ignored (for compatibility with FAT file systems). +
-  * Logging level can be configured from GUI (on //Logging tab// of Login and Preferences dialog). +
-  * When changing permissions of one directory, the checkboxes cannot be toggled to "undefined" state unless //Recursive// options is checked. +
-  * Progress dialog shows //Time left// instead of previous //Time estimated//. +
-  * Function //Check for updates// can display additional message from the server and sends current version number. +
-  * Checkboxes on permissions box toggle in order: unchecked, checked, grayed. +
-  * Existing target file is removed before resumable transfer to verify that user has sufficient permissions as soon as possible (SFTP-only). +
-  * When downloading to or uploading from the temporary directory (e.g. when editing files), user is not bothered with full path. +
-  * When uploading from editor using background transfer, the confirmations are always suppressed despite settings of background transfers. +
-  * Output to //stderr// and exit code 1 are not considered as error for custom commands. +
-  * Bug fix: Random seed file was not saved at all in most cases. +

-  * Bug fix: When uploading file from editor, //Exclude mask// was not ignored, what prevented editing some files. +
-  * Bug fix: Check for suspicious files containing ''/'' or ''\'' have not considered Unicode filenames (SFTP-only). +
-  * Bug fix: ''Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right'' in path input boxes was not selecting text. +
-  * Bug fix: WinSCP failed when keepalive occured during initialisation of separate shell session. +
-  * Bug fix: Timestamp was incorrectly shown in terminal window. +
-  * Bug fix: ''cd'' command in terminal window on separate shell session have not changed path in main SFTP session. +
-  * Bug fix: Function //Keep remote directory up to date// has watched even directories excluded from transfers. +
-  * Bug fix: Excluding remote files containing colon ('':'') from transfer have not worked correctly. +
-  * Bug fix: Synchronization confirmation message for download referred to "upload" instead.+

-===== 3.7.2 ===== +===== [[6.3.4]] 6.3.4 (not released yet) ((2024-04-25)) =====
-=== 2005-01-29 ===  +
-  * Scripting commands ''get'', ''put'', ''ls'', ''lls'', ''chmod'', ''mv'' and ''rm'' support wildcards. +
-  * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|the latest development snapshot of PuTTY(2005-01-28)]]. It brings following changes:  +
-    * New //Key exchange tab// on Login dialog. It allows configuration of key exchange algorithm selection policy. It also include options to configure regular key re-exchanged based on time and data transfered. +
-    * Support for IPv6 (unfix.org's IPv6 patches up to level 10). IP protocol version can be configured on //Connection tab// of Login dialog. +
-    * Removed bug //Chokes on Diffie-Hellman group exchange// from //Bugs tab//. +
-    * Fixed key exchange problems with some servers. +
-    * Software version strings for adhere to SSH standard. +
-    * Fixed some potential crashes. +
-    * Support for diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 group exchange . +
-    * Keyboard-interactive authentication is offered as long as server offers it, rather than only once, unless the server responds to our initial request with failure. +
-    * Support for ssh.com "des-cbc@ssh.com" authentication. +
-  * SFTP protocol optimalisation, especially for dealing with very small files and directories and when transfering over very fast connections. Downloads, uploads and directory listings now take up to 80%, 80% and 40% less time, respectively. Please report your personal experiences with the change, positive or negative. +
-  * Implemented support for editors that open multiple file in one process (window).  +
-    * WinSCP can delay deletion of temporary local file until its exit. This is allowed only if //Allow multiple opened files (editors)// is enabled. +
-    * The behaviour can be turned on using option //External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)// (off by default). +
-    * If the option if disabled and the editor closes too early, WinSCP suggests user to enable the option. +
-  * When switching sessions, the panel state can be optionally preserved, including selected file and sort column/order. To disable this, go to //Panels tab// of Preferences dialog. Option //Do not change local directory when switching sessions// on //Commands tab// renamed to //Do not change state of local panel when switching sessions// and now affects this feature too. +
-  * When INI file is used as configuration storage, SSH host key cache is stored into the INI file too. +
-  * Transfer queue shows transfer speed and elapsed time. +
-  * With SFTP it is now possible to enter the traverse-only (''chmod 110'') directories. +
-  * Menu //Files > File Names// includes new command //Copy URL to Clipboard//. The URL format is: ''<protocol>:%%//%%<session>/<path>/<file>''. +
-  * WinSCP now detects dropped connection immediatelly. It also responds to server keepalive requests immediately (''keepalive@openssh.com''). +
-  * It is possible to edit remote files whose filenames contain characters not allowed on Windows. +
-  * Inline rename box on remote panel now accepts characters not allowed on Windows, but allowed on other systems. +
-  * Window //server/protocol information// shows server host key fingerprint.  +
-  * New //SFTP tab// on session dialog. It contains configuration options for detection of two known bugs in SFTP servers. The first bug //Reverses order of symlink command arguments// is known on all OpenSSH servers. The second bug //Does not use UTF-8 for SFTP4 and newer// is known on Foxit WAC server.  +
-  * When overwritting local read-only file, the read-only attribute is preserved. +
-  * It is now possible to overwrite local hidden file (the attribute is preserved). +
-  * When changing local drive using drive drop down menu the current working directory on the drive is opened instead of root directory (Norton Commander interface only). +
-  * Partially transferred files (''.filepart'') have the same icon as full file would have with "partial file" overlay over it. +
-  * It is possible to change width of session drop down menu on //Session// toolbar. Just drag the empty space on the right of the drop down menu. +
-  * Queue sessions are kept alive if the main session is configured so. As side effect dropped connection is detected immediately (no error is displayed), not only after there is transfer attempt over it. It avoids failing transfer just because of dropped connection. +
-  * When secondary shell session is dropped on background, no error is displayed and the main session is no longer closed. +
-  * If the edited file is saved while the previous change is still being uploaded, the error is no longer displayed, re-upload is scheduled instead. +
-  * //Language// button on Login dialog includes //Get More// command to open translation download page. +
-  * Menu //File Names// is included in remote panel context menu too. +
-  * The command //Files > Open// opens the remote file locally always. It does not imitate double-clicking anymore (when symbolic link resolving is not enabled/supported, double-click tries to open remote file as if it were symlink to directory)+
-  * Internal editor shows name of the session in the window title. +
-  * File panel scrolls whole page when visualising batch operation progress. +
-  * File panel reflects change of system icon font in run time. +
-  * The same remote file cannot be edited twice. +
-  * If reading directory takes too long, number of files read is shown on WinSCP button on taskbar. +
-  * Several changes in installer: +
-    * When installer finds obsolete default translation in the installation directory, it displays a warning with option to delete the translation. +
-    * Bug fix: Removed //flags: unchecked// string from the //Add installation directory to search path// checkbox. +
-    * Bug fix: Last few characters of long lines were cut off. +
-  * Proxy password box is disabled for SOCK4 proxies, as SOCK4 does not support passwords. +
-  * When transferring files using scripting commands ''get'' and ''put'', without explictly specifing operation mask, the mask ''*.*'' is used, overriding default operation mask set in GUI. +
-  * Wildcards in operation mask (''*'' and ''?'') can be delimited using backslash (''\''). +
-  * It is no longer possible to check //Disconnect when operation finishes// during total transfer size calculation before file transfer. +
-  * Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from host and user names. +
-  * Bug fix: Scripting command ''ls'' has never shown year when full file timestamp was known. Now it shows full timestamp (including year and full precision time). +
-  * Bug fix: WinSCP crashed when timeout message was shown while reading directory content. +
-  * Bug fix: Scripting command ''get'' with SCP protocol printed downloaded directory twice, the second time with statistics of the last file downloaded. +
-  * Bug fix: Fixed several bugs when downloading files for which the server incorrectly reports unreasonable file sizes. +
-  * Bug fix: WinSCP refused to start, when using ''/ini'' parameter without session name parameter. +
-  * Bug fix: The download of files smaller then 4 kB could not be interrupted. +
-  * Bug fix: Attempt to open non-existing local directory (Norton Commander interface only) have not displayed any error message. The first existing parent directory (if any) was opened instead. +
-  * Bug fix: When downloading file to editor, //Exclude mask// and operation mask were not ignored, what prevented editing some files. +
-  * Bug fix: When using ''ls'' command with ''%%--full-time%%'' option (SCP protocol) the leading spaces in the filenames were omitted while reading directory. +
-  * Bug fix: //Time estimated// showed incorrect values for resumed file transfers. +
-  * Bug fix: When downloading file with SCP protocol, any leading spaces in the filename were lost. +
-  * Bug fix: Possible crashes when having more sessions opened in parallel. +
-  * Bug fix: When using INI file as configuration storage, the quotes enclosing configuration options (particularly path to Putty executable) were lost. +
-  * Bug fix: Directory was randomly selected in remote panel when switching sessions. +
-  * Bug fix: When upgrading from 3.7 and older, command //Open in PuTTY// stopped working if path to PuTTY included spaces. +
-  * Bug fix: Items in queue display menu may have been sometime disabled. +
-  * Bug fix: When uploading, the contents of selected directories was counted twice into "total size", making progress indicator inaccurate. +
-  * Bug fix: When restoring maximised main window it was sometime wider than before maximisation. +
-  * Bug fix: Fake "Ext" column could be shown by mistake.+
-===== 3.7.1 ===== +··* Translation updated: Belarusian and Danish.

-    * Several other changes.  +
-  * Added support for UTF-8 encoded filenames for SFTP protocol version 4 and newer.  +
-··* WinSCP returns exit code 1, when any command in console mode is interupted due to an error or any prompt is answered //Abort// (even automatically in batch-mode).  +
-  * Setup application can add WinSCP installation folder to search path (''%PATH%''). Thanks to Marco Barisione for his ''add_path'' tool.  +
-  * New upload option //Clear source file 'Archive' flag//.  +
-  * Command //Open in PuTTY// can optionally send password to PuTTY. When the option is on, the password must be kept in memory.  +
-  * Usage of option ''%%--full-time%%'' with LS command is configurable (SCP only).  +
-  * When the server does not support resolving symbolic links (SFTP version 2 and older), the double-click on regular file (possibly symlink) makes WinSCP try to open directory with the same name.  +
-  * Removed no longer useful button //Retry// from "timeout" message.  +
-  * Warning is shown when user stores session with filled password.  +
-  * ''%XX'' in URLs are decoded. Plus sign (''+'') is converted to space.  +

-  * Solved all compiler warnings when compiling WinSCP using makefile.  +
-  * Bug fix: When SFTP server incorrectly replied with packet ''SSH_FXP_STATUS'' with "success" status, WinSCP tried to decode the packet as if it were packet of expected type in some cases.  +
-  * Bug fix: Backspace changed to parent directory even during in-place renaming of file.  +
-  * Bug fix: Missing quote in sample custom command //File Compare//.  +
-  * Bug fix: Keyboard shortcuts for file selection (''Grey */+/-'') do not beep anymore.  +
-  * Bug fix: ''Ctrl+C'' on message dialog has omited some new lines.  +
-  * Other small changes and fixes. +
-===== 3.7 ===== +===== [[6.3.3]] 6.3.3 ((2024-04-16)) =====
-=== 2004-10-13 === +
-  * [[scripting|Scripting/automation]]+
-  * Custom commands enhanced:  +
-    * New pattern ''!&'' for remote commands to insert space separated list of selected files. Only one command per selection is executed. The pattern cannot be combined with pattern ''!''. Sample command //Tar/GZip// now uses the pattern as well as new sample command //Grep//. +
-    * New option //Show results in terminal//. Used by new sample command //Grep//.  +
-    * Custom commands can be executed locally on temporarily downloaded files.  +
-    * Local custom commands can be executed on pairs of remote (temporarily downloaded) and local files (Norton Commander interface only). New sample command //File compare// uses the option. Replace simple ''fc'' command with your favourite diff tool.  +
-  * New command-line parameters ''/synchronize'' and ''/keepuptodate''. Both have two optional arguments for local and remote directory. If parameter is preceded by stored session name, it is opened automatically. Otherwise login dialog is shown.  +
-  * For SCP protocol the directory is read with ''%%--full-time%%'' option to get second-precision timestamp (necessary for synchronisation). When the reading of the first directory fails (for whatever reason), the directory is reloded without the option and the option will no longer be used. Next version will include option to control the behaviour manually.  +
-  * "Host hasn't answered for X seconds" message disappers itself once the response finally arrives.  +
-  * WinSCP can be now compiled using Personal edition of Borland C++Builder 6.  +

-    * Support for ''Back'', ''Forward'', ''Reload'', ''Home'' and ''Favorities'' buttons on multimedia-keyboards.  +
-  * SSH core upgraded to current development snapshot of PuTTY. It brings following changes:  +
-    * Support for CHAP (digest-based) authentication when talking to SOCKS 5 proxies. Configures itself transparently (if the proxy offers CHAP it will use it, otherwise it falls back to ordinary cleartext passwords).  +
-    * Negotiated SSH-2 MAC algorithm(s) are mentioned in the Event Log.  +
-    * OSU_1.5alpha4 added to list of known servers with bug //Chokes on SSH1 ignore messages//. Now it is possible to login to the server with the respective bug-option set to default value //Auto//.  +
-    * Several other bug fixes.  +
-  * Bookmarks and location profiles changes:  +
-    * Buttons to switch between bookmark and location profile modes.  +
-    * Local path box has history drop-down.  +
-    * Reordering bug fixed.  +
-  * Support for ''dd mmm yyyy'' format of ''ls'' command output (for example Mac OS X 10.3 Panther).  +
-· * With SCP protocol ''-p'' option is used with ''cp'' command to preserve attributes when duplicating files.  +
-  * Parameter ''/help'' shows command-line option overview.  +
-  * For entering the initial remote directory the directory changes cache is not used to guarantee that the initial directory really exists on the server.  +
-  * New popup menu for blank space on file panels with some common directory commands (reload, etc.).  +
-  * Directory tree node automatically expands itself when selected.  +
-  * Direction switch on synchronisation dialog separated from other options to emphasise that its state is not stored, when //Use same settings next time// is checked.  +
-  * Button //Cancel// on //Cleanup application data// dialog renamed to //Close//, so, when invoked during uninstallation, it does not make impression that it cancels the whole process.  +
-  * Fixed bug in SCP protocol "dummy command" keepaliave mode.  +
-  * Bug fix: If the option //Preview changes// was stored in preferences for //Synchronize// command, it affected incorrectly the //Keep up to date// command too.  +
-  * Bug fix: When uploading using drag&drop, confirmation was required even when it was turned of.  +
-  * Bug fix: For SFTP protocol, directory content cannot be read, if the server provides extended file attributes (e.g. IBM zOS).  +
-  * Bug fix: Backslash in username caused bookmarks not to load.  +
-  * Bug fix: Refresh command on disconnected session aborted the application.  +
-  * Bug fix: On Windows XP the keyboard accelerators as well as focus rectangles and similar were not shown sometime. On the other hand, the system-wide option //Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key// is now ignored.  +
-  * Bug fix: For SCP protocol, after cached directory change to no-longer existing directory, the file panel preserved its previous contents.  +
-  * Bug fix: Initial state for //Use the same settings next time// check on Synchronize dialog was undefined.  +
-  * Bug fix: When creation of local directory failed, no error message was displayed.  +
-  * Bug fix: When download using drag&drop in //Temporary directory// mode finished while the computer desktop was locked, the download failed, and it was no longer possible to use drag&drop. +
