-===== Not Released Yet ===== +===== [[6.4]] 6.4 (not released yet) ((2024-05-07)) =====
-=== 2005-08-01 === +
-  * 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 submenu listing all available editors. +
-    * Command //File(s) > Edit new// has now keyboard shortcut ''Shift+F4'' (Norton Commander interface only). +
-    * File can be optionally opened in editor as response to double-click. +
-    * Change to internal editor configuration is immediatelly applied to all already opened editor windows. +
-    * Search options are shared among opened internal editors. +
-    * Search dialogs have context help. +
-    * Bug fix: Application could not be closed as long as any internal editor was opened. +
-    * Bug fix: "Total replacements" message sometime incorrectly appeared, even when //Replace All// was not used. +
-    * Bug fix: Find results sometime appeared over the main window instead of over the editor window. +
-    * Bug fix: Search dialogs were sometime incorrectly placed. +
-  * Authentication banner, if any, is shown during authentication. +
-  * 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. +
-  * Removed option //No confirmations// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. Confirmations are now disabled always. +
-  * 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. +
-  * For //Synchronize timestamps only, not files// mode the only item of transfer setting that can be set (and that is displayed) is exclusion/inclusion mask. +
-  * When overwritting of remote file fails, WinSCP can try to delete file and create new one (SFTP only) +
-  * New custom command option //Copy results to clipboard//. +
-  * 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. +
-  * 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." +
-  * 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. +
-  * Directory number limit for function //Keep remote directory up to date// can be overruled. +
-  * 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. +
-  * 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 (''\''). +
-  * New scripting options ''include'' and ''exclude'' to set include/exclude masks. Only one of the two can be set at a time. +
-  * 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. +
-  * New option to lock placement of toolbars. +

-  * //Cache directory changes// checkbox is disabled when //Cache visited remote directories// is unchecked and SCP-only mode is selected. +
-  * 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. +
-  * Queue command //Delete// renamed to //Cancel// to avoid confusion with delete file command. +
-  * Usage of ellipsis (...) and capital leters in menus revised. +

-  * 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) +
-  * Bug fix: Scripting have not inherited configured synchronisation settings. +
-  * 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: Failure when directory was reloaded while file was being renamed. +
-  * Bug fix: Layout of some toolbars was not restored when using INI file as configuration storage. +
-  * Bug fix: Occasional failure when opening Preferences dialog. +

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]]. +

-  * New //No to all// button on confirmation message, where user can select between appending source file and alternate method for transfer resuming. It makes WinSCP resume transfer whenever it finds smaller file in target directory with the same name. +
-· * New //No to all// button on confirmation message for alternative method of transfer resume. +
-  * Bug fix: Command //File(s) > Move to// was not disabled for SFTP version 1 and older. +
