| + | === 2005-12-20 === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Synchronization enhanced: | ||
| + | * When option //Preview changes// is turned on, checklist of synchronization actions is displayed, giving user option to review and confirm them all at once. | ||
| + | * Option //Preview changes// works for timestamp synchronization too. | ||
| + | * When list of directories watched by function //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date// is changed, new count is shown on log view. | ||
| + | * Synchronization delay for function //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date// is configurable (only directly in configuration files). | ||
| + | * Bug fix: When list of directories watched by function //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date// was changed, some of the subdirectories stopped being watched. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Option //Same size only// for timestamp synchronization was not working. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Newly added subdirectories were not watched for changes, when keeping remote directory up to date from script. | ||
| + | * The connection can be automatically re-established when lost during file transfer (SFTP-only). | ||
| + | * When the main session is reconnected the background transfer queue is now preserved. | ||
| + | * The Server/Protocol Information dialog remade. It now also shows space available for current directory. | ||
| + | * Color can be associated with session. It is used as background color for file panels. | ||
| + | * Authentication window introduced. It combines progress display with authentication prompts. | ||
| + | * Initial permissions can be set when creating new remote directory. | ||
| + | * File panel can be sorted by extension by clicking on dedicated part of //Name/Ext// column title. | ||
| + | * Permission errors when setting attributes (permissions and timestamp) of remote file can be suppressed using new transfer option //Ignore permissions errors// (SFTP-only). | ||
| + | * Commands //Edit New File// and //Create Directory// moved to //New > File// and //New > Directory//. Command //Add/Edit Link// split into //Edit Link// and //New > Link//. Submenu //New// is also accessible from panel's context menu. | ||
| + | * New panel option for Norton Commander-like interface: //Full row select// (turned on by default). Can be turned off to make panel's context menu more accessible. | ||
| + | * New toolbar with custom commands. | ||
| + | * New toolbar for Norton Commander-like interface with buttons //Upload// and //Download//, useful when you want to transfer file without having the source panel active. | ||
| + | * New command (switch) for queue //Disconnect Once Empty// closes the session, if it's idle, when the last scheduled background transfer is finished. | ||
| + | * System administrators can enforce display of authentication banners. | ||
| + | * System administrators can restrict connection to servers without having their host keys accepted in advance. | ||
| + | * Context menu of console output display includes command to resize the console window to fit the command output. | ||
| + | * If the SFTP server does not provide file permissions/owner/group in directory listing, WinSCP requests them explicitly before showing Properties dialog. | ||
| + | * Pressing button //OK// on fatal error message box for the initial session re-opens the Login dialog. | ||
| + | * Only the last ''@'' in connection string is considered as username/hostname separator, making it possible to easier type username and/or password containing ''@'' from command-line. | ||
| + | * "Edit" commands now open all selected files, not only focused one, if editing of multiple files is allowed. | ||
| + | * Edited remote file can be uploaded, even if the session was reconnected meanwhile. | ||
| + | * Transfer setting dialog has option //Do not show this dialog box again//, when transfer is invoked using drag&drop to disable future drag&drop transfer confirmation. | ||
| + | * Optional "Office 2003" theme and few minor changes to toolbars. | ||
| + | * Size of the console window is preserved. | ||
| + | * When changing file properties, ''chgrp'' and ''chown'' are called before ''chmod'', because they change file permissions (SCP-only). | ||
| + | * If the session is closed due to option //Disconnect when operation finishes//, associated background transfers are terminated immediately, not only after the user acknowledges the closure. | ||
| + | * It is now possible to edit two files with the same path/name located on different servers. | ||
| + | * Logging to file can be enabled using new ''/log'' command-line option. | ||
| + | * Log file name can contain following patterns: ''&Y'' (year), ''&M'' (month), ''&D'' (day), ''&T'' (time), ''&H'' (hostname), ''&S'' (session name). | ||
| + | * Improved cleaning of directory change cache on symbolic link deletion. | ||
| + | * SFTP extension "versions", specifying list of supported protocol versions, is decoded and logged. | ||
| + | * SFTP extension "supported" is ignored, when extension "supported2" is also sent by the server. | ||
| + | * Custom transfer settings dialog disables settings unusable in current context (synchronization mode, server capabilities, etc.). | ||
| + | * Transfer setting preset info tip does not show settings unusable in current context (server capabilities, etc.). | ||
| + | * Setup does not overwrite update period, if updates were already enabled. | ||
| + | * Transfer setting options "Permissions" and "Preserve read-only" are disabled when the server does not support permissions. | ||
| + | * On Windows XP, native column sorting icons are used. | ||
| + | * Licence of PuTTY updated. | ||
| + | * Command //Copy URL to Clipboard// now URL-encodes some characters (space particularly). | ||
| + | * WinSCP can handle URL with URL-encoded characters in session name. | ||
| + | * URL handler registered by WinSCP now encloses the URL into quotes to allow handling of URL's with space. | ||
| + | * WinSCP can load plain text password from configuration (new attribute ''PasswordPlain''). If possible, it automatically converts the password to encrypted form. | ||
| + | * File mask ''*.*'' is treated exceptionally, matching all files, even those without dot. | ||
| + | * Internal editor window is activated before associated message box pops up (e.g. save confirmation). | ||
| + | * //Preferences// command added to context menu of internal editor. | ||
| + | * Navigation tree on login and preferences dialogs widened to allow longer translations. | ||
| + | * When sorting files in file panel, filename is always secondary criteria. | ||
| + | * INI file name on Properties dialog changes with name of executable. | ||
| + | * Option ''/script='' without value is ignored. | ||
| + | * //Server response timeout// can be set up to 6000 seconds. | ||
| + | * Popup hints close on mouse click. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Fixed resolving symbolic links in sub-directories. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: After directory refresh, WinSCP sometime incorrectly behaved as if the user were dragging the selected file. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: SCP fallback for SSH-1 was not working. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Uploads of files into previously non-existing directory could not be resumed (SFTP-only). | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Selection could not be restored after changing file properties. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: WinSCP hung on start-up occasionally (for example when the main window was closed maximised on different screen resolution the last time). | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Failure when changing file properties on SFTP server supporting UTF-8. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Incorrectly formatted message "Unknown principal". | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Hint on status bar for transfer setting preset selector incorrectly showed preset configuration. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Custom transfer settings dialog invoked from context menu on synchronization dialog did incorrectly allowed changing all settings, even when time-stamp-only synchronization was selected. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: When the SFTP server does not support permissions, random permissions were used for the files. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Crash when re-key occurred on idle background session and the host key was not cached. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Failure when downloading file from different directory than the current one (SCP only). | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Username was stored incorrectly when exporting session to PuTTY. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: On the first start-up on fresh installation, default editor settings were not preset. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: When output of the console is was redirected to file, list of transferred files contained only the last file. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Editors list was lost when changing configuration storage. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: //Mouse only// option of //Explorer style selection// was not preserved. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: When password storing is restricted, warning that password is being stored is no longer shown. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 3.7.6 ===== | ||
| + | === 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. | ||
| + | * Change to internal editor configuration is immediately 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. | ||
| + | * Several changes to synchronization: | ||
| + | * Added new option //Selected files only// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. It limits the synchronization 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. | ||
| + | * //Keep remote directory up to date// can be interrupted by ''Esc''. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Failure when synchronization before //Keep remote directory up to date// was interrupted. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: When time-stamp synchronization 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 synchronization 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 synchronization settings. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Incorrect parameter syntax in help for scripting command ''open''. Thanks to Gottfried Haider. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Second consecutive ''put'' command from script file overwrites output of previous one. | ||
| + | * When overwriting of remote file fails, WinSCP can try to delete file and create new one (SFTP only). | ||
| + | * 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 overwriting 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. | ||
| + | * Added ''/command'' option to usage screen (''/help''). | ||
| + | * //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. | ||
| + | * 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: 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. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: Custom transfer settings dialog had some controls incorrectly disabled when invoked from Keep remote directory up to date dialog by double-clicking the transfer settings panel. | ||
| + | * 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: Incorrect 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. | ||
| + | * Bug fix: //Help// button on console window was incorrectly anchored. | ||
