| * 5.8.3: Fallback between [[ui_login_ssh#protocol_options|SSH versions]] is not supported anymore. This should not have any impact, as SSH-1 is not used anymore. | * 5.8.3: Fallback between [[ui_login_ssh#protocol_options|SSH versions]] is not supported anymore.

| - | * 5.8: Using UTF-8 for strings (such as password) with SSH protocol. If your %%SSH%% password contains non-%%ASCII%% characters, and you were able to connect with previous versions of WinSCP, it means that your server does not comply with SSH specification (as older versions of WinSCP did not). You will not be able to login with the new version of WinSCP. Change your password to ASCII characters only as a workaround.

| + | * 5.6.4: Considering directories to have zero size, when matching [[file_mask#size_time|file masks]] or sorting by size, even when the server reports size for the directory, to achieve consistent behavior. | ||
| + | * 5.2.5: Using UTF-8 for strings (such as file names) with SFTP protocol by default even for version 3 and lower. If your server does not use %%UTF-8%%, you can revert to the previous behavior by setting the //[[ui_login_environment#utf|UTF-8 encoding for filenames]]// to //Off//. [[bug>1072]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.7: Blowfish is preferred [[ui_login_ssh|SSH encryption cipher]]. [[bug>1]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: File mask that does not end with slash matches only files, not directories anymore. | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Include directory masks are recursive. | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Include file mask that does not contain any directory mask matches any directory. | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Special characters '';,|<>'' in file masks can be used as literals by doubling them. | ||
| + | * 5.0.2: Binary [[transfer_mode|transfer mode]] is default. [[bug>670]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.2: With FTP protocol, [[ftp_modes|passive mode]] is used by default. [[bug>165]] | ||

| + | * 5.2: Session from command-line and/or from jump list is opened by default using existing WinSCP instance. To revert to the previous behavior, use the //[[ui_pref_window|Open new externally initiated sessions in existing window]]//. [[bug>769]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: //Include/Exclude mask// in transfer settings replaced with //File mask//, what is equivalent of //Include mask// (as supported already previously, it can contain exclude mask after ''|''). | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Session option //Remember last used directory// is enabled by default. | ||
| + | * 5.0.3: Synchronized browsing state is stored with stored session, not in preferences. [[bug>10]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.3: In mouse-only [[ui_pref_commander|Explorer-style selection mode]], single-file implicit mouse-selection is not preserved, when focus/selection is subsequently changed using keyboard. | ||

| - | * 5.10: When executing script file or script commands provided on command-line, default reconnect time is set to 120 seconds, if not limited yet by configuration. Previously, WinSCP tried to reconnect indefinitely by default. To force back the previous behavior, in scripting use ''option reconnecttime 0'', in .NET assembly use ''Session.ReconnectTime = TimeSpan.MaxValue''. | + | * 5.10: When executing script file or script commands provided on command-line, default reconnect time is set to 120 seconds, if not limited yet by configuration.

To revert to the previous behavior, in scripting use ''option reconnecttime 0'', in .NET assembly use ''Session.ReconnectTime = TimeSpan.MaxValue''. |
| * 5.10: Change: Deprecating ''Session.DisableVersionCheck''. Always use the same version of WinSCP and WinSCP .NET assembly. | * 5.10: Change: Deprecating ''Session.DisableVersionCheck''. Always use the same version of WinSCP and WinSCP .NET assembly. | ||
| * 5.9.1: ''[[library_session_enumerateremotefiles|Session.EnumerateRemoteFiles]]'' does not throw when reading subdirectory fails. To capture errors, use the ''[[library_session_failed|Session.Failed]]'' event. | * 5.9.1: ''[[library_session_enumerateremotefiles|Session.EnumerateRemoteFiles]]'' does not throw when reading subdirectory fails. To capture errors, use the ''[[library_session_failed|Session.Failed]]'' event. | ||

| * 5.8: Deprecating ''Session.DefaultConfiguration in'' favor of ''[[library_session_addrawconfiguration|Session.AddRawConfiguration]]''. You can [[ui_generateurl#code|generate a code template]] with the ''AddRawConfiguration'' calls. | * 5.8: Deprecating ''Session.DefaultConfiguration in'' favor of ''[[library_session_addrawconfiguration|Session.AddRawConfiguration]]''. You can [[ui_generateurl#code|generate a code template]] with the ''AddRawConfiguration'' calls. | ||
| * 5.8: ''SessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPassphrase'' renamed to ''[[library_sessionoptions#privatekeypassphrase|SessionOptions.PrivateKeyPassphrase]]''. | * 5.8: ''SessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPassphrase'' renamed to ''[[library_sessionoptions#privatekeypassphrase|SessionOptions.PrivateKeyPassphrase]]''. | ||
| + | * 5.6.5: ''[[library_session_calculatefilechecksum|Session.CalculateFileChecksum]]'' method returns a byte array instead of a string to match .NET framework cryptography functions. | ||
| + | * 5.6.3: ''[[scriptcommand_lls|lls]]'' by default only displays a notification that no matching file is found, instead of failing. | ||
| + | * 5.6.2: A .NET assembly method ''[[library_session_executecommand|Session.ExecuteCommand]]'' does not throw an exception on error. Instead a ''CommandExecutionResult'' now descends from a ''OperationResultBase''. Use the ''[[library_operationresultbase#check|OperationResultBase.Check]]'' method to reproduce the previous behavior. | ||
| + | * 5.6: When executing script file or script commands provided on command-line, default [[scriptcommand_option#batch|batch mode]] is ''abort'' and [[scriptcommand_option#confirm|confirmations]] are turned off. Use ''option batch off'' and ''option confirm on'' at the beginning of your script to revert to the previous defaults. Though the new defaults were always recommended values to be used in the scripts. | ||
| + | * 5.6: Enabling batch mode in scripting automatically limits reconnect time to 120 seconds, if it is not limited yet. To revert to the previous behavior, in scripting use ''option reconnecttime 0'', in .NET assembly use ''Session.ReconnectTime = TimeSpan.MaxValue''. [[bug>1173]] | ||
| + | * 5.6: When host key does not match fingerprint specified on command line or in script, user is not prompted to verify the host key and connection is abandoned with meaningful error message. [[bug>1186]] | ||
| + | * 5.2.5: Symbol '';'' has special meaning in [[session_url|session URL]] and has to be [[session_url#special|URL-encoded]] to ''%3B'', when used as a literal. | ||
| + | * 5.2.5: UTF-8 encoded characters in [[session_url|session URL]] are supported. If you were using non-ASCII URL-encoded characters in the session URL, you need to [[session_url#special|re-code them to UTF-8]]. [[bug>1062]] | ||
| + | * 5.2.3: In .NET assembly, ''[[library_sessionoptions|SessionOptions]]'' class properties ''SslHostCertificateFingerprint'' and ''GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySslHostCertificate'' renamed to ''[[library_sessionoptions#tlshostcertificatefingerprint|TlsHostCertificateFingerprint]]'' and ''[[library_sessionoptions#giveupsecurityandacceptanytlshostcertificate|GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnyTlsHostCertificate]]'', respectively. | ||
| + | * 5.0.9: In .NET assembly ''[[library_sessionoptions|SessionOptions]]'' class property ''SshHostKey'' renamed to ''[[library_sessionoptions#sshhostkeyfingerprint|SshHostKeyFingerprint]]'', ''SshPrivateKey'' to ''[[library_sessionoptions#sshprivatekeypath|SshPrivateKeyPath]]'' and ''SslCertificate'' to ''SslHostCertificateFingerprint'' (and later to ''[[library_sessionoptions#tlshostcertificatefingerprint|TlsHostCertificateFingerprint]]''). | ||
| + | * 5.0.8: Scripting command ''[[scriptcommand_rm|rm]]'' and .NET assembly ''[[library_session_removefiles|Session.RemoveFiles]]'' method can remove directories as well. [[bug>887]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Script options ''exclude'' and ''include'' deprecated in favor of ''-filemask=<mask>'' switch of ''get'', ''put'', ''synchronize'' and ''keepuptodate'' commands. | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Script option ''transfer'' deprecated in favor of ''-transfer'' switch of ''get'', ''put'', ''synchronize'' and ''keepuptodate'' commands. | ||
| + | * 5.0.6: Escaping new lines in attribute values in XML log (particularly useful for attribute ''value'' of ''output'' and ''erroroutput''). | ||
| + | * 5.0.3: All fatal errors (those that cause exit code of WinSCP to be 1) in scripting are recorded in new subtag ''failure'' of root tag ''session'' in [[logging_xml|XML log]]. This includes connection errors, replacing previous recording in ''result'' tag. | ||
| + | * 5.0.3: Value ''both'' of ''[[scriptcommand_synchronize|synchronize]]'' command switch ''criteria'' renamed to ''either'' to avoid confusion (''both'' is still recognized for backward compatibility). [[bug>195]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.3: Silently ignoring, when local file mask in ''[[scriptcommand_put|put]]'' command matches no file. To revert to the previous behavior, use the ''[[scriptcommand_option#failonnomatch|option failonnomatch on]]'' before the ''put'' command. [[bug>746]] | ||
| + | * 5.0.2: Connection error is recorded in XML log in new subtag ''result'' of root tag ''session''. [[bug>545]] | ||
