Download SecureCRT 7.0.2

VanDyke Software has released an update for version 7.0 of SecureCRT. SecureCRT is, simply put, a extensive version of Putty. Slightly less simple, it is a client for remote control, file transfers and data tunneling using ssh. Ssh is a method of establishing a secure connection between two computers, in which both the data and part of the IP traffic is encrypted. Since version 6.6.0 there is also a version of SecureCRT for OS X and since version 6.7.0 also one for Linux. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Changes:

• Mac: The look of text on Retina displays was improved.
• Linux: Character encodings that cannot be used by SecureCRT are no longer shown in Terminal/Appearance category in the Session Options dialog.

Bug fixes:

• If the protocol type was changed during authentication, SecureCRT crashed.
• If a session’s emulation was set to “Dumb”, it continued to used dumb emulation after being changed to use a different emulation.
• If a session reconnected automatically in the background when a different session’s tab had focus, the title bar was updated to display the reconnected session name.
• Windows: If a laptop was docked such that a secondary monitor was used and then SecureCRT was moved to that monitor and closed, when the laptop was disconnected from the dock and SecureCRT was restarted, it was visible in the task bar, but not on the laptop display.
• Windows: On a system that had two monitors with the primary monitor having a larger display resolution than the secondary monitor, when SecureCRT was maximized on the primary monitor and then restored, it used the resolution of the secondary monitor.
• Windows: When the sessions were tiled, if the main window was resized, some of the tiled windows did not send a screen resize to the remote system.
• Mac/Linux: SecureCRT crashed after the Report button was pressed in the crash handler dialog.
• Mac/Linux: If data was being output and the scrollbar was used to look at data in the scrollback buffer, the output was not paused.
• Mac: Passwords specified on the command line were ignored if the global option “Use Keychain” was set.
• Mac: If the global option “Show confirm disconnect dialog” was set and multiple SecureCRT windows with connected sessions were open and then one window was closed, attempting to switch between the remaining windows using COMMAND+` did not work.
• Mac: When SecureCRT was not set as the default Telnet handler and the default Telnet handler check was on, a message was displayed every time SecureCRT went into or out of “Full Screen” mode.
• Linux: Error text was not displayed correctly on Ubuntu with the Korean language pack installed and set as the primary language.
