Download SecureCRT 7.1.1

VanDyke Software has released the first update for version 7.1 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. SecureCRT is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and a license costs $100. In version 7.1.1 the following issues have been fixed:

Bug fixes:

• SecureCRT hung if a script called Screen.CurrentColumn or Screen.CurrentRow before user authentication had completed.
• If a button was given a label that included an ampersand (&), the ampersand was not shown correctly on the button.
• If a button bar was given a name that contained an ampersand (&), the ampersand was dropped.
• Windows: SecureCRT could take a long time to start if there were a large number of autostart sessions and the tab status indicator option was set to “Background colors”.
• Windows: If a button bar other than “Default” was selected in the default session, that setting was not honored.
• Mac: SecureCRT crashed after opening over 20 connections in new windows and then selecting the Window menu.
• Mac: If a large number (eg, more than 100) of port forwards were specified for a session, SecureCRT could crash or report the error “Too many open files” when attempting to establish the port forwards.
• Mac: If SecureCRT and SecureFX were installed into a path that contained a space, when the toolbar button to launch SecureFX was pressed, nothing happened.
• Mac: If the status indicators “Color rectangles” were selected, the rectangles were not positioned correctly on the tab.
• Mac: If a tab was given a label that contained an ampersand (&), the ampersand was dropped.
• Linux: Kubuntu 13.04 crashed when running SecureCRT 7.1 due to a mismatched Qt library.
