The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

S/MIME Internal Implementation

• (#0006784) Signing certificate wasn’t saved as default while signing (using internal S/MIME)
• (#0004656) When signing a message with S/MIME internal implementation, and the “OK” button was inactive because the user had the only one self-signed certificate, after clicking “View” and adding this certificate to the “Trusted Root CA ” address book, the “OK” button was still inactive. The user had to click “Cancel” and then try to sign the message again.
• When using S/MIME internal implementation and a user removes a self-signed certificate with private key from account, The Bat! also deletes this certificate from Trusted Root CA address book. Secure Connections
• Better logging for certificate chains in TLS connections
• During the TLS handshake, The Bat! first looks for certificates in the address book, and then, if a required certificate was not found there, in the list of certificates transmitted from the server to the client during the TLS handshake. It allows the user to add proper certificates to the address book to override the troublesome certificates that might have been transmitted by the server.
