Software update: mRemoteNG 1.74

With the mRemoteNG program you can easily manage connections to other computers via rdp, vnc, ica, ssh and rlogin. The connections are displayed in tabs and you can save the different options of the connections in an xml file and use this in different workspaces. The program started as a fork of mRemote, which was discontinued in 2009 to fix bugs and add new features. The original developer of mRemoteNG has completed the development at the beginning of this year gave upafter it was quiet for a while. There is a new team appointed led by David Sparer, that working hard is with mRemoteNG. Version 1.74 is now the result. The corresponding list of changes looks like this:

Supported Platforms/Components:
Windows 7 SP1 (with RDP Client v8: KB2592687/KB2923545) or later
.NET Framework 4 or later
XULRunner is no longer required for Gecko support (see below)

General Changes:

• Converted source from Visual Basic to C Sharp
• Lots of code refactoring/clean up/general stability changes
• MR-714: Removed Keyboard shortcut functionality
  Introduced in 1.73 beta that was never officially released. This caused stability issues. May be re-added in a future release. Removal does NOT impact the ability to send keyboard shortcuts to RDP sessions (when redirect key combinations is set to “yes”)
• MR-559: Removed RDP Sessions panel functionality. This required a library for which no trusted origin/source could be located
• Removed a bunch of old code/libraries and replaced them accordingly

Security Updates:

• MR-775, MR-745: Updated PuTTY to 0.67

Features/Enhancements:

• Updated to latest DockPanelSuite and enabled a slick new theme!
• MR-145: Installer is now MSI based
• MR-255: Updated RDP Client to version 8
• MR-389: Updates to IE rendering engine
  Support for latest version of IE (9-11), Dropped support for IE 7 & IE 8
• MR-850: Replaced XULRunner with GeckoFx
  No need to manually configure to have the Gecko rendering engine available now. Install image is now significantly larger due to the inclusion of the Gecko Engine
• MR-821: Initial Japanese translation included
• Port Scan is now Asynchronous (and is significantly faster)

Fixes:

• MR-884: Slow startup in some scenarios checking authenticode certificate
• MR-872: Crash in External Tools when arguments aren’t quoted
• MR-854: crashes when right clicking on connection tab
• MR-852: Option “Allow only a single instance of the application” non-functional
• MR-836: Trying to delete a folder of connections only deletes 2 connections at a time
• MR-824, MR-706: Suppress Script Errors when using the IE rendering engine
• MR-822: Improve RDP error code messages
• MR-640: Fixed Inheritance not working
• MR-639: RDP: Connect to console session
• MR-610, MR-582, MR-451: RDP: Protocol Error 3334 or exceptions with large number of connections open
  This problem appears largely resolved by most reports and testing. Further workarounds/problem avoidance: Disable Bitmap Caching on all RDP session configuration MR-429: Display issue on the Options -> Advanced panel
• MR-385: Inheritance settings lost when moving item to the root of the tree
