Software Update: SecureCRT 7.2.5

VanDyke Software has released version 7.2.5 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 the price of a license starts at one hundred dollars. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes:

• Linux: Added support for opening in a new SecureCRT window to the Ubuntu Unity QuickList icon.

Bug fixes:

• SecureCRT could crash when TAPI sessions were closed.
• Arguments passed to logon scripts were retained and used by scripts launched from the button bar or a mapped key.
• The Connect dialog did not have a horizontal scrollbar.
• Mac/Linux: Some licenses that contained international characters were not seen as being valid.
