release:
----------------------- Build 9 Start
-----------------------------
Release Date: 06/28/2010
Revision #: 827
Enhancements:
- Improved Enterprise Push options, including pull from remote server, and multi select of servers for pushing
- New Administrative group added at installation to increase security on configuration settings. Only group members
allowed to alter server settings
- Added option to limit server operation log file size.

- fixed environment variable overwrite
- fixed group access verification requiring computer name and not domain name
Release Date: 12/02/09
Revision #: 507
Enhancements:
- IPv6 is now supported in all parts of the product (telnetd, telnetc, gui, management programs)
- "Compatible with Windows 7" logo status achieved.
- Returned call to TerminateJobObject to our TerminateCommandShell so that MonitorChildProcesses is checked, graceful termination is available, and Recording of terminated events occurs.
- Return call to NetworkCleanup and changed OS version check to run on anything since Win2000 instead of Win2000 only
- Returned code to clean up mapped drives
- Modified logging for server process to create unique file name based off PID and time and pass as argument to CmdServer
Fixes:
- Running it in Win 2000 server does not need turning on "Replace a Process Level Token" user rights change
- default value for ThreadDriveMap changed to off, so that drives can be available for non-interactive sessions
- Default value for CustomAppSupport now set to yes.
- Fix for garbarge characters showing up on screen in Advanced Console
- Initial screen sent when viewing a session
- PragmaMgrC.exe invokes registry editor correctly (regedtc.exe in place of re.exe)
Release Date: 07/15/09
Revision # 332
Enhancements:
- New Pragma Gen2 architecture for higher speed, reliability and enterprise
deployment readiness.
- SSL support added to Telnet server. Pragma uses Microsoft Crypto (FIPS and US Govt certified) to
build our SSL unlike the competitors who use open source openssl
- Advance console and Shell support greatly improved by reducing APIs needed to be redirected
- Reconnection of dropped sessions is now made more robust with Gen 2 architecture. Useful for Handhelds.
- Handheld configuration settings consolidated in a separate page on Local Server Configuration
program for ease of setting up Handheld connectivity options
- Server to Client heartbeat setting moved to user level configuration to allow per user customization if needed.
- Server has added smart logic to distingush between explicit disconnect issued by user versus disconnect
due to network connection drop. The former will not cause "Reconnect" mode to be entered but the latter will.
Handhelds reconnection support needs this smart disconnection difference detection for real life use
- Improved Group Membership algorithm for group based access restriction control
- Customer Application has clean documented way to send custom code for beep or special functions.
Pragma telnetd and sshd can work with the same custom code written by customers
- User drive letter mapping improvements to get logon prompts quickly by lauching an extra
thread that maps user drives in the background; this thread exits when done. ThreadDriveMap
can be set to "no" to avoid this asynchronous drive mapping for scripts who may need drive letters
at the launch
- Windows PowerShell is now fully supported and can be set as the default shell
- Supports new Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7
- All languages supported by Windows are now supported by sshd server and clients.
UTF-8 (65001) is a good page to choose. Users can choose any CodePage and Fonts that support their national language.
Fixes:
- Group access not detected correctly
- Client disconnects at any time will not tie up telnet server
- Fix for orphan sessions not cleaning up requiring reboot of server
- If "PATH" in user level was set, it would override "PATH" in system level. Now User level PATH is appended after system's PATH.
Clients/Tools:
- telnetc supports TelnetSSL protocol. telnetc /s option is used to invoke SSL.
FortressCL
- control-c and control-break is now passed to server enabling application termination/exit.
- TelnetSSL protocol is now supported.
Known Issues:
- In stream mode server, history up/down arrow keys do not work to retrieve commands(also in Build1)
