-ssh cmd line client fixed to avoid Cisco SSH diffie-hellman bug where our nbits prefer had to be 4096 instead of 8192
Fixes:
- FortressCL chacha cipher connection works with Openssh 6.6p1 on Ubuntu 14.04; Set limits on pbit calculation for dh gex as Ubuntu 14.04 openssh
has a problem accepting too large of pbits.
- FortressCL fix so that aes ctr mode would disconnect over some network traffic like over vpn.
Fix was not etm modes needing to return remainder data rather than 0.
- FortressFX delete of directories in left panel (local) were not working.
- FortressCL fix for PIN bug. We had a condition where a stored password was causing the PIN prompt not to happen
Release Date: Dec 20 2016

Fixes:
- ssh.exe change ansi parser to handle cursor position out of bounds (MS openssh port server was sending these ).
We now limit it to screen size.
- FortressCL bug where the serial stop bits were not being set correctly.
- FortressCL fixed clipping of wrapped lines for cases where the line has been expanded after being set.
Line resizing and clipboard copying works better now.

- Expand the FortressCL Trace window to handle 1000 trace messages (up from 255)
Fixes:
- Override default handling of FortressCL trace mouse wheel and handle it ourselves since default
handling is jerky.
- telnetc scripting fixed to return control to session after processing
Release Date: Sept 13 2016
Revision #: 856
Enhancements:
- FotressCL now has a preference setting telling how to handle OCSP staples. The default is off, but the software can be configured to generate
staples for all certificates (except root) or just a staple for the end certificate. This can be useful if the client doesn't have access to the
certificate chain revocation information.
Fixes:
- Under some circumstances, FortressCL was building the certificate chain multiple times. Optimizations have been implemented so that the
chain will only be built once per key type.
- sftp.exe command line client now takes -o options and all options anywhere. No need that they be given before user@hostname
Release Date: August 10 2016
Revision #: 814
Enhancements:
- FortressCL serial COM port support added. PC COMx ports or USB ports can now be connected to Cisco devices
console serial port (9600, 8, 1, XON/XOFF typical setups) with a cable and then logged in from FortressCL with
serial transport.
- FortressCL PFX certificate format support added
- Smart card insert and PIN prompts are done with character mode dialogs in console clients
and GUI dialogs for GUI programs for maximum flexibility in scripting/automation
- "-oSCPinPrompt" added to cmd line ssh/sftp/scp clients for scripting/automation with smart cards
- SOCKS5 and SOCKS4 support added to ssh clients with external connect.exe new binary which
supports SOCKS4/SOCKS5/HTTP/direct proxy option for maximum connectivity flexibility
- oSCPin="zzzz" added to cmd line ssh/sftp/scp clients for passing smart card pin for scripting automation.
ssh Config file also supports all these -o options so that they do not have to be provided in the cmd line.
- Upload-key.exe new command line tool added to list/add/delete a user's public key in s SSH server. This tool now works to upload
keys to Pragma and Vandyke SSH servers which support RFC 4819. We plan to keep improving this tool to work with OpenSSH and other vendor's ssh servers in future.
Fixes:
- FortressCL Always prompt for PIN option made to work better and work in all windows OS and middleware
- FortressCL can work with smart cards that do not push the certificates to Windows certificate stores
- FortressCL fix selection of reader combo box for multiple card readers
Release Date: July 15 2016
Revision #: 766
Enhancements:
- ProxyCommand is supported in ssh command line clients with -W option;
ssh, sftp and scp can
use this option to reach a remote host with a proxy host in between. A typical command example:
ssh -oProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p user@proxyhost" user@targethost
- FortressFX provides user public key uploading/deleting/listing through a new gui menu Tools->UploadKeys. It uses
publickey subsystem defined by RFC 4819 which is now supported by Vandyke and Pragma SSH servers and clients.
- Ansicolor mode is the made the default. Default history lines of terminal is made to 3000 instead of previous 150
- FortressCL - Toolbar color selection is stored for that site. Font selection made to be effective for that site.
Fixes:
- FortressFX host switching and connect would fail if the previous connect to a host had failed. Connect Failures are
shown in a popup message box.
- PragmaReg.exe returns the correct success and failure codes to check via Windows batch scripts. 0 return code means
success. 1 or higher numbers means various errors.
- FortressCL allows private keys to lack a newline at the end of the file. Logon to Amazon AWS with a pem key was
failing due to that before.
- FortressFX was not sending userid for identity file certificate logons thus current logon user id was being used.
This caused logon to Amazon AWS sftp servers to fail with a pem key as userid is typically different from windows logon userid.
- FortressCL non-ansicolor mode text selection and copying from screen works correctly
- FortressCL color button in toolbar makes the color effective right away
- FortressCL cursor color and attributes made to match with default values if not changed/set ever
Release Date: May 25 2016

- returned support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 OS
Fixes:
- FortressCL
-sshd server rekeying of SSH session keys was causing FortressCL.exe to fail.
- Choosing Public key button was causing certificate store load to be triggered and "key or Certificate from file" could not be chosen.
- If SSH1 is chosen and the server does not support it, FortressCL will disconnect instead of giving an SSH2 session
- Shortcuts at Install for FortressCL and FortressFX are done correctly for Standard users
- handles smartcard x509v3-sign-rsa login better without traps for OpenSSH and Tectia ssh servers that support this
older way of x509v3 authentication.
- handles non-smartcard certificates better if read from the store and no card in the reader
- Cmd line ssh client handles first screen correctly if console screen buffer height and console window size height is the same.

Revision #: 332
Enhancements:
- FortressCL: Added SSL support as a connection protocol. On the connection dialog box, the protocol dropdown control has an additional entry, "Telnet SSL", as a protocol option. So, FortressCL now supports telnet, telnet SSL, ssh1 and ssh2 as connection protocols.
- FortressCL: Default port for "telnet SSL" protocol is 992. The connection dialog box now reflects this change.
- FortressCL: Previously, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V used to be used as cut and paste operators, respectively. Ctrl-C, therefore, could not be used to break out of shell programs. This has been modified so that Ctrl-Insert and Ctrl-Shift-Insert are now used as cut and paste respectively. Ctrl-C can now be used to interrupt shell programs.
- FortressCL: Fixed spurious message on disconnect

the domain name specification field was grayed out for this authentication method.
