    incorrectly formatted SSH host key.

Changes in SecureFX 7.3 (Beta 5) -- October 2, 2014
---------------------------------------------------

Changes:

  - In order to prevent potential data loss, merging the personal data

Bug fixes:

  - The previously selected session was not remembered when the session
    manager was closed and re-opened.
  - Mac: The clear button in the session filter edit box was very small
    on Retina displays.


Changes in SecureFX 7.3 (Beta 4) -- September 23, 2014
------------------------------------------------------

New features:

  - Windows: Added an "Update Now" menu item to see if a new version of
    SecureFX is available and if there is, clicking a button downloads
    and installs it.

  - Windows: Added the keyboard shortcut ALT+SHIFT+S to launch the
    Synchronize dialog.
  - Mac: Added the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+COMMAND+S to launch the
    Synchronize dialog.

Bug fixes:

    using the keyboard shortcut COMMAND+I to move focus to the session
    filter box caused SecureFX to crash.


Changes in SecureFX 7.3 (Beta 3) -- September 9, 2014
-----------------------------------------------------

New features:

  - Added a search filter to the Connect dialog, which helps find
    sessions quickly, especially when a large number of sessions have
    been saved.

Changes:

  - SFTP: The modulus for the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithms
    can be set from 1024 to 8192.

Bug fixes:

  - Saved passwords could be deleted inadvertently by pressing ENTER
    when focus was in the Password field of the Password Properties
    dialog.
  - When using the filter bar to search for sessions, the session
    tree did not return to the original state if the option "Save
    expanded folder state in connect dialog" was off.
  - If the remote connection was lost during PGP encryption of a file
    and the connection was reestablished, the transfer failed due to
    a file in use error.


Changes in SecureFX 7.3 (Beta 2) -- August 26, 2014
---------------------------------------------------

Changes:

  - In the session manager, when text is entered in the filter bar,
    the first matching session gets selected.

    pressing the ESCAPE key or the "X" button.

Bug fixes:

  - SecureFX crashed when the backspace key was used to go to the
    parent folder.
  - FTP: SecureFX incorrectly reported an error when attempting to
    connect to a session that used a USER type firewall.
  - After importing settings, the imported button bars were not
    loaded.
  - Mac: SecureFX crashed if focus was in the filter bar and
    SecureCRT was closed using CMD+Q.
  - Mac: On Mavericks (10.9), SecureFX could not open a file a second
    time using "Open With..." and TextEdit.
  - Mac: Attempting to convert a private key to OpenSSH format failed
    to export the key.
  - Mac: When sessions were tiled, pressing CMD+ENTER on a session in
    the session manager did not open the session properties dialog.
  - Linux: SecureFX crashed if the session manager was enabled and
    SecureCRT was closed using ALT+F4.
  - Mac/Linux: The Export Settings and Import Settings dialogs did not
    automatically scroll when the progress information was displayed.


Changes in SecureFX 7.3 (Beta 1) -- August 7, 2014
--------------------------------------------------

New features:

  - Added support for exporting and importing SecureFX settings to and
    from XML, which makes it easier to copy settings from one machine
    to another.
  - Mac/Linux: Added a session manager that can be used in place of
    the modal Connect dialog.  The session manager can be in a pane
    in the SecureFX window or can be an undocked modeless dialog.
  - Added a search filter to the session manager, which helps find
    sessions quickly, especially when a large number of sessions have
    been saved.
  - Added the ability to specify that PGP encryption should be used
    for file transfers, including synchronize operations.  A third-
    party library such as GnuPG is required for this feature.
  - Added the ability to specify the substitution parameter %USERNAME%
    as a session username.
  - Added a new session option "Display Filenames using UTF-8
    encoding" that specifies that files should always be displayed in
    UTF-8.
  - SFXCL: Added "resume" as a possible argument to the "Overwrite"
    option, which allows an interrupted transfer to be resumed.
  - Linux: SecureFX for Linux now includes the SFXCL command-line
    utility.

Changes:

  - Added the ability to store keys larger than 2048 bits in agent.
  - Added the ability to generate keys larger than 2048 bits.
  - When connecting a session, if there's an agent key associated
    with the session, it is tried first.  This can help prevent a
    session from failing to connect because the maximum number of
    authentication retries was exceeded.
  - The MD5 and SHA-1 fingerprints are now displayed in dialogs that
    show host key information.
  - The parallel transfers setting now applies to all transfers in
    SecureFX and SFXCL.  Previously, the setting only applied to the
    transfer queue and synchronize operations.
  - The local path can now be specified as a UNC path.
  - Font information was added to the information stored in the
    personal data folder.

Bug fixes:

  - SecureFX could crash if multiple sessions specified the same
    session as a firewall (i.e., jump host).
  - SecureFX did not upload the remote file when it was changed in
    certain editors, such as UltraEdit and Notepad++.
  - SFXCL: If multiple paths were specified for the /List command, a
    transfer operation was performed instead of a list operation.
  - Windows: SecureFX could crash when doing multiple large server-
    to-server transfers using SFTP.
  - Windows: Deleting the same session from multiple instances of
    SecureFX using the session manager could cause all the sessions
    to be deleted.
  - Windows: When using the session manager, if the default session
    was changed to include a username and a session was connected,
    SecureFX prompted for the username.
  - Mac/Linux: SecureFX could hang or cause 100% CPU usage when the
    file transfer protocol was changed.
  - Mac/Linux: If the posix directory was a symbolic link, it caused
    SecureFX to hang when attempting to open the Session Options
    dialog.
  - Mac/Linux: If SecureCRT and SecureFX were running and a change was
    made to the global or session options in one of the applications,
    the changes were not picked up by the other application.
  - Linux: Deleting the same session from multiple instances of
    SecureFX using the session manager could cause SecureFX to crash.
