Changes for v4.1.7 build 1688 - v4.1.8 build 1701

This hot fix makes FlashFXP compatible with Windows XP service pack 1 and service pack 2, The previous release required Windows XP service pack 3 to run.

Changes for v4.1.6 build 1688 - v4.1.7 build 1688

Improved http proxy and ftp ssl/tls handshakes.
Improved passive mode connections via a proxy server.
Fixed: [ftp/list/parser] trailing spaces in file/folder names were being truncated.
Fixed: [ftp/ssl] Improved and addressed some issues related to ssl session re-use on the data connection socket.
Fixed: [ftp/ssl] When closing the ssl session of a data connection FlashFXP wasn't waiting for an answer from the server, technically this is acceptable but could be a security risk? This change makes FlashFXP compatible with vsftpd when the config setting strict_ssl_read_eof=Yes
Upgraded SFTP engine to the latest version.
Fixed: [UI/drawing/non-themed] a small area of the toolbar background wasn't being painted correctly and displayed random colors.
Fixed: [ftp/upload] In some situations the upload would fail with a "File Read Error".
Fixed: [ftp/proxy/data connection] When connecting to a local proxy via the hostname if the hostname resolved to an IPv6 address in some cases the IPv6 address was treated as an IPv4 address resulting in a data connection failure.
Improved: [site configuration] Site Manager > FTP > Option "Use site IP for passive mode connections". The previous build wasn't using this option correctly causing a malfunction on some FTP servers.
Fixed: [transfer/case conversion] Filename case conversion option when using 'first character upper case' the first character was not upper-cased.
Fixed: [queue] When performing an en-queued delete operation if the connection to the server was lost then FlashFXP did not mark the delete operation as failed and go onto the next item in the queue.
Improved: [local browser/tree] The performance of local browser tree navigation when navigating network file locations.
Fixed: [task scheduler/task] When using the weekly schedule and selecting Wednesday, it would report a COM error "the parameter is incorrect".
Fixed: [proxy] SOCKS/HTTP proxy issue when using a local LAN based proxy to connect to a remote FTP server where the FTP server PASV reply returns a local LAN IP address.
Improved: [site configuration] Site Manager > FTP > Option "Use site IP for passive mode connections", This setting now has 3 states, unchecked (off), checked (on), and intermediate (auto-detect).
Fixed: [key manager] Exporting public and private keys via the key manager. (BUG #619)
Fixed: [ftp/data connection] after a passive data connection failure the retry attempt would also fail because an internal state flag wasn't reset back to default.
Fixed: [sftp/upload] a defect triggered by uploading a 0 byte file using the SFTP protocol, after the upload completed the next upload or directory listing would fail.
Added: [custom commands] the ability to create symbolic links (SFTP protocol) using a custom command, the syntax is "SITE SYMLINK "

Changes for v4.1.5 build 1668 - v4.1.6 build 1673

Improved status-bar panel width sizing for text translations, specifically during a file transfer the panel width would re-size to fit the length of text plus time which could fluctuate between hh:mm:ss and mm:ss changing the width of the panel, now the panel is sized to fit the translation + hh:mm:ss.
Deleting a symbolic link to a folder via the tree navigation now treats the symbolic link as a file delete operation instead of a folder delete.

Fixed excessively long wait when aborting a file transfer when using FTP+SSL, sometimes the abort could take up to 2 minutes to complete.
Fixed memory leak triggered by aborting a FTP upload using MODE Z. The Zlib compression object wasn't properly finalized to free the internal memory buffer.
Fixed FTP+SSL download issue that sometimes resulted in a transfer error even though the transfer was successful, this was caused by the way the SSL connection was shutdown.
Fixed access violation crash when running FlashFXP on windows 2000 or with themes disabled when in the Preferences dialog > Toolbars section. We missed a test to verify themes before attempting to use them to draw the default background.
Fixed access violation crash that can occur when switching between the local and remote browser.

Fixed an issue where the oldest site in the quick connect history was removed when the history limit was reached, instead of removing the site with the oldest last connection time.
Fixed an issue where FlashFXP was throttling the rate at which commands were sent to the server, this was most noticeable during recursive deletes and when transferring many small files.
Fixed changing the per-site preserve file date/time settings in the file transfer rules dialog didn't take immediate effect.
Fixed proxy/connection failure when connecting to an sftp server, resulting in an error message 'SSH Error: The packet is too large.'
Fixed a connection failure that occurred under the following conditions, connect to a ftp+ssl server and then disconnect before the ssl handshake completes, now connecting to a non-ssl ftp server, after about 30 seconds the connection attempt would fail.
Fixed an access violation that occurred when performing an en-queued operation (rename, exec custom command, move, delete).
Fixed reported progress percentage during an en-queued delete operation, the progress would jump between the correct value and 100%, and the progress bar wasn't shown on the status-bar.
Fixed an issue where several toolbar buttons would enabled/disabled while transferring a queue under multiple different conditions.

Changes for v4.1.3.1658 - v4.1.4.1664

Fixed upload performance issue, after lots of testing and research I have determined that the problem is related to windows "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level" setting. If you experience a slow down in this release vs previous releases please let me know via the forums.
Fixed custom command token %f when executing a command via the FTP search dialog. It was returning the path + filename instead of just the filename. (bug #582)
Fixed custom command token %c to correctly handle multiple commands separated by CR/LF.
Fixed the Active Edits dialog would automatically appear after restoring the main window, this issue only appeared on versions of windows prior to Vista.
Fixed auto reconnect on remote server move folder/file, the connection was restored but the operation was not executed if the main window did not have focus. (Bug #586)
Fixed the "swap panes" feature wasn't swapping the text shown on the status-bar. (Bug #587)
Fixed defect when performing a custom command after a loss of connection (i.e idle timeout), The connection is restored but the command wasn't always sent. (Bug #585)

Fixed file name character case conversion during a file upload, the conversion was not always being applied to the file name in some situations. (bug #565)
The installer update used for the previous update included an unexpected change that resulted in all command line parameters being quoted. This this change was unexpected and broke part of the uninstall process where FlashFXP prompts to remove the program data files.
Fixed PASV mode when using a FTP proxy. FlashFXP was forcing the server IP when the FTP proxy was located on a local network.
Fixed the behavior of select-all (ctrl+A) in the file list pane, performing a select-all will now un-select the parent directory. (Bug #571)
Fixed local file browser slow performance issue navigating to "My computer" if it contained a disconnected or ejected disk.
Fixed an issue where custom commands weren't being imported when upgrading from FlashFXP v3.x.
Changed the list socket data timeout so that its not bound by the connection timeout value, a low connection timeout could result in a lost of connection on a large directory or slow ftp server.
Improved the file transfer action rule for "rename" to try again on rename failure then if it fails mark the file as failed.
Fixed the sub-search feature on the server file search dialog where in some cases it would become non-functional.

Fixed an issue with plain text FTP downloads being incomplete (missing the last few bytes) under heavy disk i/o.
Updated the installer script engine to resolve an issue with FlashFXP failing to install on large hard drives (the previous fix was a crude patch), this is an official update from the developer.
Fixed 'compare folder' and 'transfer mode' tool-bar button defect, after clicking the drop-down arrow the button arrow disappeared.
Fixed defect in the behavior of the "Stalled transfers > Restart transfer if no data transferred" option, when the option was unchecked the feature did not disable as intended and the stall detection timeout was to 0 seconds triggering a timeout.
Added status-bar status icon indicator to reflect when FTP MODE Z or SFTP compression is enabled.
Fixed an issue where the "parent folder" item in the server file list was unclickable after performing a remote folder delete.
