What's new in Version 10.2

  • The default value for the SSH packet's payload size was reduced to 32Kb in order to support more third-party SFTP clients and servers. This parameter can be tuned using the BatchSize property of both the SFTP client and the server.
  • The SFTP server was improved. The new version of this component supports more SFTP clients and implements both the client-first and the server-first approaches of starting the SSH session.
  • Added the certificate chain validation timeout and an options to ignore the revocation errors during the TLS/SSL handshake.
  • The RevocationFlags enumeration was replaced with a set of CertificateChainVerifyFlags flags. The new option allows tuning up the certificate chain validation more flexibly.
  • The DnsQuery component was improved. Added retrieving a domain SOA record.
  • The IP, MX, and reverse zone resolving was improved in the DnsQuery component with a help of using primary name servers for domains.
  • The independent SOCKS4 and SOCKS4a support was introduced. This new feature allows firewalls to automatically resolve the connected host name.
  • The HTTP requests submission was improved when using requests with file and image attachments. Now the attachment streams are requested only once during the sending process.
  • The Imap4Server component was optimized. The updated GetMessages event args allow you to filter the returned message set and do not collect all mailbox messages when handling IMAP4 commands.
  • The library provides the full Visual Studio 2022 support.
