The Bat! 4.0.0.1 ALPHA is available at http://www.ritlabs.com/download/files3/the_bat/beta/tba4001.rar
[-] 0006520: Installation did not create associated pics for the 2 icons [-] The window to select a new name attribute in S/MIME (X.509) generation dialog was not centered on the screen; it was placed in the top left corner of the screen instead; [-] The window to select attributes when creating a certificate request (PKCS#10) had bad design; editing of the attributes was not logical. [+] The AutoCheck and CheckOnActivate parameters of the /ADD command line option did only support "true" and "false" arguments. Now they also support the following aliases for "true": 1, on, yes, checked; for "false:" -1, 0, off, no. [-] The attachment panel could become invisible in the message editor; if you attach a file, there were an impression that it was not attached at all, until you save the message to outbox. In the outbox, the attached files became visible to the user. [-] The Bat! didn't display the contents of the Certificate Policies extension [-] Authority Key Identifier certificate extension was not displayed in the list of certificate properties. [-] The contents of the CRL Distribution Points certificate extension was not displayed in the list of certificate properties. [-] Zahid didn't compile [-] The option "When a password-protected account is being checked..." in the account properties was available even in modes which didn't have an account password, e.g. The Bat! Professional with On-The-Fly encryption. [*] The button "Lists" in the Submission Forms entry of The Bat! Preferences (Options|Preferences) is only available when The Bat! is started with /EDIT_SUBMISSION_FORMS command line option. [-] Private Key Usage Period was not displayed correctly in the certificate properties window. [*] The Bat! now gives a statement regarding limits on the value of transactions, if such an attribute presents in a qualified certificate. [*] The Bat! can now display Registration Authorities in the Qualified Certificate Statements extension, as discussed in Section 3.2.6.1 of rfc3739. [*] The Bat! now displays unknown key purposes in the Extended Key Usage certificate extension. [-] When the "Edit Address Entry" window was modal, it had a separate entry in the task bar that caused problems selecting the first (main The Bat!) entry in the task bar. This selection was not possible, The Bat! was blocked by the "Edit Address Entry" window. [-] Some certificate properties weren't localized [*] When a certificate had an extension that The Bat! could not recognize, and this extension was marked as critical, The Bat! it didn't load such a certificate. Now The Bat! load such certificates and allows viewing them, marking them invalid though. On such certificates, The Bat! displays "This certificate has a critical extension that is not recognized" [*] The Bat! now understands the "role" name attribute in X.509 certificates (see RFC-3281) [-] (#0006532) S/MIME decryption has caused access violations in 3.99.29 [-] If a certificate had expiration date after, 2038, it has not been displayed when viewing the properties of the certificate. [-] When adding e-mail addresses from the address book to the outgoing message using "Pick e-mail addresses" dialog, and the addressee name did contain the "quotation mark" characters, these character were preceded by back-slashes. Now the "quotation mark" and other non-RFC characters are removed from the addressee names. [-] The opportunity to cure infected messages using anti-virus plugins didn't work [*] When a message is signed or encrypted by S/MIME or PGP or has a PGP key attached, a security button appears in the left top corner of the message text header. This button has a pop-up menu that explicitly shows the list of security actions available on this message (e.g. decrypt, show signature details, import certificate, etc). The most important action is marked by the bold font style. If you click the left mouse key on this security button, this important action is executed. If the message has more than one important action, the left mouse key then invokes the pop-up menu to give the user choice: which of the important actions to perform. [*] If a message has several PGP keys, the pop-up menu for the security button did contain several _Import PGP key_ items, and the user might have an impression that The Bat! did create duplicate pop-up items , because of a bug. In fact, each of these items did relate to a respective PGP key. Now The Bat! uses explicit numbering _Import PGP key 1_, _Import PGP key 2_, to show that these items will import the appropriate key. [-] Attaching files and other file open and file save dialogs didn't work under Windows 95/98/ME. [-] The Bat! didn't start if the registry was write-protected and it was not associated as an e-mail client in Windows. [-] (#0006493) When signing a message using MS Crypto API and the device has a PIN code, it was necessary to enter the PIN two times in row. [-] The macro %CAPITAL didn't support Unicode characters [*] The first character is automatically capitalized in %TOFName and related macros if the recipient is specified by e-mail only. For example, if you specify only "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the "To:" line of a new message, it will now put "Hello Stefan," in the message text, and not "Hello stefan," as before. [-] The Bat! didn't handle "Authority Key Identifier" certificate extension. [-] IMAP Search command were sent incorrectly if a text string contained 8-bit characters [-] The Bat! has shown as invalid all the digital signatures which had receipt request attribute. [-] CRC32 of the address book entries was not calculated correctly. [-] (#0004739) Message databases weren't removed when the user did uncheck the "Keep the working directory and all data files" checkbox during removal of The Bat! Please note that if you click "Uninstall" in the Add/Remove programs, the Windows Installer Service will remove The Bat! program files only. In this mode, the Windows Installer Service has no opportunity to issue a query to the user. To actually remove the user data, click the "Change" button. When you click "Change", plenty of pages and queries are allowed. Select "Remove" and uncheck the "Keep the working directory and all data files" checkbox. [+] The Bat! now sets %EMAIL% environment variable to its mail directory (where mail accounts and address books are kept on disk). You can now type %EMAIL% in the address location of Windows explorer to quickly to to The Bat! mail directory. [-] If the structure of a message was broken, e.g. a multipart message had no or bad boundary signs, The Bat! did display an empty message. Now it displays raw message data in this case, the same information, when you get when you press F9 (Message Source). [-] The Bat! didn't use "PC Speaker" to play a sound, if this was configured in filters. [*] Message list sorting by "From", "To" or "Subject" column is now five times faster. [-] If you choose "Add Sender to address book" menu item, the item was added twice, which made two separate entries in the the address book. [-] "Add Sender to address book" didn't add attached certificates, and didn't extract the address (street, city, country) information from the certificate to the address entry. [+] The Bat! now supports "Binary Signing Time Attribute" attribute when signing messages using S/MIME internal implementation. This attribute is defined in RFC4049. [-] (#0004146) On some S/MIME signed messages, the internal implementation rejects signatures as invalid due to "no signed attributes". The same signatures are shown as perfectly valid when verified with the MS Crypto API. [-] Internal image viewer didn't support JPEG files with 4-component colour schemes (CMYK and YCCK). Such JPEG files also couldn't be displayed as embedded images of HTML messages. [-] ISO-2022 charset in HTML messages was not displayed correctly. [-] English messages with _ks_c_5601-1987_ or _euc-kr_ character sets could be displayed as hieroglyphs. [-] When importing messages from Microsoft Outlook, the RTF parts had improper (text/enriched) content-type. [-] (#0001693) Attachment in a message forwarded from Outlook is not visible nor accessible from TB. [+] The Bat! now support MS-TNEF format for embedded attachments. Please note that only raw attachment are extracted. MS-TNEF can include nested binary (Outlook IMessage) messages, Outlook meeting requests, Outlook delivery reports, and so on. Such binary Outlook objects are not extracted. [!] Folder Tabs interface is completely reworked in order to provide a new way to access various groups of folders and messages [+] Address History tab in the Folder Tabs to keep track of people one is exchanging messages with [+] Folder Favourite sets to keep some specific folders and addresses together in a single list [-] When replying to a message with ISO-2022 charset, the text was incorrectly quoted. [-] (#0006473) Attached files from nested EML message are not displayed in attachment pane [-] (#0001136) Automatic address completion was not working with secondary e-mail addresses of Address Book entries [-] (#0006013) Automatic completion was forcing to use longer versions of the text being typed [-] HTML messages in UTF-7 charset has not been displayed. [-] (#0006548) Folders were not stored at their new place when they were moved into another account [+] Log can be shown/hidden using StatusBar action [+] StatusBar account section has it's own customisable popup menu [+] enabled HTTP images retrieving code for VERSION4 [-] fixed attachment pane zero width on moving to next message [*] Improved Transparency/background drawing Mechanics for Container Panels. [+] ViewFrame now correctly shows/draws buttons on header [-] (#0004963) account data could be not accessible if the mail directory was different when restoring data from a backup [-] (#0006064) watched folders of virtual folders were not initialised when an account was restored from a backup or re-created [-] (#0006286) Wrong resize of multi-line text field in the filter condition editor [-] The Bat! didn't compile [-] bug resolved 0006566: An extra <tr> tag in HTML results in Access Violation error message. (for replay) [-] (#0006512) Headers were quoted twice when replying to a message with RFC822 headers shown in viewer [-] (#0006386) Toggling the "Favourite" option in the address book item list caused losing links with address groups [-] Only ISO charsets must be used in SSCE [-] URLManager shows UI when not needed [-] (#0006508) It was not possible to use an option to mark messages of sub-folders as read [-] The dialog box to query The Bat! edition (for OTFE startup) was too narrow [-] Export of S/MIME private keys to PFX files was incorrect ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.29 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
