New in Prey 1.3.7 (Mar 12, 2015)

In case the proxy is not available the requests will fallback to a non-proxied connection. Also, thanks to changes in needle, you can add proxy auth credentials in the config file as follows: try_proxy: https://user:[email protected]:3128

  • CP: Handle invalid commands gracefully.
  • CP: Fixed unload bug on emitter.removeListener().
  • lib/package: Increase maxBuffer when calling ditto (OSX) so we don't get maxBuffer exceeded errors.
  • lib/package: Handle EPERM/EACCES errors on fs.rename caused by antivirus programs in Windows locking newly created dirs.
  • lib/package: Ensure destination dir is removed on fs.rename failure, to prevent get_latest() from failing thereafter too.

New in Prey 0.6.1 (Nov 18, 2013)

  • New:
  • Full support for iPads’ resolution. No more zoomed Prey to fit your screen.
  • Full support for iPhone 5's 4 inches screen. Prey no longer looks funny on your larger iPhone.
  • Full support for landscape and portrait views. Prey fits your device, not the other way round.
  • In-app Control Panel access and browsing. You won’t need to open a web browser to manage all your devices.
  • Easy AppStore access to rate Prey.
  • Improvements and bug fixes:
  • Fixed: pink pictures bug on iPhone 5.
  • General performance and stability improvements for Prey for iOS.
  • Updated: iOS SDK 6.0's deprecated functions.

New in Prey 0.5.2 (Feb 6, 2011)

  • Response encryption: Prey now supports 128 bit AES decryption for response bodies, which means that all data sent by the Control Panel will be encrypted with a salted secret key, rending theoretical man-in-the-middle attacks impossible. We’ll be deploying this gradually during the next days!
  • We also added a check to prevent malitious code execution through config values in the response XML. (Issue #85)
  • Better way of knowing if On-Demand is still active or not, using timestamps from the keepalive pings sent by the server. This should fix the issue that prevented some users from switching back to Interval mode.
  • Lots of code cleanups, removed duplicate or unused stuff. We’re also switching backticks for $() calls, which is much easier to read.
  • Small improvements to the auto update process.
  • Initial support for Prey to be run as a non-root user. On Ubuntu we were able to run as a third user with some sudo permissions. Once we get it working on Mac we’ll switch over and not run Prey as root any more (yes, we heard you guys).
  • Support for SMTP servers which don’t require authentication. Simply leave the SMTP user/pass fields blank and you’re set. Passwords with spaces should also work.
  • Added a simple SMTP user/pass verification routing in check mode (Standalone users).

New in Prey 0.5.1 (Jan 8, 2011)

  • Fixed an issue regarding password on Standalone mode and checks for On Demand mode.

New in Prey 0.5 (Dec 22, 2010)

  • Offline actions support: You can now force the actions to be kept running even if the device goes offline.
  • CronService for Windows optimizations and fixes (read note at the bottom!).
  • Windows Lock binary rewritten in C#. Better focus management. Task Manager disabling works as it should in XP and Vista/7 as well. As we’re not bundling WinLock.dll any more, there shouldn’t be any more false positives.
  • Windows screenshot grab in JPG which is lighter than PNG. Reports should get faster to destination now.
  • New strategy for capturing webcam shots in Linux (waaay better image quality and lightness). Thanks to everyone who helped on this.
  • Fixed file sending in SCP mode (screenshot, picture). (#76)
