January 10th, 2011· Tunnelier now includes the WinSSHD Remote Control Panel for WinSSHD versions 5.22 and newer. WinSSHD Remote Control Panel versions 5.06+, 5.11+, and 5.18+ also continue to be included.
· Fixed issue introduced in version 4.39 that prevented Tunnelier from functioning correctly when used with the -noRegistry setting.
· Fixed issue where the Tunnelier graphical SFTP interface would fail to list a drive that was completely empty of all directory entries (did not even contain the default '.' or '..' entries).
December 14th, 2010· Added support for fully automated password + public key login. Previously, a login that required both password and public key authentication required the user to click through at least one dialog displayed by Tunnelier. This can now be avoided by selecting an initial authentication method such as "publickey - slot 1 + password".
· Added configurable code page support for non-bvterm terminals. (bvterm always uses Unicode.)
· Fixed line drawing in xterm and xterm-alt.
· Replaced cases where the "MS Sans Serif" font was used with "MS Shell Dlg", fixing font anti-aliasing issues.
· Removed support for protected mode handling from non-bvterm terminals - it was introducing issues without a known benefit.
September 23rd, 2010· SFTP: Tunnelier will now transfer files even if file size information cannot be retrieved from the server.
· sftpc: Pressing the Esc key on an empty prompt would incorrectly disable further input of SFTP commands. Fixed.
· Terminal: added setting in Tunnelier Terminal tab, and -beep command line switch for stermc, to allow disabling of beeping sounds sent by the server.
· When connecting through a proxy server, some proxy servers choose to just send EOF to Tunnelier, instead of sending an error code. In this circumstance, Tunnelier would previously hang indefinitely, waiting for an explicit error response. Tunnelier will now handle the EOF response correctly, as well as timeout on its own if no response is forthcoming.
August 9th, 2010· The Tumbleweed compatibility fix in version 4.33 introduced a side effect which would sometimes cause Tunnelier to get stuck in an infinite loop while sending data. Fixed.
· The Tunnelier SFTP clients will now disable filesystem redirection on 64-bit platforms, allowing file transfer to and from directories such as C:\Windows\System32.
· For compatibility with some OpenSSH versions, Tunnelier will now accept SFTP version 3+ packets that do not contain an error message and language tag.
· The Tunnelier terminal clients are now more resilient when the Windows registry contains invalid console geometry settings.
May 28th, 2010· Fixed issue in Tunnelier SFTP graphical user interface where icons would drift slowly apart when Tunnelier was running for prolonged periods.
· Tunnelier now supports a new command line parameter, "-disableSftpLocation", which disables direct input of local and remote paths in the SFTP graphical user interface.
· Tunnelier now includes the WinSSHD Remote Control Panel for WinSSHD versions 5.18 and newer. WinSSHD Remote Control Panel versions 5.06+ and 5.11+ also continue to be included.

April 22nd, 2010· The default xterm terminal selection will now again send the same cursor key movement sequences as in Tunnelier 4.31 and earlier. For servers such as AIX that need alternative key sequences, a separate xterm terminal selection is now available, named "xterm-alt".
· sftpc now supports the "-progress=percent" command line parameter, which will cause it to print the progress indicator in a new line instead of updating it on the same line each time. Useful for programs that process sftpc's redirected output.
· The SSH implementation now takes steps to prevent the initial packet (KEXINIT) from being sent in separate IP frames. This should improve compatibility with servers such as Tumbleweed, which expect (incorrectly) to receive the entire KEXINIT packet in a single receive call, and fail the connection if this condition is not met.
April 22nd, 2010· Titles of forwarded Remote Desktop sessions will now be set properly on Windows 7.
· When using SFTP protocol version 3, the command line SFTP client (sftpc) will now generate directory listing entries like it does with SFTP 4 or higher, instead of displaying verbatim the listing sent by the server. This ensures that file times will be displayed using the client's local time if the server is in a different time zone.
· When displaying a directory listing in the command line SFTP client (sftpc), the detailed time format (with hours and minutes) will now be used if the time is less than half a year ago, rather than if the time is in the current year.
· The VT-100/xterm client will now properly handle extremely large buffer widths (2000+ characters or more).
· The terminal client will now send alternative key cursor movement sequences when using xterm for compatibility with AIX servers.
January 4th, 2010· Command line clients will no longer wrap their output when redirected.
· Tunnelier now includes the WinSSHD Remote Control Panel for WinSSHD versions 5.11 and newer.
· Fixed an issue which caused no-wait loops (100% CPU consumption) in some situations, e.g. during intensive port forwarding.
October 14th, 2009· Implemented workaround for Ipswitch WS_FTP Server 7. Decreased the SSH maximum incoming packet size from 35 kB to 34 kB, which appears to avoid triggering a bug in WS_FTP Server 7 which would otherwise result in disconnect due to a MAC check failure. Warning: In our testing, WS_FTP Server 7 appeared to be highly susceptible to variations in the client's maximum incoming packet size. Observed symptoms included the server apparently entering an infinite loop and not responding to connections. It is our suspicion that, with high incoming packet sizes, the server incorrectly overwrites not only its buffers, but possibly also parts of its code. We suspect that this may indicate exploitable issues in WS_FTP Server 7. We have observed that it is possible for an authenticated client to mount at least a denial-of-service attack through a large maximum incoming packet size.
· FTP-to-SFTP bridge: Resolved compatibility issue with Windows File Explorer, Firefox, and possibly other FTP clients when the SFTP listing sent by the SFTP server lacks the modification time attribute. This can happen when listing drives with WinSSHD 5. The FTP-to-SFTP bridge will now provide the FTP client with a dummy modification time attribute in this case.
June 19th, 2009· Now includes a WinSSHD Remote Control Panel for WinSSHD 5.06.
· Added a setting which controls whether, as in previous versions, Tunnelier should use only a short list of trusted Windows Sockets Layered Service Providers (LSPs), promoting stability, but at a possible expense of connectivity; or whether Tunnelier should use any LSP, promoting connectivity, but at the possible expense of stability.
· Improved text-mode file transfer support.
January 20th, 2009· Tunnelier now supports X11 forwarding, which can now be enabled in the Terminal tab.
· Tunnelier and stermc now support a -title parameter which can be used to override the default session-dependent titles of Tunnelier windows.
· The gssapi-keyex authentication method can now be used regardless of the username provided in the username field. Previously, the username field had to match the Windows account username of the current user.
December 2nd, 2008· Tunnelier now supports block encryption algorithms in CTR mode, in addition to CBC mode.
· Login tab: longer Service Principal Names (SPNs) for Kerberos authentication can now be entered.
· FtpBridge: fixed problem with EOF being sent on an already closed channel (discovered with Macromedia Homesite 5.5).
· Added various Layered Service Provider IDs belonging to Microsoft Firewall Client 2004 to the list of trusted LSPs that Tunnelier will use. This enables using Tunnelier with this firewall client.
· Remote Desktop forwarding: listening interface 127.0.0.1 is now used on Vista and Windows Server 2008. Previously, 127.0.0.2 was being used, which caused problems in some situations.
· Remote Desktop forwarding: implemented a one-second delay for the auto-logout feature. New RDP clients can establish two consequent connections to Tunnelier - disconnecting of the first connection would previously cause the auto-logout feature to close the SSH session.
February 26th, 2008· Tunnelier 4.26 is needed to remotely edit the settings of WinSSHD 4.26 and higher, until the next WinSSHD settings format change.
· Remote Desktop: for compatibility with Windows Vista SP1, the Microsoft Remote Desktop client is now launched with the '/admin' switch rather than with '/console' if the RDC client version is 6.0.6001 or newer.
· sftpc: When 'lmove' was used with a pattern like '*.txt', it acted as if '*' was used instead. Fixed.
· Implemented a minor workaround in socket usage to make Tunnelier compatible with Wine as of 0.9.53.
