SecurStick Changelog

What's new in SecurStick 1.1.4

Oct 23, 2023
  • This version contains changes for the Windows variants that affect the selection of the default browser that SecurStick opens for login after starting. Unfortunately, Microsoft has changed the procedure for determining the program name of the default browser several times in recent years.
  • The new program version uses the new browser selection procedure.
  • If you do not want to use the default browser, you can still use the browser of your choice with an option, please see the FAQ below.
  • Even if SecurStick cannot open a browser window for whatever reason, you can do it yourself and enter the appropriate link to log in, typically
  • http://127.0.0.1/login
  • The exact address can be determined from the console with netstat -a. To do this, look for the line that says "LISTENING" and "127.0.0." contains, for example:
  • TCP 127.0.0.1:80 X:0 LISTEN
  • SecurStick is not tied to a specific browser. It also doesn't require a browser for functionality, just to provide the password after starting.

New in SecurStick 1.1.2 (Apr 15, 2021)

  • This version contains a correction of a bug that crept into version 1.1.1. It mainly occurs with the 64-bit versions and can lead to a program crash.

New in SecurStick 1.1.1 (Mar 15, 2021)

  • There are improvements for the Windows versions.
  • If the user name contains an extended character (e.g. an umlaut or an accented character), the message "There is already a file with the same name in this location" appears when copying a file into the secured area using Windows Explorer. This message is false and misleading.
  • If you select "[Copy and Replace]", an error message "The file" xxx "is too large for the target file system." Appears, even if the file is only a few bytes in size.
  • The new version of SecurStick avoids the problem.
  • The problem cannot occur on Linux and macOS because both systems are unable to manage user names with extended characters.

New in SecurStick 1.1.0 (Jan 29, 2019)

  • There are improvements to the mounting and unmounting of the WebDAV drive.
  • There is a version for Windows for ARM64 computers (Win64 / ARM). It is suitable for "Always Connected PCs".
  • SecurStick offers a French interface.
  • There is an -NoBeep call option to prevent the sound from clearing the WebDAV cache on exit.

New in SecurStick 1.0.21 (Jan 30, 2017)

  • Version 1.0.21 fixes an error that can lead to a crash if SecurStick can not mount the WebDAV server and instead use read-only access. When you quit the program, you tried to delete the WebDAV client cache, which caused the error.

New in SecurStick 1.0.20 (Feb 23, 2016)

  • Simplified method for automatically deleting the WebDAV client caches
  • Work-around for defective WebDAV clients, the special characters such as & and # not encode properly in filenames
  • For Windows version: instead the drive letter per option -Drive: X pretending you can define it in the name of the program file, for example, as "SecurStick (X) .exe"

New in SecurStick 1.0.19 (Sep 2, 2015)

  • The Windows version starts faster.
  • The Windows version checks whether the necessary WebClient service is installed and not disabled, and are optionally a message.
  • The HTML input fields of the web interface now have the autofocus attribute for direct keyboard entry.
