TrueUpdate Changelog

What's new in TrueUpdate 3.9.0.0

Jan 22, 2024
  • Feature: Added support for Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022 to the System.GetOSName action.
  • Feature: Made SHA-256 code signing the default, as SHA-1 Authenticode and timestamping services were deprecated in early 2023.
  • Feature: Added the ability to dual-sign your update (SHA-256 and SHA-384 or SHA-512).
  • Feature: Added support for certificates stored in the personal store, for use with OV and EV certificates with private keys on tokens.
  • Feature: Added a Show Signing Window feature to the Code Signing dialog for hardware tokens like Thales SafeNet Authentication that require a visible window in order for the PIN/Password prompt to display correctly.
  • Feature: Added a HTTP.IsValidCertificate() action. This action can be used to verify that an HTTPS server is returning a valid SSL certificate that matches the domain, to make the update process more secure. Assuming that somehow a server could be impersonated, using a self-signed or invalid SSL certificate (i.e. a "man in the middle" attack), an attempt like this could be detected before any file is downloaded from this location.
  • Fix: Made the String.GetFormattedSize action return properly formatted strings for sizes superior to 1024 GB (1 TB).
  • Fix: Fixed an issue in the Dialog.FolderBrowse action.
