New in The Bat! Voyager 9.5.1 (Jan 26, 2022)

  • Some users (for instance, the users of GMX) have encountered an issue related to email download in their IMAP accounts after an update on the servers. We have fixed this error and released an updated version with this hotfix The Bat! v9.5.1.
  • have also updated the portable version of the email client The Bat! Voyager. The new version of Voyager includes all the new features and improvements of the email client The Bat!

New in The Bat! Voyager 9.4.4 (Aug 25, 2021)

  • This version of The Bat! Voyager includes all the new features and improvements of the email client The Bat! The users of The Bat! Voyager can now take the advantage of the new HTML Editor. It is now possible to edit the source HTML code – both in the editor and in the templates (see the “Tools” menu). Moreover, Voyager can now switch from Plain Text to HTML editor once the user applies HTML formatting or adds an image into the email body. The new option “Display HTML-related message parts as attachments” is also worth mentioning: if you disable it, you will not see such email parts as Message.html and embedded pictures on the attachment pane.
  • One of the important improvements is the updated Image Download Manager. It is a tool for background image retrieval which prevents malware from reaching your computer through graphic elements of HTML messages. It blocks the suspicious images and lets the safe ones through. To access it, use the “Tools -> Image Download Manager”. You can add your own rules to allow or deny image retrieval by URL, folder or sender’s email address. To access the rules, you can also use the “Edit” button in the “Options -> Preferences -> Viewer/Editor -> HTML Viewer” menu.
  • We have also updated Chromium Engine version which is used for viewing HTML messages. Images that are downloaded from external media are stored in the local cache, and it is now possible to check this cache size and to clear it in the “Options -> Preferences -> Viewer/Editor -> HTML Viewer” menu.

New in The Bat! Voyager 9.3.3 (Jan 28, 2021)

  • Fixed secondary shortcuts. For example, if a single command had two shortcuts (primary and secondary), only primary worked. This affected the following shortcuts: Move to Next Unread (Ctrl+Right,Ctrl+Alt+Right) & Move Previos Unread (Ctrl+Left,Ctrl+Alt+Left)
  • Fixed "invalid class typecast" error when using RC4 (stream) cipher in TLS (introduced in 9.1)

New in The Bat! Voyager 9.0.16 (Jan 7, 2020)

New in The Bat! Voyager 8.8.0.1 (Feb 13, 2019)

  • [!] TLS 1.2
  • [*] (#0001248) refactor image download threads
  • [*] Contents of the "Organization" header line is not automatically appended in parenthesis to the sender's address header line on display if the contents of the Organization has a "@" character or a parenthesis or an angle bracket
  • [*] fixed select Image in toolbar customization
  • [*] If CPU supports SHA extensions, The Bat! Voyager will use them for SHA-256 hash. You can call The Bat! Voyager with /SHA256_BENCHMARK command line parameter to figure out whether you CPU supports the extension and what is real gain from using the extensions.
  • [*] Optimized thread usage by creating and freeing threads less frequent because of using more threads with a reusable thread pool
  • [*] The Bat! Voyager now ignores message header address line comments that contain "@" characters
  • [*] The Bat! Voyager is now able to locate GPG4WIN 3.1.1
  • [*] The Bat! Voyager now tries to call the GetAddrInfoExW function instead of GetAddrInfoExA. Only if GetAddrInfoExW is not available, it reverts to GetAddrInfoExA. This may probably fix problems on recent Windows 10 updates
  • [*] Updated the translation resources. At the moment, these change mostly affect Bulgarian user interface language.
  • [*] When you run The Bat! Voyager with /STARTUP_TIMING_LOG command-line parameter, it will also log all calls to anti-spam plugins
  • [+] "/TEMP:" command line parameter
  • [+] "/TLS_FORCE_PERFECT_FORWARD_SECRECY" command-line parameter
  • [+] Added new path macros: %PROGRAMFILES% and %PROGRAMFILESX86%
  • [+] Added the following Diffie-Hellmann cipher suites to the whole set of ciphersuites that can be used for Perfect Forward Secrecy:
  • [+] Christmas Splash screen uses randomly one of five images
  • [+] More info on The Bat! Voyager start progress is written to the ex_log.txt file if /STARGUP_COMMAND_LINE parameter is given
  • [+] New command-line parameter (must be specified as a first parameter in order to be accepted, other parameters may follow it): "/SHA1_BENCHMARK". For example, you can run /SHA1_BENCHMARK /NOLOGO /LOG_IA32CPUID
  • [+] New command-line parameter /LOG_IA32CPUID to write list of CPU capabilities to the ex_log.txt file.
  • [+] Now a meanginful error message is given to the log when the server disconnects during TLS handshake
  • [+] The "/TLS_DISABLE_PERFECT_FORWARD_SECRECY" command-line parameter
  • [+] The "/TLS_VERSION_RANGE:0-3" command line parameter to specify lowest and highest SSL/TLS version minor byte number that The Bat! Voyager should support. "0" means SSL 3.0, "1" means TLS 1.0, "2" means TLS 1.1 and "3" means "TLS 1.2". For example, to disable SSL 3.0, use "/TLS_VERSION_RANGE:1-3". Another example – to only allow TLS 1.2 – use "/TLS_VERSION_RANGE:3-3"
  • [+] The /TLS_DISABLE_DHE command line option to disable Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key agreement cipher suites on TLS
  • [+] The /TLS_DISABLE_ECDHE command line option to disable elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key agreement cipher suites on TLS
  • [+] The Bat! Voyager now splits long IMAP commands (of about 7500 characters or more) into shorter ones. This is needed for IMAP servers (e.g. Zimbra) that don't accept longer commands, e.g. when you move thousands of messages from one folder to another and the messages are not in a sequence. see "Long Command Lines" sections of the following RFCs for more details: RFC-2683, p. 3.2.1.5, RFC-7162, p. 4.
  • [+] Users of the On-The-Fly-Encryption mode can specify /DECRYPT_FILE_OTFE command line parameter to decrypt a particular file and save it to disk.

New in The Bat! Voyager 8.2.4.6 Beta (Feb 16, 2018)

  • (#0001423) Font drop-down list now displays recently used fonts
  • (#0001419) The active account is not changed when the "From:" is changed via the field's drop-down menu. Remove RSS accounts from "From" and "To" lists
  • (#0001413) CardDAV: Synchronization sends phone "Office" to organizational field "Branches" (tested with mailbox.org)
  • (#0001402) %QINCLUDE inserts wrong text
  • (#0001420) The header "Comments:" displays the contents of the "Subject:" header
  • (#0001430) Access Violation on "Reply to All"
  • (#0001429) Message text disappears from the editor window after auto-save
  • Fixed access violation errors introduced 8.2.4

New in The Bat! Voyager 8.2.4.3 Beta (Feb 3, 2018)

  • Better description for the registration key validity version
  • Better thread handling - the program works faster and generates lower number of the Page Faults
  • Default print margins are now 0.25 (quarter) inch
  • EWS option on create new account only appears when EWS DLL is present
  • Improved speed of CRC calculation, so the program overall works slightly faster as a whole
  • Increased speed of entering a folder or sorting messages in the list by From/To/Subject columns when there were only Latin characters. The speed increase is mostly noticeable in folders with more than 100 thousand messages
  • More debug messages will be added to the ex_log.txt with /STARTUP_TIMING_LOG command line option. It may be helpful, for example, in cases to figure out why the program hangs at startup
  • New Root CA certificates: added some root certificates used by Google mail servers
  • Non-exceptional (normal) situations like IMAP server responses "NO" and "BAD" were added to the exceptions log
  • On Windows 7 and later, if the fonts are configured to be displayed as Cleartype or if the screen resolution (pixels per inch) is 150% of base DPI or higher, then the new fonts are used: Consolas and Calibri instead of the old Courier New and Arial. Besides that, the default editor font size now accommodates to the screen resolution (pixels per inch): below 150% of base DPI, the default editor font size is 9pt as before, 150%-<200% - 10pt, 200%-<300% - 11pt, 300% and higher - 12pt.
  • On Windows 7 and later, with ultra-high-definition (4K) monitors with DPI of 192 and more (>=200% of base DPI), if an HTML email arrives with Courier New font defined, and the characters have font size of or between 5 and 28 points, the font is automatically displayed as Consolas. This behavior of substation of Courier New to Consolas is hardcoded and you cannot change it. This only affects screen, not the printer. On printer, when printing HTML with Courier New, this font is always used if defined so in the HTML.
  • Welcome message (in the Inbox) is no longer used for IMAP folders
  • [+] If the user has Account|Properties|Verbose log turned on, then the program, on the "Send queued mail" command will write addition information to the log: on total number of messages in the outbox, and on the number that has not been selected for sending because of "parked" or "sending" status.
  • [+] Libiconv version updated to version 1.15. Added ISO-2022-JP-MS converter. Updated the CP1255 converter to map one more character.

  • (#0000946) The server-side "Sent" folder is lost and re-downloaded on each program start for hotmail.com accounts. Although this was not related solely for Hotmail. The bug was the following: if we had a local folder in the IMAP account with a particular name, and then we've got an IMAP folder with the same name from the server, Voyager couldn't handle such situations properly, it didn't permanently store the TBB cache file, but instead created a new TBB on each restart of Voyager, but the old TBB file was abandoned and no longer used, thus occupying the disk space in vain.

  • Captions of some character set names weren't translated
  • Fix of the previously unfixed bug
  • Fixed a "stack overflow" error which could occur when a message got loaded, e.g. on IMAP
  • Fixed a bug that might cause "Access Violation" error in filters when there were multiple connections already working with the filters, for example, when moving sent message from Outbox to Sent folder
  • Fixed a EStringListError "List index out of bounds (0)" error in the image download manager
  • Fixed an "Abstract error" - this message was given when opeining EML files on disk
  • Fixed an access violation at startup
  • Fixed an access violation error on exit that could prevent from saving toolbar configuration data
  • fixed an access violation related to IMAP which could happen in many cases, e.g. after sening out a messag, etc - this was happening for a logn time
  • Fixed an access violation that might happen at the beginning of an IMAP session when it the account was configured to use multiple IMAP connections.
  • Fixed an access-violation on exit when the messages were loading via IMAP in progress and the user exits Voyager at this moment
  • Fixed an error that could happen when there were no free space left on disk
  • Fixed an error when cancelling a folder compression task on exit
  • If a QR Code window was called from the main window and was open, and you close the program, there was an Access Violation error
  • If the user interface was in such a language to which the website ritlabs.com was not translated and the user pressed "Help" button of F1 key, and there were no CHM file of this langugage present, the program gave an obscure error "Missing context help indxed ...". Now it opens the online help in English.
  • If there were a message source view window open and you closed the program, there were an access violation error.
  • If you collapse an account in the folder tree and restart the program, this account again becomes open, if you click the folder tabs before
  • If you save generated QR code to file or copy it to clipboard, it didn't scale to the fixed number of times, which might result uneven scaling.
  • Improvements on multi-threaded operation
  • Long labels didn't wrap in progress dialogues
  • MaliSendMailW gave access violation errors
  • Margin size adjustment controls (blue) didn't show in the print preview if the window was opened maximized
  • Removed some hard-coded fonts from some dialogs
  • SmartPad gave access violation
  • Some normal connection state changes were written to the ex_log.txt file
  • The "processing folders" status display window had too narrow captions
  • The default string encoding in anti-spam plugin changed from Windows-default-for-non-Unicode-programs to UTF-8
  • The MailTicker was sometimes grey and didn't move
  • The message editor status bar didn't show cursor position (line/character) for the following modes: Plaintext (Windows), HTML+Plaintext, HTML only. It did only show cursor position for Plaintext (Microed). Now it shows the position for all the editor types.
  • The program became slightly faster as a whole beause of significant improvements to some internal algorithms
  • The program couldn't gracefully handle improperly specified "charset=unicode", especially in malformed HTML messages
  • The program didn't always set the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY for temporary files
  • The QR Code generator didn't save a generated code to file properly. It asked for a list of graphic formats, but in fact only supported BMP. So if you chose, for example, PNG, it saved a BMP into the file with .PNG extension which was incorrect. Now it only offers to save to PNG.
  • There were an error after closing a separate window that shows an HTML message and opening it again and clicking to load external images while using own internal HTML viewer
  • When a QR Code window was already open and then the user have put another window to front and chose to generate a QR code from the menu, the old QR Code window remained in the background so the user had no idea what happened, as if nothing happened. Now the QR Code window will be brought to front in such cases.
  • When the program saves images, for example when you edit and HTML message where you have inserted inline images from clipboard, or you have added a photo to an address book entry - the program chooses between the two file formats - PNG and JPG, compressing to both formats and seeing which of the files are smaller. For PNG, compression level from 1 to 9 is selected, based on the dimensions of the image: larger images take faster compression levels, to not produce interface freezes when saving message; for JPG, quality of 85 is always choosen. Previously, the program did always save in JPG with 100 level, which did produce very big files. For photos, JPG proces smaller files than PNG, while PNG makes smaller files when there are flat images with just a few colors, like a simple screenshot.
  • When the Sorting Office window was opened, but the main window was in foreground, the Sorting Office window was trying to check the clipboard data used by other programs, which gave errors under Windows 10.

  • EWS option on create new account only appears when EWS dll is present
  • Improved speed of CRC calculation, so the program overall works slightly faster as a whole
  • Increased speed of entering a folder or sorting messages in the list by From/To/Subject columns when there were only latin characters. The speed increase is mostly noticeable in folders with more than 100 thousand messages
  • More debug messages will be added to the ex_log.txt with /startup_timing_log command line option. It may be helpful, for example, in cases to figure out why the program hangs at startup
  • Non-exceptional (norlmal) situations like IMAP server responses "NO" and "BAD" were added to the exceptions log
  • On Windows 7 and later, if the fonts are configured to be displayed as Cleartype or if the screen resolution (pixels per inch) is 150% of base DPI or higher, then the new fonts are used: Consolas and Calibri instead of the old Courier New and Arial. Besides that, the default editor font size now accommodates to the screen resolution (pixels per inch): below 150% of base DPI, the default editor font size is 9pt as before, 150%-<200% - 10pt, 200%-<300% - 11pt, 300% and higher - 12pt.
  • On Windows 7 and later, with ultra-high-definition (4K) monitors with DPI of 192 and more (>=200% of base DPI), if an HTML email arrives with Courier New font defined, and the characters have font size of or between 5 and 28 points, the font is automatically displayed as Consolas. This behavior of substation of Courier New to Consolas is hardcoded and you cannot change it. This only affects screen, not the printer. On printer, when printing HTML with Courier New, this font is always used if defined so in the HTML.
  • Welcome message (in the Inbox) is no longer used for IMAP folders
  • [+] If the user has Account|Properties|Verbose log turned on, then the program, on the "Send queued mail" command will write addition information to the log: on total number of messages in the outbox, and on the number that has not been selected for sending because of “parked” or “sending” status.

  • Fixed a EStringListError "List index out of bounds (0)" error in the image download manager
  • Fixed an "Abstract error" - this message was given when opeining EML files on disk
  • Fixed an access violation at startup
  • Fixed an access violation error on exit that could prevent from saving toolbar configuration data
  • fixed an access violation related to IMAP which could happen in many cases, e.g. after sening out a messag, etc - this was happening for a logn time
  • Fixed an access-violation on exit when the messages were loading via IMAP in progress and the user exits Voyager at this moment
  • Fixed an error that could happen when there were no free space left on disk
  • Fixed an error when cancelling a folder compression task on exit
  • If a QR Code window was called from the main window and was open, and you close the program, there was an Access Violation error
  • If the user interface was in such a language to which the website ritlabs.com was not translated and the user pressed "Help" button of F1 key, and there were no CHM file of this langugage present, the program gave an obscure error "Missing context help indxed ...". Now it opens the online help in English.
  • If there were a message source view window open and you closed the program, there were an access violation error.
  • If you collapse an account in the folder tree and restart the program, this account again becomes open, if you click the folder tabs before
  • If you save generated QR code to file or copy it to clipboard, it didn't scale to the fixed number of times, which might result uneven scaling.

  • The MailTicker was sometimes grey and didn't move
  • The message editor status bar didn't show cursor position (line/character) for the following modes: Plaintext (Windows), HTML+Plaintext, HTML only. It did only show cursor position for Plaintext (Microed). Now it shows the position for all the editor types.
  • The program became slightly faster as a whole beause of significant improvements to some internal algorithms
  • The QR Code generator didn't save a generated code to file properly. It asked for a list of graphic formats, but in fact only supported BMP. So if you chose, for example, PNG, it saved a BMP into the file with .PNG extension which was incorrect. Now it only offers to save to PNG.
  • There were an error after closing a separate window that shows an HTML message and opening it again and clicking to load external images while using own internal HTML viewer
  • When a QR Code window was already open and then the user have put another window to front and chose to generate a QR code from the menu, the old QR Code window remained in the background so the user had no idea what happened, as if nothing happened. Now the QR Code window will be brought to front in such cases.
  • When the program saves images, for example when you edit and HTML message where you have inserted inline images from clipboard, or you have added a photo to an address book entry - the program chooses between the two file formats - PNG and JPG, compressing to both formats and seeing which of the files are smaller. For PNG, compression level from 1 to 9 is selected, based on the dimensions of the image: larger images take faster compression levels, to not produce interface freezes when saving message; for JPG, quality of 85 is always choosen. Previously, the program did always save in JPG with 100 level, which did produce very big files. For photos, JPG proces smaller files than PNG, while PNG makes smaller files when there are flat images with just a few colors, like a simple screenshot.
  • When the Sorting Office window was opened, but the main window was in foreground, the Sorting Office window was trying to check the clipboard data used by other programs, which gave errors under Windows 10.

New in The Bat! Voyager 4.2.36.4 (May 13, 2010)

  • RITLabs announces an update for The Bat! Voyager. The main improvement of the new version is a significant speed up of message retrieving via POP3 servers. Besides, in this new version we’ve fixed SOCKS proxy work with TLS connections and included some improvements and fixes:
  • Added a new registry key "DisplayCommandLine" (DWORD). Set it to "1" to let The Bat! display the command line on startup. This may be useful when you are having difficulties in using The Bat! command-line parameters.
  • Added a workaround for a potential erroneous birthday entry in the address book.
  • Significantly reduced CPU load during POP3 sessions. This essentially improves speed of retrieving messages on computers with slow CPU and fast connection (e.g. Ethernet) to the POP3 server.
  • Fixed a spell-checker related AV on exit
  • The progress form about loading the antivirus plugins did overlap with the splash screen.
  • (#0004357) No account username/password update dialog during failed POP3/SMTP login
  • POP3 password was not updated if a server broke connection
  • Fixed "stack overflow" crash related to tbuser.def
  • The action to execute an external program from The Bat! task scheduler didn't work
  • Cosmetic fixes
  • SOCKS proxies didn't work with TLS connections

New in The Bat! Voyager 4.2.25.1 (Feb 2, 2010)

  • Christmas holidays are over. We've changed our Christmas splash screen for a standard one, but still continue our series of gifts. In the new version of our portable program The Bat! Voyager, users will get an improvement in large-size message download speed and some other innovations.
  • In The Bat! 4.2.25 the developers have considerably reduced CPU load during POP3 sessions. This significantly improves the speed of retrieving messages on computers with slow CPU and fast connection (e.g. Ethernet) to the POP3 server. On such machines the process of message download becomes many times faster, based upon 3 factors: message size, CPU speed, connection speed.
  • It's also worth mentioning other useful modifications, such as improved speed of handling folder names, especially noticeable on large folder trees, and changed Data Execution Prevention (DEP) detection algorithm for the operating systems prior to Windows Vista.

New in The Bat! Voyager 4.2.14.1 Christmas Release (Dec 26, 2009)

  • On the threshold of the winter holidays, RITLabs team makes its users a present – The Bat! Voyager 4.2.14, a portable variant of the most recent version of The Bat!. Major novelties are – compatibility with Windows 7, Menu Navigator and better work with antivirus applications.
  • Following The Bat! "classic" program's certification as "Compatible with Windows 7", the same is now applicable to the portable version. Christmas version ensures a compatible and reliable experience with any edition of Windows 7, including 64-bit.
  • The Bat! was always known for its wide range of useful functions. The other side of the coin was the fact that users could easily get lost in this diversity. Sometimes users could not find required menu items. For the same reason, some mechanisms of the program remain unnoticed. The Bat! Voyager 4.2.14 Menu Navigator is meant for resolving this problem once and for all.
  • Menu Navigator gives tips about the location of one The Bat! Voyager function or another. Menu Navigator can be found in the View section. Its interface is very simple: users enter the keyword (or its first letters) in the input box – and the Navigator gives a complete structured list of functions related to this word. For example, if you input the word "address", the Navigator gives you all menu items concerning the work with addresses and address books. When you click any of these items, a whole menu path appears, leading you to the desired function. In this way, you will never lose anything that's in the menu. Moreover, the Menu Navigator helps you to find out about those mechanisms that you haven't noticed in previous versions.
  • Users will appreciate the new "Find certificates" feature. Locating and organising certificates accumulated over the time and stored in different depositories becomes much easier.
  • The developers have also fixed the problems that appeared while working with several antivirus programs. Previously these programs had considered The Bat! to be a suspect application. In The Bat! Voyager 4.2.14 this problem is solved.
