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 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.
