New in tunXten 1.0.9.0 (Mar 21, 2016)
- tunXten is now available in two flavors – 32 and 64 bit. The installer automatically detects which OS you are running and installs the appropriate binaries. As old versions are 32-bit, they cannot auto-upgrade to 64-bit, so for users of any previous version it’s highly recommended to uninstall it first, them download the latest version and install it. All your existing OpenVPN configurations and application settings will not be affected. Also there’s absolutely no harm in continuing to use auto-updater, it will just upgrade to the latest 32-bit binaries, even on 64-bit OS.
- GUI now looks great on high-resolution displays. No more tiny icons!
- OpenVPN binaries updated to the latest version 2.3.10
- Improvements related to OpenVPN Access Server (enhanced config import process, tunXten can now work with PKCS#8 encrypted primary keys).
- Lots of minor bugfixes and improvements.
New in tunXten 1.0.8.9 (Oct 7, 2015)
New in tunXten 1.0.8.8 (Jul 29, 2015)
- This new 1.0.8.8 release includes updated two-factor authentication, now it’s extremely easy to use tunXten with, for example, an OpenVPN Access Server instance which makes use of Google Authenticator for extra security. Now our software automatically detects any challenge requests made by a server and shows additional data entry fields in Logon dialog so a user can supply corresponding responses.
- In addition to that the following changes have been introduced:
- OpenVPN binaries are updated to the latest and greatest version 2.3.7
- Chinese translation
- Minor GUI and command-line improvements, like:
- A visual hint about server address format added to “Import configuration from OpenVPN AS” dialog
- CLI commands operating on multiple configs now report the end of working session, which should help with writing automated scripts
- Auto-compact mode: on its first start tunXten detects if the number of found OpenVPN configs is greater than 10 and turns compact displaying mode ON
- Bug with broken “TAP adapter ? connected OpenVPN config” mapping fixed in Setting dialog, Advanced tab
New in tunXten 1.0.8.6 (Apr 12, 2014)
- The most important security-related topic this week is definitely the discovery of the Heartbleed Bug, which leverages a serious flaw in OpenSSL library, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary chunks of memory from affected systems. Although it seems that only servers using OpenSSL are affected, OpenVPN guys were quick to provide patched versions of the cryptographic library thus eliminating the possibility of introducing the bug in their client software. Today we have released the new tunXten version 1.0.8.6, which includes the latest updates
New in tunXten 1.0.8.3 (Sep 16, 2013)
- The two major things about the new tunXten release 1.0.8.3 are these:
- Now it’s completely ready for localization. Yes, this means that tunXten can now be in your native language! If you are interested in helping us in this task, please drop us a line using support form (or “Send Feedback” link in the application’s About dialog), we’ll be happy to reward you with a personal license.
- OpenVPN upgraded to the latest version (2.3.2 at the time of writing), this means that all the new features, including full IPv6 support, are finally there.
- There are also more changes, not so important but nonetheless worth noting:
- Autostart feature for shortcuts can now be toggled from a context menu.
- In compact mode it’s possible to show/hide the main window by left-clicking the tray icon.
- OpenVPN version can be seen in the About dialog.
- And, as always, a couple of minor bugs are fixed.
New in tunXten 1.0.8.2 (Jun 7, 2013)
- Log viewer now has “Clear log” button which truncates the log.
- Log viewer now has autoadjusting horizontal scrollbar.
- Settings dialog - it’s now possible to define a system-wide hotkey to show/hide all pinned windows.
- Settings dialog - “OpenVPN configuration files location” display moved from General to Advanced tab.
- Updated: Transparency level control moved from the main window to the Settings dialog (General tab).
- Updated: Transparency level is now set to zero by default.
