SecureCRT 8.3 and SecureFX 8.3 Beta Releases from VanDyke Software Introduce Time-Saving UI Enhancements

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- VanDyke Software®, a developer of multi-platform secure terminal emulation and secure­ file transfer software, today announced the beta releases of SecureCRT® 8.3 and SecureFX® 8.3.

"For the 8.3 release, we focused on providing customers with time-saving features that improve the look, feel, and performance of the UI and make it faster and easier to connect to and manage sessions,"  said Maureen Jett, Product Director for SecureCRT. "SecureCRT introduces new built-in ANSI color schemes, including Solarized, so that customers can easily change the look of their terminal workspace. In both SecureCRT and SecureFX, the Connect bar autocomplete begins filtering as soon as you start to type so that you can quickly find and connect to sessions."

Encryption has been enhanced for both SecureCRT and SecureFX 8.3 with support for ChaCha20/Poly1305, AES-GCM ciphers, and the UMAC-128 algorithm. SSH2 authentication options now include OpenSSH certificates.

SecureFX 8.3 improves synchronization performance when working with large numbers of files and flders, and scripting file transfers is easier with the ability to take actions based on exit codes that indicate why an operation failed.

A paste confirmation dialog in SecureCRT 8.3 displays the contents of the paste buffer, helping to prevent accidental pasting of multiple lines of text into a production or other critical server.  Also new is line rewrapping so that when the SecureCRT window is resized, the text in the terminal area is rewrapped.
