Version history abylon ENTERPRISE:
Updates, changes and improvements of updates

Memory chip card support via the CT32 DLL has been removed.

When creating encrypted objects, the encryption algorithm can now be selected directly in the dialog for creating the encrypted element (Credential Provider).

All main dialogs got the Windows header again because there were problems with the individual header when moving, resizing, etc.

If the Manager- and UAC-GRABBER-Window is closed via the "Close" menu item, then the GUI is not automatically opened after the computer restart. The situation is different if the window is closed via the "X" in the upper right corner. In this case the GUI opens automatically after the reboot. In addition, the autostart is only done via the folder in the start menu and no longer via "Run" in the registry.

When calling the Crypt Assistant via the desktop icon, the source directory is now displayed correctly. If several files with different directories are encrypted at the same time, only the directory of the first file is displayed.

The problems with the module "abylon COPY" on mapped network drives have now been fixed.

In the Keysafe you can now copy the username and password to the clipboard with one click (button)! For security reasons, the clipboard is emptied after 10 seconds. This simplifies the operation of browsers, which do not support Drag&Drop.

All our modules can be switched into admin mode by the shield icon. Since this version the software can also be switched back to user mode. This is necessary for example, because Drag&Drop of files only works in the same context.

A waiting dialog is now displayed directly in the Explorer-PlugIn (menu of the right mouse button) after starting the abylonsoft function.

Dismounting of open Cryptdrives is now more reliable.

With the new Minus-Icon you can now remove shortcuts from all directories in the UAC-Grabber and Manager. Removal via the Del key is still possible.

The positioning and font output was corrected and standardized in all waiting dialogs.

The SSO functionality (Single Sign-On) is deactivated in the programs abylon KEYSAFE and abylon LOGON SSO Pro from version 19.x. An independent solution for the SSO functionality will be offered shortly. Please use the previous version 18.x or earlier.

The faulty check of an IMK file caused the user to be asked to convert the Keysafe by mistake. This problem has been fixed since version 18.1.

The "hang" of the settings dialog when opening and closing (mounting) Cryptdrives would be fixed.

In the shredder on the page Temporary files -> Other jobs you can define your own files and directories which will be deleted e.g. also during background cleaning. The INI file responsible for this can now be opened from within the program via an editor and individually adapted. Attention This file should only be adapted with the appropriate technical knowledge.

The progress bar when importing files is now displayed larger and therefore easier to read.

To prevent problems with the registry dialog, it is now always placed in the front panel (TopMost). Now the registration dialog shouldn't slip into the background anymore when clicking on another window.

Under special conditions, the password entry window may not always have the focus to enter the password directly. This was solved programmatically with a so-called mouse click event. Should this cause problems, this can be deactivated via a registry flag. For this, see the support page under password!

NOTE: Please note that the password scrambler converts certain special characters into other characters. If the program of abylonsoft does not recognize the password input correctly, this should be repeated with activated or deactivated password scrambler.

The files APM_LSMSNT32.DLL, APM_LSMSNT32x64.DLL, APMPNTSec.DLL and APMPNTSecX64.DLL are gone! This has no negative influence on the functionality, but accelerates the workflow

When copying e.g. with abylon COPY with network interruptions, the software now recognizes them and repeats them in case of problems.

Performance problems after software reinstallation could be localized and fixed.

The speed of chipcard access has been accelerated significantly. It is irrelevant whether the chip card is used for Windows logon or encryption. Further optimizations can be made on request

The superimposed admin icons have been removed from the settings dialog. If in the future a function is selected for which no sufficient rights exist, this is indicated in a message window.

The setup routines of the program are only started after the setup wizard is finished.

The accidental display in the settings for the CT32 DLL and the Administration Server has been resolved.

In the treeview view the icon view has been improved

In the settings under the tab Administrative settings there is now the option Allow settings dialog only for administrators. If this function is activated, the settings dialog can only be opened if the user is in the group of administrators

The waiting dialog when starting the application is now displayed as a simple hexagon with program name

Negative window coordinates are now intercepted programmatically. In addition, the unpredictable jumping of the window during slicing would be prevented.

Negative window coordinates are now intercepted programmatically. In addition, the unpredictable jumping of the window during slicing would be prevented.

The functionality RemoteAdmin was removed from all modules, because the registry access via the network did not work reliably since Windows Vista. With the software abylon LOGON Business the settings defined on the server are distributed to the clients via a restricted user profile

Drag&Drop operations over windows with different rights are now displayed with the no entry symbol. For example, no files from the File Explorer (user context) can be dragged into our dialogs if this was started with admin rights. This is also shown at the top of the dialog

The problem with jumping windows was fixed.

The new privacy policy and license conditions are included with the software and can be opened via the menu

The size of the program windows can now be adjusted to the maximum width of large screens

The license agreement was revised in German and English and adapted to the new data protection regulation DSGVO. The file is displayed in the setup and is attached to the program as a PDF file.

Update and position problems with the progress bar have been fixed

A small window is displayed for tedious processes. This tells the user that something is still happening and that he has to wait a little longer.

A significant acceleration of the programs was achieved by optimizing the internal function calls

General error corrections

Internally the programs have been extended so that "InApp purchases" are possible in the future

Some windows have been standardized in color and design.

The calling conventions of the tray icons have been revised

The title bar of the dialogs About, Error, Question and Registry now has a specific product color for better differentiation.

If SSO functionality is activated, the Keysafe window is opened by double-clicking on the desktop or tray icon.

Errors when copying entries in abylon KEYSAFE have been fixed

The abylon SHAREDDRIVE can also be used on various cloud services, such as OneDrive, GoogleDrive and Dropbox. All you need to do is install the appropriate client software from the cloud provider and offer the data in a directory on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Users\\Google Drive). If this is the case, the cloud directory can be selected in the abylon SHAREDDIRVE or better still a subfolder as Speiocherort. By encrypting the Shareddrive, all data is encrypted in the cloud and also the transfer from and to the clound is protected against spying.

Closing the program window via the cross icon now works with the first click

With activated AUTOSTART mode the abylon SHAREDDRIVE is started minimized.

Due to stability problems of the Windows File Explorer the Sharedrive File Explorer PlugIn is completely disabled. The access to the encrypted data now only takes place via the provided program interface of the abylon SHAREDDRIVE. The activation and deactivation of the abylon SHAREDDRIVE now only refers to the AUTOSTART of the program's own GUI after the login.

The application directory has changed from [drive]:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\apm\AUTOSTART to [drive]:\Users\\Documents\abylonsoft\AUTOSTART changed. Under certain circumstances files in AUTOSTART and FAVORITEN must be copied and accepted manually.

The account path can now be defined individually in the settings on the "Administration" page. This also makes it possible to store login accounts and SSO data in a cloud. However, it is not possible to select a network path

The distinction between Visual Studio 2008 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, and .NET 3.5) and Visual Studio 2015 (Windows 8, 10, and .NET 4) is now correctly reflected in the update.

The time calculation of progress indicators is now displayed again in the title bar.

Directly after the installation no new Shareddrive could be created. The problem would be fixed

Drag&Drop from the list (e.g. tan list) now copies the marked value again.

When setting the secret, you can switch back to the Password option if the key card is not available.

Clicking on the tray icon opens the program window with the left mouse button and the menu with the right mouse button.

In the program interface, the operation menu displayed as a pop has been removed for better clarity

All listed software products are now available in 2 versions. In principle, both versions can be installed on all supported Windows versions. However, we recommend the version compiled with Visual Studio 2008 up to Windows 7 and for mobile use. This setup requires the .net-Framework 3.5. We recommend the version compiled with Visual Studio 2015 for Windows 8 and 10, which requires the .net-Framework 4.0 and the Redistribution Pack. As long as the downloads are not differentiated yet, the version for Windows 8 and 10 is primarily offered. To get the version up to Windows 7, the file name must be completed with the character string "vc2008_". This results in a file name of "vc2008_[setup.exe]"

The abort button for "Shredders" did not react under certain conditions. The problem was fixed

The program dialogs (GUI) would be optically reworked and the usability would be simplified.

Incorrect display of progress indicator has been fixed.
