Versionshistory abylon READER:
Aktualisierungen, Änderungen und Verbesserungen der Updates

Problems with the installation of the "Mobile USB version" in the setup and in the software settings have been fixed.

In some of our applications (e.g. Logon, WLAN scanner, Keysafe, etc.) acoustic signals are emitted for certain actions. These have been optimized by using better sounds (sound files).

Numerous small bug fixes and optimizations.

Various changes to the GUI (graphical user interface).

When registering the software under a user with restricted user rights, admin rights can be requested via the new Run as admin button.

From this version onwards, the software supports sound files. A corresponding sound is emitted for certain actions (e.g. chip card events).

Problems with the simultaneous execution of our software in several user contexts have been resolved.

Various optimizations in handle management (allocate and share), as well as the window update in the progress bar in the File Explorer context.

Some virus scanners see problem copying the CG.Animations.DLL file to the Windows directory. This will be taken care of by the setup program in the future.

Problems with critical sections fixed!

All software products run more smoothly due to the revision of error handling (Critical Sections).

The function for reading out registy values has been revised so that foreign keys can also be determined.

The SubGauge progress bar did not show changes for large files.

The trace log functionality has been expanded.

The ability of our software products to run on Windows XP has been tested and enabled, as in the case of abylon LOGON Business.

The TRACE-LOG functionality would be revised and strongly supplemented!

Access problems of the .NET DLL for animated graphics were corrected.

For animated images a .NET component is needed. This is now initialized correctly, so that possible call problems are excluded.

By clicking on a column, all tables can be sorted chronologically.

By optimizing the function call, the performance of all apps could be increased significantly.

Problems in service connection and registry access were fixed.

If the execution from the file explorer via the context menu of the right mouse button does not work or the LOGON does not start properly, a change in the registry can remedy the situation. To do this, change the following value under "HKLM\Software\abylon\\Flags" from YES to NO.

The autostart of the program can be activated and deactivated via the menu (3 dashes).

The waiting dialog when starting the software is automatically closed after 5 seconds in case of a problem.

The size of icons in lists and trees has been reduced to 28x28 pixels.

To avoid protection violations, the general startup dialog of our programs has been revised. This can be disabled in the registry under HKCU\Software\abylon\ by changing the value FWUSEWAITDLG from YES to NO.

By default, files to be deleted are no longer generally shredded. The shredder level has been set from 1 to 0 for this purpose and can be manually adjusted in the settings under "General".

When starting the program as a minimized tray icon, a short hint text is displayed.

The start dialog of the programs was further optimized and can be deactivated via the registry in case of problems (HKCU -> REG_SZ -> "FWUSEWAITDLG" = "NO")

Administration rights are no longer required to check whether a new update is available.

Performance issues in the wait/start dialogs have been fixed and an animated wait squiggle has been implemented.

The automatic window adjustment under Windows 7 has been optimized.

Display the "Privatversion" output in the header.

After registering our software, this is now displayed directly in the about dialog.

abylonsoft software requires in certain cases a so-called system context to execute actions. In this regard, the query has been extended so that this function also works without errors in languages besides German and English.

There was a small error in the positioning of the settings dialog, which has now been corrected.

Initial tests of our software products were successfully conducted on the new Windows 11 operating system from Microsoft.

It is now possible to select the hash value when generating self-signed certificates. In addition to SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 are also offered.

Partially occurring "hang-ups" seem to be due to the waiting dialog. If not necessary, this has been removed.

Häufig bieten wir unser Software über unsere Partner für Privatnutzer kostenlos an. Damit die Anwender trotzdem einen kleinen Beitrag für die Weiterentwicklung unserer Software leisten können, bieten wir nun eine Spendenseite in Zusammenarbeit mit PayPal an.

The software products of abylonsoft are now offered in French and Spanish in addition to German and English. We would be very pleased about improvement and optimization hints for the translation.

Preventing a double start of the abylon MANAGER has been optimized.

The selection dialog should now default to folder documents rather than the program directory.

Unfortunately, in certain cases, crashes could occur when using our Explorer-plugin. The problem has now been solved for all versions.

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.

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.

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.

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

Performance problems after software reinstallation could be localized and fixed.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

Incorrect display of progress indicator has been fixed.
