Release announcements

Copssh version 5.0.3 is a maintenance release coming with OpenSSL version 1.0.1k fixing some security vulnerabilities. Copssh is not affected by those vulnerabilities, as it uses OpenSSL for some cryptographical support only. Cygwin DLL and GNU tools are also upgraded to their latest availabel versions.

Nagwin version 2.3.1 contains the latest available versions of PHP, Nginx, OpenSSL, Net-SNMP, Cygwin and GNU Tools, including some security fixes as well.

Copssh version 5.0.2 is a maintenance release coming with OpenSSL version 1.0.1j fixing some security vulnerabilities including POODLE attack.

NB! Copssh is not affected by vulnerabilities mentioned above, as it uses OpenSSL for some cryptographical support only.

Copssh version 5.0.1 is a maintenance release fixing two problems:

• Home directory is not created during the user activation if not existed before - this bug was introduced in the product version of 5.0.0

• Non-functioning session overview via status tab

cwRsync 5.4.1 installers and the free edition are updated with the latest versions of Cygwin (1.7.32), tools, OpenSSH (6.7p) and OpenSSL (1.0.1i).

Copssh version 5.0.0 contains the latest available OpenSSH version 6.7 with many features and bug fixes. Please pay special attention to backward-incompatible changes like removing unsafe algorithms from the default set of ciphers/MACs and removing support for tcpwrappers.

We have also updated most of the GNU Tools and Cygwin to their latest available versions, including bash coming with a ShellShock immune version:

You can now specify user-specific advanced options in the Copssh Control Panel (available only for the product version!):

We have updated our cwDup package with the latest available binaries. cwDup is a Duplicity implementation for Windows systems. Duplicity is an encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup solution using the rsync algorithm.

Nagwin version 2.3.0 contains the latest available Nagios Core 4.0.8 with feature enhancements and bug fixes. You can now experiment new JSON CGIs as well. Cygwin and GNU Tools are also updated to their latest versions, including OpenSSL 1.0.1i with nine security fixes.

Copssh version 4.9.4 comes with OpenSSL 1.0.1i fixing nine security vulnerabilities.  In addition, Cygwin and many GNU tools are updated to their latest versions.

Copssh version 4.9.3 comes with an updated Control Panel with following improvements:

• It is now possible to instruct the Control panel not to convert user names to lowercase. If you add the parameter below to the bin/copsshcp.config file, no conversion will find place:

[Options]
LowercaseUsername=0

The default behaviour is still conversion to lowercase.

• A chrooted sftp environment allowing isolated directories (access type Sftp) was only supported if the default service account (SvcCOPSSH) is selected. It is now supported for all kinds of service accounts including domain users.

• Copssh takes a service restart if a chrooted environment (access type Sftp) is specified during user activation, to avoid error messages about improper permissions on a chrooted directory.
