What's new in ITK v2.6 ?

ITKv2.6 is an upgrade to v2.5 mainly providing MacOS X Carbon compatibility and bug fixes.

Some existing ITK commands have been enhanced compared to v2.5.

ITK "Light Binary Package" limitations

The "Light" binary package file can be used with both ITK Pro (with no stream limitation) and ITK Light license numbers (with the 8 streams limit). The "light binary package" is only provided to save disk space by removing uneeded cryptography and SSL code.

Enhanced and new commands:

• ITK_SSLSetCert now allows to set default certificate infos.
• Added ITK_SSLSetCipher(streamRef; cipherlist) to allow to set the list of ciphers on an SSL stream. ITK_SSLSetCipher must be called alfter ITK_TCPListen and BEFORE ITK_SSLSetCert.
• ITK_Text2HTML and ITK_HTML2Text now support the euro symbol (€)

Bug fixes:

• ITK_BlobUnzip: a bug could occur because of a too small decompression buffer.
• Expiration date was checked by mistake on SSL Server license numbers.
• New parameter added in ITK_EncryptText, ITK_EncryptBlob, ITK_DecryptText end ITK_DecryptBlob to provide initial vectors (IV) values. Encryption routines where not working correctly when using modes other than ECB (due to missing initialization of IVs).
• When using SSL under Windows, the negociation could fail with some browsers. This is fixed.

Other changes:

• Change of internal resource ID (15256 instead of 15000) to workaround a 4D Insider bug
• Better support of "soft line breaks" in ITK_Text2Quoted. This is activated if option is set to 2.
• Version 0.9.6g of OpenSSL is now used. This version includes a security bug fix regarding possible buffer overflows discovered in July 2002 (see http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt).
• Several optimization in the SSL code should improve its speed.
