New and Improved features

• Updated SFTP engine to the latest version.
• Improved screen reader support. If you find some issues please let us know so that we can get them resolved. We've tested with Windows-Eyes and NVDA. All controls should now provide proper descriptions when tabbed, mouse over, or selected.
• Many improvements to the task scheduler. (when modifying or creating a task the syntax and parameters used by FlashFXP have changed, These changes are not backwards compatible with previous releases.)
• Improved FTP uploading where the connection would sometimes be dropped at the end of the transfer.
• Many code optimizations and performance (speed) improvements.
• Added [Site Manager] multiple select to the site list. This should make it easier to manage sites, specifically when wanting to delete or move a selection of sites at a time.
• Improved [Preserve File Date/Upload] feature, this operation is now executed as a separate operation after the file transfer completes, this is done so that if the command fails it doesn't confuse the user into thinking the transfer failed. More information is available on our website at https://oss.azurewebsites.net/forum/flashf...ngs-99%25.html
• Changed [Task Schedule] property repeat until configuration to allow "until" to be optional, when unchecked the task will run indefinitely. Previously there was no clear way to set this.
• Added [Translation] input validation for the Personal ID number field.
• Improved [Queue/Operation] en-queue delete logic to check to see if the same file/folder is queued for transfer and re-order the delete operation if determined that the file would be deleted prior to transfer. Most users would want to delete the file after the transfer not before. This check is on the source file location.
• Added [file list] icon shortcut overlays to symbolic links to files, when the file is detected as a symbolic link, not all servers will indicate when a file is actually a symbolic link.
• Improved [tree navigation] performance by eliminating a bottleneck that resulted in a 50% speed increase during certain operations.
• Added the ability to drop external folders/shortcuts on the local browser address bar to quickly jump to the folder of the dropped item.
• Improved performance (6x speed increase) when transferring many small files over low latency connections.
• Added the ability to use the keyboard shortcut shift+End during a rename (f2) to select the whole filename.
• Changed the way data channel sockets/objects are created and managed to improve efficiency and performance.
• Improved the way site to site transfers are aborted. This new method has been tested with pure-ftpd, gene6 ftp, proftpd, glftpd, ioftpd, vsftpd, drftpd, and serv-u.
• Added a file replace dialog when attempting to move a file into a location that already contains a file with the same name allowing the user to select the desired action, overwrite, skip, rename, cancel.
• Improved the user experience (reduced flicker) when minimizing and restoring the main window to/from the maximized state.
• Improved content layout and position when using large fonts or font scaling.

• Fixed [socket/bind] error when using FlashFXP with a transparent proxy such as Proxifier, where opening the data connection would fail with a Data Socket Error: Can't assign requested address.
• Fixed [DNS] When resolving the server hostname some DNS servers are returning two identical IP records, if the connection fails this can result in an immediate retry attempt and an endless loop ignoring any defined retry delay.

• Fixed access violation error that would sometimes occur when renaming a folder.
