(This information applies to VSTK and VSTKP)

Here is a brief summary of the changes for each component in this release of the toolkit. If the component is not listed here, then there are no changes made for this release.

Miniweb - Version 2.1

• Added the capability to cancel a command initiated from the miniweb graphical interface.

VFind - Version 14.0.4

• Added the '--exit-on-vdl-error' command line option which allows users to tell VFind to exit if any errors are detected when reading in the .vdl files.
• Fix bug in processing the path name of the vdl.list file and the vdl update lock file.
• Modified ".COM" file type check for emulator to also accept the 'unknown' file type and emulate that as a .COM. Added the emu configuration option 'do_unknown' (default off).

UAD - Version 3.12.14

• UAD's zip and RAR expanders can decrypt encrypted zip and RAR archive files. If an archived file cannot be decrypted the file is still extracted from the archive an is typed as 'encrypted'. An encrypted zip archive is typed as 'encrypted zip archive' whether or not the file can be decrypted. An encrypted RAR archive is typed as 'encrypted RAR archive' whether or not the file can be decrypted.
• A function has been added to UAD to find potential passwords for decrypting encrypted zip and RAR archives. The function scans the previously created component files attached to the encrypted archive file for the password strings. The decrypt functions use the passwords until one succeeds or the list is exhausted.
• UAD's zip and RAR expanders also use the passwords listed in the $VSTK_HOME/data/vfind/password.uad file for decrypting archive files. This feature complements UAD's find-password function and is intended to address cases where UAD would not find the password for decrypting an archive file, for example, when the password is stored in an image file. password.uad is a text file with one password per line. The maximum number of passwords is 1024. UAD tries each password in password.uad until one succeeds or the list is exhausted. A large number of entries in password.uad has potential to slow the processing of encrypted archive files.

MVFilter Version 5.1.3

• MVFilter now removes the macro name as well as the macro definition from the target file.
