What's new in this version:
Features:
- Improve New Project support to allow selecting host, and creating source directory and Python environments along with the project (Wing Pro)
- Support Django project creation also on remote hosts and in containers (Wing Pro)
- Add package management with pip and pipenv (Wing Pro)
- Add support and documentation for Linux containers hosted by LXC/LXD (Wing Pro)
- Support Find Uses and Refactoring with values found in f-strings (Wing Pro)
- Add code warnings for named tuple attributes (Wing Pro)
- Add code analysis for stringified and commented type hints
- Analysis support for multiple return values and tuple unpacking
- Allow disabling individual syntax errors and indent warnings (Wing Pro)
Changed:
- Wing Personal no longer includes documentation and features specifically designed for third party modules, packages, and frameworks
- The editor background color preference has been removed, since it conflicts with setting the editor palette
- When using PuTTY for remote development on Windows, Wing no longer uses any port numbers stored in a PuTTY configuration, in order to work around a long-standing bug in PuTTY that uses the wrong port if no configuration was ever saved. Non-standards ports now also need to be specified in Wing's remote host configuration for that host.
- Remove the legacy Django project configuration functionality, which has been replaced by New Project
- Add an optional encoding keyword argument to the ExecuteCommandLine and AsyncExecuteCommandLine* wingapi methods to encode / decode strings sent to / received from child process. Encoding defaults to the default OS Commands encoding. If the encoding is set to None, no encoding / decoding will be done and bytes instances will be returned.
- Add a WriteToChild method to the handler instance returned by the AsyncExecuteCommandLine* wingapi methods. The WriteToChild method sends a string to the child process after encoding it and optionally flushes and closes the pipe to the child.

The Bat! Professional 9.1.18 (64-bit)
New:
- On TLS connections, The Bat! sends Signaling Cipher Suite Value (SCSV) "TLS_EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV" cipher suite (described in RFC 5746) to indicate that it is not prone to insecure renegotiations (see section 3.3 of the RFC). Some servers did terminate the connection immediately when there were no SCSV in TLS "ClientHello" (as described in the section 4.3 of the RFC). In such cases, The Bat! added the following message to the log file: "The server has closed the connection during TLS handshake"
Fixes:
- The Bat! did try to change associations from the Preferences dialog even if nothing in this configuration was changed by the user
- The Bat! didn't start if Windows interface language was set to Korean
- Shortcuts in message list tabs do not work
- Adding a shortcut in the customizer leads to an Access Violation error
- Toolbar customization was not saved in the message list window (the window of an opened email message)
- Hidden Quick Search by customization let it reappear as field in mail header pane
The Bat! Professional 9.1.16 (64-bit)
New features:
- The /TLS_DISABLE_ECDSA command line parameter to disable the cipher suites with Ellipric Curve DSA server certificates
- The Bat! QR Code generator now includes an ECI block to indicate theat the text has UTF-8 encoding for those texts that could not be encoded with Kanji or ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding, for example Greek or Cyrillic characters separated by spaces or Unicode emoji characters
Improvements:
- In an ECDSA signature, if a hash function had larger digest length (in bits) than the field size (which is not a good practice), The Bat! treated these signatures as invalid. It might lead to invalid ECC certificates, e.g. signed by "sha512ECDSA" algorithm. It might also lead to the following error: "TLS protocol error: Internal error BuildClientKeyExchange". For more information, see section 6.4 of FIPS.186-4 "ECDSA Digital Signature Generation and Verification": it is recommended that the security strength associated with the bit length of n and the security strength of the hash function be the same unless an agreement has been made between participating entities to use a stronger hash function. When the length of the output of the hash function is greater than the bit length of n, then the leftmost n bits of the hash function output block shall be used in any calculation using the hash function output during the generation or verification of a digital signature. A hash function that provides a lower security strength than the security strength associated with the bit length of n ordinarily should not be used, since this would reduce the security strength of the digital signature process to a level no greater than that provided by the hash function
- A certificate used to sign a message may also have a "Content Commitment" (non-repudiation) key usage instead of the "Digital Signature"
- When determining connection settings (host, port, encryption type) to an unknown mail server, TLS connection settings didn't take priority over plain text ones
- File type associations (default programs) can no logner be changed from an application since Windows 8 or later. So, if The Bat! is running under Windows 8 or Windows 10, the relevant elements are not shown in the "Applications" tab. Besides that, the dialog to associate file types no longer appers when The Bat! starts
Fixes:
- The Bat! did require "Key Encipherment" or "Key Agreement" in "Key Usage" certificate attribute for TLS even if the certificate was only used to sign ephemeral keys to provide perfect forward secrecy. If a server only supports perfect forward secrecy TLS cipher suites, the certificate used by this server may have no "Key Encipherment" or "Key Agreement" in the "Key Usage" attribute. As a result, the following error is fixed with Google (GMail) servers: "TLS handshake failure. Invalid server certificate (The certificate cannot be used for this purpose)"
- The Bat! QR Code generator didn't support Kanji character set
- (#0001785) Ctrl+mouse wheel doesn't zoom in/out in the "plain text" editor and "Windows editor"
- (#0001942) Search in QuickTemplates causes error on closing the window
- (#0001972) The message popup menu does not contain the option "Test filters"

- The default mail server configuration data was missing in The Bat! in all versions released after June 9th, 2019
- Fixed issues with menu images on 175% DPI
- S/MIME did not work since v9.1.10
- The Bat! did try to change associations from the Preferences dialog even if nothing in this configuration was changed by the user
The Bat! Professional 9.1.14 (64-bit)

- The /TLS_DISABLE_ECDSA command line parameter to disable the cipher suites with Ellipric Curve DSA server certificates
- The Bat! QR Code generator now includes an ECI block to indicate theat the text has UTF-8 encoding for those texts that could not be encoded with Kanji or ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding, for example Greek or Cyrillic characters separated by spaces or Unicode emoji characters

- Truncated/disappeared buttons in status bar of Editor window when switching text format to HTML mode
- Added the insert/overwrite mode for all message editors, not just MicroEd
- Pasting text to Quick Search was troublesome because when the user selects some text, e.g. an email address, in an outside application, that application often copies text to the clipboard with a trailing space character and when the user pastes it to Quick Search, the user don't see this trailing blank, but The Bat! doesn't find the address in the message list so the user becomes very perplexed.
- The log box in the "Message Base Maintenance Center" window doesn't scroll properly (as in the Connection Center)
- HTML Table editor is unavailable
- Quick Search in Message List does not use focused tab for a refined search

The Bat! Professional 8.0.10 (64-bit)
New features:
- 32-bit version of The Bat! now works even under very old computers with CPUs that don’t support MMX instruction set. In this case, FPU is used to copy data.
- Upgraded the HTML editor. Text formatting has improved (the components render bi-directional text and “exotic” scripts reliably; "justify" alignment and custom character spacing now can be applied to bi-directional text; new paragraph alignment type: "distribute"; distributed paragraphs are similar to justified paragraphs, but space is added between all characters, not between words; this type of alignment is common for Far East languages; customized alignment for the last line of justified and distributed paragraphs; special options for vertical text in table cells - automatic application of vertical fonts and switching column order from right-to-left to left-to-right). There were also visual improvements: the users can define a customized degree of transparency for backgrounds of paragraphs, tables, table cells, text boxes; user interface is compatible with high-DPI display modes
- AVX/AVX2/AVX-512 use: if the CPU supports AVX or AVX2 instruction set, 64-bit version of The Bat! will use large, 32-byte YMM registers for faster memory copy and fill, and if the CPU supports AVX-512 instruction set, The Bat! will use even larger, 64-byte ZMM registers for even faster memory copy and fill. These instruction sets are not used by 32-bit version of The Bat!
- The Bat! now uses improved multi-threading locking mechanism as a part of the improved memory manager - FastMM4-AVX. The new locking mechanism is much better than the mechanism implemented in the default memory manager which is used by the Delphi compiler
- If the CPU supports Enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB (ERMS), The Bat! uses this feature for faster memory copy or fill
- Faster overall program work gained by removing the "lock" prefix from many instructions that were supposed to provide multi-thread handling. On practice, adding "lock" prefix to an instruction slows it down significantly, and, in most cases, was not needed, e.g. increasing reference counters when assigning strings
- Internal program code rewrite regarding to HTML editors that was used in the message editor and HTML template editors
- AVX-512 Instruction Set is used, if available, for faster memory copy and fill operations. In order for The Bat! to make use it, a CPU with AVX-512 instruction set is required, for example Intel's Xeon Phi x200 (Knights Landing) and Skylake-X Core i7 and i9 models. Besides that the operating system should also support AVX-512 registers. It is Windows 10 latest update and Windows Server 2016 that support AVX-512
- Version 8 Splash Screen
Improvements:
- Better thread handling - the program works faster and generates lower number of the Page Faults
- Auto-configuration of display fonts on The Bat! first run. On Windows 7 and later, if the fonts are configured in Windows settings to be displayed as Cleartype or if the screen resolution (pixels per inch) is 150% of base DPI or higher, then, on The Bat! first run for this Windows user account after the new installation, the new fonts are automatically configured be used (instead of previously hard-coded values): Consolas and Calibri are now used instead of the old Courier New and Arial.
