Rebex .NET components 2018 R1: AES/GCM ciphers in SSH client and many enhancements

  |   Lukas Pokorny

This release brings many bugfixes and enhancements in ZIP and File Server, and it adds four new SSH ciphers to Rebex SFTP and Terminal Emulation.

Additional SSH ciphers

Client-side SSH now supports the following AES/GCM ciphers and ETM MAC ciphers compatible with OpenSSH: aes128-gcm@openssh.com, aes256-gcm@openssh.com, hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com and hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com.

Fixed ZIP compression of large files

We fixed a bug that occasionally caused data corruption (resulting in a failed CRC check) when compressing files larger than 2 GB.

Enhanced compatibility with .NET Core on Linux

Although .NET Core on Linux is still not a fully supported platform, we fixed an issue that prevented the previous version from working properly. Full support for .NET Core 2.0 and higher on Linux and macOS is currently one of our priorities.
