What's new

v19.0
- Added the ability to test POP3 logins.
- Added support for TLS 1.3
- FTP testing: added the ability to use an encrypted SSL/TLS connection.
- FTP testing: added the ability to check for the existence of a folder. Use the same syntax as for testing a file, but append a trailing slash.
- Added the "Reset Settings" tool to the File menu.
- Previously a "smtp:" URL in the Sites List would try SSL/TLS but considered it optional. Now it will only be tried if the URL begins with "smtps:".
- Most windows now calculate their width as a factor of the interface font size. Previously they were a factor of the screen size. This ensures that windows are the optimal size, even when the font is very small or very large relative to the screen.
- The Popup table now supports mouse tilt wheel.
- Numerous minor interface improvements.
- Fixed: Import Settings: this was not enabling/disabling controls as appropriate.
- Fixed: no error was occurring if a test on the Sites tab was not a recognized type.
- Fixed: unminimizing on a secondary monitor was moving the window to the primary monitor.
- Fixed: Help: Print: some hyperlinks were not followed by the page number.
- Fixed a minor memory leak.
- Fixed: the "No Caption" option was not always working correctly.

- SNMP stats: added the "TCP active connections" stat.
- Added a "Speak" tool to the Help viewer.
