HTML Guardian version history
v. 6.7.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.7.0 has a new feature - it can protect
images which are not
included in any html file.
HTML Guardian will automatically generate a .htm file that displays
the image from a user-defined template, and will then encrypt it.
This simplifies a lot the protection of image galleries, and also makes
possible manipulating of protected images(or, to be precise, the encrypted
.htm files that display the images) through different scripts.
Please read the updated Help file for more details.
v. 6.6.9
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixes the bug that caused 'Auto-import ASP includes' feature not to work
properly when an entire folder is encrypted.
- Minor improvements in folder encryption, the currently encrypted file is now displayed in the program's caption.
- CodeAnalyzer™ engine and Encryption engine improvements and optimization.
v. 6.6.8
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.8 has a new feature - 'Auto-import ASP includes'.
If selected, all the .asp / .inc includes the currently encrypted asp
file uses will be automatically merged into it before the actual encryption
starts. The encrypted file will not depend on any includes.
This feature can be useful if you experience problems with the encrypted
asp files, and may also improve the encrypted asp files performance a
bit.
This new feature can be set from the 'General Settings' configuration
window.
Please read the updated Help file for details.
- The following bug: files containing illegal characters can't be properly
encrypted if Image Guardian is enabled - is now fixed.
- Main and supplementary debugging engines optimization.
- small user interface changes.
- other minor improvements and bug fixes.
v. 6.6.7
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.7 has a new feature - Domain Lock. It is similar to Don't
allow offline use feature, but is more restrictive - files encrypted with
it will work only from the domain they are locked to.
To use it, check the 'Use Domain Lock instead of Don't allow offline
use' box in the 'General Settings' configuration window.
Note that you will not be able to test Domain Lock protected files
on your PC, even through a local http server.
Please read the updated Help file for details - especially the notes
about testing encrypted ASP files if Domain Lock is enabled.
- Fixed bug that caused encryption process to hang in some cases of
folder encryption.
- HTML Guardian remembers the last folder selected for encryption.
- Most source code protection algorithms were optimized.
Version 6.6.7 also contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries, image protection optimizations
and minor bug fixes.
v. 6.6.4
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.4 has a new feature - 'Ask for a password only once' - it's applicable
only to the basic password protection.
It is available in the 'General Settings' configuration window.
Please read the updated Help file for details.
Version 6.6.4 also contains new CodeAnalyzer™ knowledge base entries
and minor bug fixes.
v. 6.6.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.3 adds a support for encryption of .PHP files. Please read
the 'Protecting PHP files' section of the updated Help file.
Version 6.6.3 also contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries
and some minor bug fixes.
v. 6.6.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.2 contains improvements in some of the encryption algorithms,
mainly when you encrypt
html files. Bug fixes:
-In some rare cases it was impossible to deactivate the 'Automatically
select encryption method' setting - this is now fixed.
-Fixed bug that caused sometimes profile settings not to be applied
when a folder is encrypted.
-Some other minor bug fixes.
Version 6.6.2 contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries
v. 6.6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.6.0 contains a new, much more powerful encryption algorithm
for ASP files.
In the program's user interface and Help file, it is referred as 'Enhanced
ASP encryption'.
The asp encryption available in versions prior to v6.6.0 is now referred
as 'Standard ASP encryption'.
You can set which one to be used as default from Configuration --> General
Settings.
The Enhanced ASP encryption has the following advantages compared to
the Standard ASP encryption:
- asp source is fully encrypted. Using the Standard encryption, it is only
possible to encrypt the server-side code in asp files, plus a predefined pieces
of the client-side code. Using the Enhanced encryption, you can encrypt asp
files entirely - no portion of the asp source remains unencrypted.
- asp source is fully encrypted for includes - no portion of the asp source
remains unencrypted.
- client-side code in asp server's response can be fully encrypted.
- client-side code in asp server's response can be fully encrypted for includes.
- it is possible to use the additional protection options for includes.
- plus some more enhancements ...
Another new feature is the option to test encrypted ASP files through
a local http server.
Please read the updated 'Protecting ASP files' section of the Help for
details.
Note: Enhanced ASP encryption is fully functional only in HTML Guardian
Enterprise edition.
If you use the Enhanced ASP encryption with HTML Guardian Personal
or Professional editions, the HTML Guardian banner will be inserted in
the encrypted .asp files.
- Version 6.6.0 also contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries,
bug fixes and user interface improvements.
v. 6.5.9
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.5.9 contains bug fixes, minor improvements and new CodeAnalyzer
knowledge base entries.
v. 6.5.8
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.5.8 has the following new features:
- enhanced file security
- slightly improved encrypted files performance
- encryption speed improvement
- some bug fixes
v. 6.5.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.5.5 has the following new features:
- Entirely new Code Compression algorithm - you can choose between Low
Code Compression (the compression used in versions prior to 6.5.4) and
High Code Compression. The new High compression will remove any single
useless character from your files before the encryption takes place. This
may significantly decrease the encrypted files size and improve their
performance. Note that big files will be encrypted slower if High compression
is used.
High compression can also be used if you want only to compress and
optimize your source code without encrypting it (that is if you check
the 'Only compress code' box in the main HTML Guardian window).
You can set the Code Compression level from the Configuration --> General
Settings window.
Note: You do not have to compress your files and then encrypt them.
The source code will be compressed automatically before encrypting any
file.
- A new setting, "Automatically select encryption method" is
available for the files encrypted for 'All' browsers. This was the most
requested feature after the release of version 6.5.2.
If checked, HTML Guardian will automatically select the most suitable
encryption method for each file encrypted for 'All' browsers. You can
still choose which encryption method to use if you uncheck this option.
It's available in the Configuration --> General Settings window.
This setting is enabled by default. If you do not want to use it, click
Configuration --> General Settings and disable it.
- Version 6.5.5 also contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries
and a slightly improved debugging engine performance.
- Version 6.5.5 fixes some rare security problems observed in the previous
versions of HTML Guardian.
- minor bug fixes
Please read the updated Help file for details.
v. 6.5.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.5.2 introduces 3 different encryption methods for All browsers,
optimized for different file sizes.
Changing the encryption method may significantly improve encrypted
files performance (loading speed) for big files encrypted for All browsers.
New setting, "Disable multi - language support" is available.
It is to be used for pages written entirely in English, and may improve
encryption speed because many operations related to multi - language support
will be skipped.
Please read the updated Help file, "General Settings" section
for a detailed information.
Bug fixes:
- fixed bug which caused a program crash on some systems when a folder is re-encrypted.
- fixed some minor bugs with encryption of files originally created on non-Windows
machines(UNIX/Linux/QNX/Mac etc).
Version 6.5.2 also contains new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries.
v. 6.5.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.5.1 contains Image Guardian and ASP encryption bug fixes
and new CodeAnalyzer knowledge base entries.
A new "General Settings" configuration window is available under

entire websites with a few clicks. It's similar to FileList Manager, but
will automatically encrypt all the files both for 'All' and 'IE 5+' browsers,
and will insert a browser detection and redirection code in each file
- this ensures the encrypted files can only be opened in a browser that
will display them properly. Please read the 'Site Manager' section of
the Help file for a detailed explanation of all the features.

v. 6.1.1
-----------------------------------------------------
1. New features in
v. 6.1.1
2. Upgrading from HTML Guardian Professional to HTML Guardian Enterprise
edition.
1. New features in v.
6.1.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 6.1.1 is a major update and contains many new features.
The most important one is Image Guardian - an add-on to HTML Guardian
for enhanced image protection.
No doubt this was the most requested HTML Guardian feature ever - we
have received thousands of emails asking us for yet better image protection
functionality.
Please read the Help file for a detailed explanation of Image Guardian
features.
Note that Image Guardian is fully functional only in the newly released
HTML Guardian Enterprise edition.
In HTML Guardian Personal and Professional edition, Image Guardian
functionality is limited. The limitations are explained in the Help file.
In the \Samples subfolder of the HTML Guardian installation folder, there
are some files and images you can use to test Image Guardian. All the
images inside \Samples folder comply with Image Guardian limitations for
HTML Guardian Personal and HTML Guardian Professional - this means Image
Guardian will protect all of them, as if you are using HTML Guardian Enterprise
Edition.
Folder encryption behavior has changed in v.6.1.1
Now when you select to encrypt a folder, the encrypted files will be
saved in a new folder at the same folder level, not in \Encrypted subfolder
of the selected folder as it was in versions prior to v.6.1.0
Here is an example: Let's say you selected to encrypt the folder C:\Test\
Versions prior to 6.1.1 will save the encrypted files in C:\Test\Encrypted\
folder.
Version 6.1.1 will save the encrypted files in C:\Test_E\ folder.
*All* files from C:\Test\ (even the ones that were not protected like
flash files etc) will be copied to C:\Test_E\
Also all subfolders of C:\Test\ will be copied to C:\Test_E\
This makes testing and uploading the encrypted files much easier.
Note that folder encryption is now recursive - all files inside subfolders
of the selected folder will be encrypted.
v6.1.1 also includes some minor bug fixes and some new CodeAnalyzer knowledge
base entries.
