- Improvement: Clarification of the rules to select which Certificates to take into account when available via Token, Smartcard Reader.
- Improvement: Speed up display of systray menu when 100+ VPN tunnels configured.
- Improvement: Log file name format changed to include date/time. This allows smaller file size when sending logs to techsupport.

- Bug fixing: VPN Client can now send INITIAL-CONTACT message during IKE negotiation.
- Bug fixing: Console stops displaying logs after clicking on menu Tools > Reset IKE.
- Bug fixing: Some 3G USB drives from Orange (e.g. 3G Business Everywhere) are changing routing settings preventing VPN traffic to go through especially when configuring the VPN Client to force all traffic in VPN tunnel.
- Bug fixing: A second VPN Client popup show up when coming back from sleep prior to Windows login if Gina mode (i.e. opening VPN tunnel before Windows logon) has been configured.
- Bug fixing: Wrong IKE timestamp format in console.
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel might not re-open properly when using 3G connexion especially if a new IP address is re-assigned by the mobile network.
- Bug fixing: When a tunnel is using Config Mode, Phase 2 renegotiation does not use the settings sent by the gateway, but the parameters from the configuration file, therefore preventing from opening the VPN tunnel.
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel might not open properly when using PKCS#11 Certificate and multiple certificate with the same subject on a single smart card.
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel might not open properly when importing a VPN Configuration containing a smart card. The message "conf_x509_subject_set: error while using PKCS#11 middleware" displays.
- Bug fixing: Payload CERT_REQ not send properly in some circumstances.
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel might not open properly when coming back from windows sleep mode.
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel configured with IP Address Range might not open properly.
- Bug fixing: DNS/WINS addresses might not be restored properly when using Gina Mode (i.e. opening VPN tunnel before Windows logon).
- Bug fixing: DNS/WINS addresses might not be configured properly when VPN Client Address (remote IP address is configured to 0.0.0.0).
- Bug fixing: Computer freeze in rare case of VPN Configuration using Certificates i.e. Windows Seven 64-bit on some Dell machines.
- Bug fixing: Traffic remains blocked when "Disable Split Tunneling" is selected and the VPN Client IP address (i.e. remote IP address of the computer) selected already exists on the computer.
- Bug fixing: Traffic might be slower when all traffic forced into tunnel (remote mask is 0.0.0.0) and using IE or Firefox.
- Bug fixing: The tunnel might not open properly, when the remote gateway is sending a large Certificate (e.g. key size of 2048-bit).
- Bug fixing: MTU modification might not be taken in account (Windows XP 32-bit only).
- Bug fixing: VPN tunnel doesn't open with 'Error 307' when the remote network mask contains specific values (e.g. 255.255.254.0, 255.255.252.0,...).
- Bug fixing: No smartcard PIN code popup when a special sequence of events occurs, like plugging in the smartcard, then VPN tunnel fails to open (e.g. router not responding), then plugging in again the smartcard.
- Bug fixing: VPN Configuration Wizard does not start when software starts and VPN Configuration is empty.
- Known issue: No Gina (aka. Open tunnel before Windows logon) on Windows 64-bit (Vista and Seven). Gina connection panel (before Windows logon) may appear with 5-8sec delay on Windows XP.
- Known issue: Wireshark must be installed after the VPN Client software to be able to scan its interfaces.
- Known issue: Exporting a VPN configuration to a mapped drive is not possible. No error message but the file is not exported. A work around would be to export to the local disk, and then copy to the mapped drive.
- Known issue: VPN tunnel might not open properly after this software upgrade when using Certificates from some Tokens or Smart Cards in some specific circumstances (i.e. Certificate subject). Walk around would be to force the selection of the Certificate in the Configuration Panel. You can do this by going to Phase1, select Pre-Shared Key then save, and select again your Certificate from Token before saving.
