Version: 9.01	Release Date: April 20 2009
Added: ability to not test directory listing when connecting to FTP server for the cases where no LIST permissions are possible however upload permissions are. To enable this feature set the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\South River Technologies\WebDrive\Connections\<sitename>\FileVerifyAccessOnConnect to 0. Fixed: Job scheduler was returning an "access denied" error on low privileged accounts. Fixed: Intermittent Amazon S3 500 internal server errors.

WebDrive will now retry the command up to "File transfer retry limit" times and pause 2 seconds between attempts. Fixed: Data Execution Prevention feature of Windows would in some cases cause webdrive.exe application to terminate when the popup window was displayed.

Version: 9.0	Release Date: April 1 2009
New: Support for Amazon S3 ACL's. You can now edit permissions on S3 files. There is also an option to preserve S3 ACL's when doing renames and overwrites on S3 files. New: Support for Amazon S3 COPY command to use for renaming files and folders. The folder rename still requires a copy command to be sent to the server for all files in the folder. New: Directory Change notification support. When enabled on the site properties/file settings dialog tab WebDrive will support the Windows change notification feature that Windows explorer signs up for when displaying the contents of a folder. WebDrive will poll the server to see if the directory has changed on the server and if a change is detected it will cause explorer to refresh it's contents. This works well for protocols that support reporting the modified time of a folder on the server, like WebDAV and SFTP. This may not be very effecient for FTP servers that do not support the MLST command. New: SFTP FIPS support. Fixed: Performance improvement when right clicking on files or folders in explorer which gets rid of long delays with no activity. Fixed: Directory caching issue that would result in the directory not refreshing when it became invalid due to it being out of date with the listing on the server. Fixed: If a persistent connection (connect at login) can't connect during login then don't display error dialog and don't prompt for username/password as this can interfere with the vista login. Instead the drive will show up with a red X icon and when the user clicks on the drive it will attempt to connect again. This can also be beneficial to wireless installations where the network may not be established at login time. Fixed: For FTP servers fixed a rename problem when using UTF8 encoding, the destination file name was not being encoded in UTF8. Fixed: Potential security vulnerability, removed permission on WebDrive service that would allow a change configuration command.
