v1.7.0.1 released on [03 jun 2009] - switched to vc8 from vc6 (2 hard working weeks for fixing few thousand errors&warnings, finding hacks against new ms copiler/linker limitations etc.); - first attempts to implement a debug blocker; - fixed some memory leaks inside expressor.exe (aka _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC); - changed the PRNG related to RSA key generation due to a critical error; we advise you to change the project RSA key pairs because the registration keys generated with eXPressor prior to ver 1.7 are vulnerable; this will require to regenerate and send new keys to your clients; - fixed a bug which caused an error if canceling the packing process was too quick; - enabled "Select plugin..." in "General Options" tab; was disabled by mistake; - added Option to fake PE's signature; you can add custom signature; - added a tree control in Splash Property Page to make some room for other things; worked for a while at this control's keyboard support because default implementation didn't supported it; - added option to choose hardware ID string generation based on cpu,hdd,installed ram; - added Configuration type; ie: protect only, one touch trial (OTT registration without api); - fixed a bug in expressor.dll; keys generated were invalid if the program had encrypted code fragments; - added support for UNICODE registration names via UTF8 to be used with ShareIt etc; - the news are inside the help file
