Version 6.7
Minor update with several improvements and optimizations.
The internal password storage has been replaced.
Note about password storage
With this program version, the internal storage of passwords has been changed. For security reasons, already saved passwords cannot be automatically transferred to the new storage format. After the update, please enter the saved passwords for ICP, SSH, SMTP, TCP, FTP, UNC and POP once again and save the respective settings again. The passwords themselves do not have to be changed. It is only necessary to enter them again so that they are saved in the new format.
