AceText 3.2.1 is now available for download.
This release further improves AceText's compatibility with Windows 10. The default AceType hotkey is now Windows+Control+T. The previous default Windows+A no longer works on Windows 10 as it is reserved by the operating system to open the Action Center. You can configure AceText's system-wide hotkeys on the Hotkeys tab in the Preferences.
When we improved AceText's handling of Windows 10's transparent window borders we introduced a new bug. On Windows 10, closing AceText 3.2.0 when it is not maximized and with the left or top edge of the window touching the left or top edge of the desktop caused it to start up slightly wider or taller next time. AceText 3.2.1 fixes this while retaining improvements made in 3.2.0.
This release also fixes one important bug. On the Applications and Windows tabs in the Preferences, you can configure AceText to give special treatment to certain applications or windows. This includes an option to simulate copy and paste commands to make the application or window send text to AceText or receive text from AceText. If you enable this, you need to specify the keyboard shortcuts that AceText should use to simulate the copy and paste commands. If these keyboard shortcuts included the Ctrl or Alt key as part of the final key combination (or only key combination, as in Ctrl+V), then AceText did not properly release the Ctrl or Alt key when sending the key combinations to simulate the copy or paste command. This would cause the Ctrl or Alt key to remain virtually depressed until you pressed and released the actual Ctrl or Alt key on your keyboard.
AceText also simulates Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keystrokes to transfer text from and to applications and windows that are not configured in the Preferences. These were not affected by the bug.

If you build your installer on Windows 7 and on the platform page you selected only Windows 7 or later versions, then DeployMaster now applies a digital signature using SHA-256 instead of an SHA-1 as well as a timestamp using RFC 3161. This means that if your installers no longer need to support XP or Vista, then you can continue using Windows 7 to build installers with digital signatures that will be accepted by Windows 10 after January 1st, 2017. We previously believed Windows 7 could not apply RFC 3161 timestamps. It can, but the function needed for that on Windows 7 is documented incorrectly by Microsoft, causing a crash when called as documented.
Windows 10 will require SHA-256 time stamps for downloaded files on January 1st, 2017. This means Windows 10 will consider the download unsigned when the certificate used to apply the signature expires. So you won't notice this problem on January 1st, but when your certificate expires after 1/1/17. DeployMaster now shows a warning while building if it cannot apply an SHA-256 timestamp that will be needed by 1/1/17. You will never get this warning if you build your installer on Windows 8 or later, as Windows 8 and later can apply dual signatures if needed. If you build on Windows 7, you will get this warning if you select Windows 10 as well as XP or Vista on the Platform page. XP and Vista don't support SHA-256 timestamps, and Windows 7 cannot apply dual signatures. If you build on XP or Vista, then you will always get this warning if you select Windows 10 on the Platform page, because XP and Vista cannot apply SHA- 256 timestamps. On 1/1/17 this warning will turn into a non-fatal error. The installer will still be built successfully and will still be signed and timestamped with SHA-1 when this warning or error appears.
