Reflection 16.1 SP1 Update 1 includes improvements made since the Reflection 16.1 SP1 release.
Reflection Desktop 16.1 SP1 Update 1 includes several security improvements, and a number of resolved issues and enhancements.
Many of these improvements were made in direct response to suggestions from our customers. We thank you for your time and valuable input. We hope you continue to help us ensure that our products meet all your needs.
This update includes the following security improvements:
Reflection Desktop for X and Reflection Desktop Pro use a new cryptographic module for secure X Window connections. The module was updated because the previous third party provider announced the end of support for their cryptographic module. Bouncy Castle is the new Java cryptographic provider.
Security vulnerabilities CVE-2017-3737 and CVE-2017-3738 were addressed.
Several improvements were added for 6530 terminal sessions running in the Reflection Desktop for NonStop Add-On:
Improved 6530 scripting to allow running 6530 scripts from the command line, improved search performance, and changed behavior to shut down sessions when scripts end.
Added a "Clear Selection" action.
This update includes the following software fixes that resolve previous issues:
Problems with non-functional host session links being displaying on the Reflection Recent Documents list after upgrading from Reflection Desktop 16.0 to Reflection Desktop 16.1.
Problems that occurred with Shift Alphanumeric Keys in non-English environments and problems with Copy & Paste not wrapping text in the same way as the Rumba and IBM Personal Communications products.

Problems with running Extra! macros and opening and using Extra! sessions.
