2026 Betas Available for Every Product
Betas of version 26 are now available for every product in our lineup, all in a single release. This release brings across-the-board enhancements in performance, security, and developer experience, alongside the new features detailed below.
Go and Rust Editions
Go and Rust editions are now available across our entire product line. Developers building in these languages can now access our full range of components using native, idiomatic APIs, eliminating the need for cgo bindings or third-party wrappers.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
This release includes our first wave of post-quantum support, added across the toolkits most affected by the upcoming migration. ML-KEM key exchange support has been added across IPWorks, and ML-DSA signature support has been added to IPWorks Encrypt. IPWorksPGP, formerly IPWorksOpenPGP, has been updated with post-quantum cryptography and GnuPG V5 format support.
To learn more about adopting post-quantum cryptography in your applications, see our KB article on the topic.
Modern Authentication
WebAuthn support has been added to IPWorks Auth and Cloud SSO. IPWorks Encrypt gains new AES-CMAC and HMAC components, and PKCS11 support has been redesigned so certificates no longer need to be listed from the store first. NTLMv2 is now enabled by default, and internal OAuth support has been added to POP, IMAP, SMTP, HTMLMailer, and FileMailer.
PDF and Document Tools
SecurePDF's remote signature configuration is now available as properties. IPWorksZip adds batch operations, appending, deleting, and updating an archive file without repeated compress and decompress cycles. IPWorks XML adds full support for modifying existing XML, including adding and removing elements and modifying attributes, via new InsertElement and InsertAttr methods.
Cloud Component Updates
Cloud Mail, Cloud Storage, Cloud Keys, Cloud SSO, and Cloud Calendars all receive updates in this release. Cloud Mail adds a new LaunchBrowser event and an Interrupt method for CloudMailer, along with support for additional email providers including SendGrid and Mailgun. Cloud Storage adds Supabase as an S3-compatible service provider. Cloud Keys makes Azure Key Vault certificate support, previously available privately, public. Cloud SSO adds SAML decryption support. Cloud Calendars introduces a new iCal component for building, parsing, and processing calendar events, including recurring events.
Additional Updates
Additional updates and enhancements in this release include:
- IPWorks VoIP: Busy Lamp Field (BLF) support added, and dynamic recording enabled by default to streamline AI voice agent integrations
- IPWorks SSH: SSHDaemon now supports multiple host keys; fingerprint encoding updated to base64
- IPWorks EDI: AS2 updated to align with the RFC 4130bis draft, including stronger default encryption
- IPWorksBLE: new BLEServer component for direct device connections
- Java Virtual Threads support added (JDK 24)
- .NET demos now target .NET 10 by default
