UltraEdit 2022.1 is here with plenty of performance optimizations and a significant overhaul to a key number of functions. The UE 2022.1 release is focused on improving the core features of the editor as well as adding small but highly impactful options to improve usability.
Here's a quick rundown of what's new in UltraEdit 2022.1:
HTML browser and live preview powered by new rendering engine
UE 2022.1 comes with the integration of WebView2, a Chromium-powered rendering engine that significantly upgrades browser view and live preview. This replaces the Internet Explorer-based control to render HTML used in older versions of UltraEdit.
This means you can use and enjoy newer web technologies available in the modern web ecosystem (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) — and simultaneously see it all from the editor.
2-factor authentication (2FA) for SFTP connections
You can now connect to SFTP servers that require Time-based One Time Passwords (TOTP), or more commonly known as two-factor authentication (2FA).
We significantly refactored FTP code to provide a favorable experience when working with 2FA connections. This extended to all FTP dialogs, the FTP explorer, reloaded FTP files, and beyond.
To activate, access the new interactive login option by going to the Advanced tab in the account manager. With this set and with 2FA configured on the server, you'll be prompted to enter your TOTP from an external authentication system. Once authenticated, UltraEdit's connection manager limits all data and commands to the single connection to avoid multiple authentication prompts.
