Viscosity version 1.7.13 is now available for both Mac and Windows! This version includes security and performance enhancements for the Windows release, an updated version of OpenSSL, and a number of small tweaks and improvements for both platforms.

Previously version 1.7.8 of Viscosity for Mac introduced sandboxing and privilege deescalation of the OpenVPN process for added security. These security features help to protect against possible future threats that could arise against OpenVPN itself, both local and remote. We're pleased to announce that the 1.7.13 update has added these features to the Windows version as well. This all happens behind the scenes, and shouldn't have any noticeable effect on your VPN connections.

The Windows version also includes reworked PKCS#11 support for improved library loading and token support, and a 64-bit build of OpenVPN. The Mac version also includes a number of improvements to its main menu for improved functionality, as well as a number of small tweaks to keep OpenVPN connections running smoothly.
