    The revision history of each SoftEther VPN build is here.
     
    • SoftEther VPN 4.05 Build 9416 (February 6, 2014)
      Added the .zip package with vpnsmgr.exe and vpncmd.exe for system administrators.
    • SoftEther VPN 4.04 Build 9412 (January 15, 2014)
      Whole English UI texts are checked and corrected by a native speaker of English. Fixed typos.
       
    • SoftEther VPN 4.03 Build 9411 (January 7, 2014)
      Modified the source-code tree. In the build 9408, some C# build-utility source codes were missing. In this build, full set of all source codes including the BuildUtil program are appended. No functional differences between this build and the last build.
       
    • SoftEther VPN 4.03 Build 9408 (Jaunary 4, 2014)
      SoftEther VPN became open source software from this build. More details on this page. Note that the major version 3.xx was skipped for internal reason of our project. So this open-sourced new version starts with major version 4.xx.
       
    • SoftEther VPN 2.00 Build 9387 (September 16, 2013)
      This build realizes the compatibility with Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (RTM). This build supports Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 officially. This build fixes the former problem when the user upgrades from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 by upgrade installation.
      The major version number of SoftEther VPN was incremented on this build.
       
    • SoftEther VPN 1.01 Build 9379 RTM (August 18, 2013)
      This security update is to strengthen the security of SoftEther VPN 1.0 (Server and Bridge).
      There is a remote administration function on SoftEther VPN 1.0. The function is to allow administrators to connect to the VPN server remotely to manage the server. In older versions, a third person can login to the VPN Server in the Virtual Hub Administration Mode if the administrator has forgot to set the administrator's password on a Virtual Hub. Older versions are also safe if any strong password is set on the Virtual Hub. However we suppose that there are some administrators who have forgot to set passwords for Virtual Hubs. In order to protect such potential vulnerable servers, this security update strengthens the VPN server program to deny all empty (not set) passwords on the Virtual Hub Administration Mode. Your VPN server has been safe also in older versions if you set any passwords for Virtual Hubs. However, we strongly recommend to apply this update program to all VPN server administrators who might have potential empty passwords on Virtual Hubs.
