Detailed features list
Features
| Jira ticket no | Description |
|---|---|
| PER-4446 | PIN caching in CryptoTokenKit (CTK) PIN is now cached in CTK by default. This is controlled by the "CTK.CloseP11Sessions" configuration option and has been also been enabled in the "CSP_PKCS11" config section. |
| PER-4449 | Automatic import of CA certificates in Windows It is now possible to configure the Personal Desktop minidriver to automatically import CA certificates from the card to user certificates store in Windows. This is controlled by the "minidriver.EnableCARoots" configuration option and is disabled by default. |

Corrected bugs
| Jira ticket no | Description |
|---|---|
| PER-4482 | Certificates that do not have matching key(s) on the card can be saved in the Certificate Directory File (CDF) if "OtherCDF" (for usefulCertificates) is not available. |
| PER-4486 | Since all supported Firefox versions now use native CNG API on Windows, "AlwaysLoggedInMode" needed for usable PKCS#11 behavior was disabled by default. |
| PER-4487 | There was an issue where Personal Desktop Client crashed with some YubiKey profiles. This has been fixed. |
There has been a change in default Windows configuration file regarding Firefox browser – see https://doc.nexusgroup.com/display/PUB/Firefox+interoperability+for+Personal+Desktop+Client for rationale. If you want to keep using Firefox with PKCS#11 interface instead of native OS integration on Windows, re-enable “P11_AlwaysLoggedInMode=1” in the configuration file for it.
