Version 8.7.5 is now available for download.

Sawmill uses OpenSSL to implement its HTTPS and SFTP features. The recently-discovered "Heartbleed" vulnerability in OpenSSL can affect Sawmill, and can potentially reveal passwords and other sensitive information to snoopers on the network.
On Windows, Sawmill installs its own local copy of the OpenSSL DLLs in its own installation directory, and the installed version is not vulnerable. So on Windows, Sawmill is not affected by Heartbleed.
On other platforms, Sawmill links dynamically to the OpenSSL libraries present on the operating system. If the version there is vulnerable (see the link above), Sawmill will be vulnerable. Upgrade your OpenSSL components to non-vulnerable versions (1.0.1g), to eliminate this possibility. See heartbleed.com for more information.
