Easy Data Transform v2.15.1 is now available

Easy Data Transform v2.15.1 is now available for Windows and Mac. Improvements include:

XML and JSON file inputs sometimes did not have the header set correctly, setting it as the first row instead. This is now fixed.
The font selection window used for Preferences>User Interface>User Interface Font and Preferences>User Interface>Data table Font was broken by macOS 27. This is now fixed.

macOS 27

Apple recently released macOS 27 ‘Golden Gate’. This breaks the font selection window in Easy Data Transform v2.15.0 and earlier. But this is fixed by this release (see above). We haven’t noticed any other issues with macOS 27.

Note that you will need to download the Rosetta 2 software if you want to run an old Intel-only version of Easy Data Transform on macOS 27 (see below).

Support for Intel Macs and binaries

Apple started shipping Macs with ARM (M Series Apple Silicon) processors in 2020.

Prior to Easy Data Transform v1.35.1 we only supported Intel binaries on Mac.

From v1.35.1 Easy Data Transform ships as a ‘universal binary’ that supports both Intel and ARM processors.

Apple is withdrawing support for Intel binaries in macOS 28 (planned for 2028). So, Easy Data Transform v1.35.0 and earlier will not run on macOS 28.

If you have an Easy Data Transform v1 license, you will need to install v1.35.1 or later (v1.47.1 is recommended) to keep using it on macOS 28.

If you have an Easy Data Transform v2 licence, you should be fine on macOS 28.

Note that we can’t be sure exactly which version of Easy Data Transform will run on macOS 28 until macOS 28 is available for testing.

The PHP panic

Some 70% of the world’s websites are estimated to run the PHP programming language. EasyDataTransform.com uses PHP for a few online functions, such as online key retrieval.

Two serious security flaws were recently found in the PHP. The flaws were leaked before PHP was fixed, causing a major worldwide security panic.

Out of an abundance of caution we took down the EasyDataTransform.com website when the issue became public on 21-Oct-2026. We then put it back up a few hours later, once we had received the PHP security patch. You may have noticed that online update checking and auto key retrieval stopped working. Apologies for any disruption caused.

The ever improving capabilities of AIs means these sorts of incidents might be quite common over the next few years. Buckle up!

Please note:

Once EasyDataTransform is downloaded onto your local computer, it will keep working quite happily, even if our website is down.
If you buy EasyDataTransform through our 2Checkout online store, then we never see (let alone store) your credit card or banking details.
We only store enough information about you in our online key retrieval system so that you can retrieve your license key by email.

Email us if you have any questions about this.

And finally…

Red faces all round at Indian certificate authority eMudra, who were found to be using absurdly weak private keys for some certificates. A private key is typically a number some 116 digits long. But some of the eMudra certificates were found to be using private keys only 1 or 2 digits long, including the number ‘4’! Which means the certificates could be cracked instantly. eMudra have since exited the certificate business. More on this story in The register.
