• Addressed another bug introduced by the 10.12.5 update that led to a harmless message getting interpreted as an error during the "Rebuilding Kernel Extension Cache" phase of bootable backup tasks.
  
  
• Minor updates to the Spanish localization of CCC.
  
  
• Added a "Show Task History" option to the Tasks contextual menu.
  
  
• When creating a new disk image, CCC now applies more liberal access privileges to the root folder of the new disk image volume. Also corrected a permissions issue that caused startup problems when attempting to boot from a restored disk image.
  
  
• The Task History window's filter criteria are now cleared when closing the window to avoid having them applied when opening the window in a different context (leading the user to believe that no task events have occurred recently, for example).

Adam sent a copy of an Apple email regarding changes to iCloud access via 3rd party apps:

"Subject: App-specific passwords will be required starting June 15

Beginning on June 15, app-specific passwords will be required to access your iCloud data using third-party apps such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or other mail, contacts, and calendar services not provided by Apple.

If you are already signed in to a third-party app using your primary Apple ID password, you will be signed out automatically when this change takes effect. You will need to generate an app-specific password and sign in again.

To generate an app-specific password, turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and then follow the instructions below:

• Sign in to your Apple ID account page
• Go to App-Specific Passwords under Security
• Click Generate Password

For more information, read Using App-Specific Passwords. If you need additional help, visit Apple Support"
