Version History

This shows you how often AW Ports Traffic Analyzer was updated with us over the past few months. Whenever available, we also include additional information for each update (new features, changes etc.).

version 2.34 - posted on Nov 14, 2006

On some machines, the application produced an access violation when the Install Provider button was pressed.

IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers nearly 60,000 IP ranges translating to more than 2.9 billion IP addresses.

version 2.32 - posted on May 02, 2005

Fixed:
Depending on IPSec rules, a workstation within Active Directory
might face NT/Authority enforced shutdown when joining the domain.

version 2.31 - posted on Apr 18, 2005

No further details available

version 2.3 - posted on Feb 15, 2005

Now, all data from overlapped connections is captured. Previously, for applications using overlapped connections the count of bytes sent and received was reported but some data was not captured causing a mismatch in the totals.
Fixed, sockets from overlapped connections were not reported by AWPTA as closed when closed by the application while an overlapped operation was in progress.
Fixed, some applications performing non-blocking I/O using the so-called Select Model were unable to connect. One such application was the Pegasus mail reader.
Fixed, many local IPs still showing 0.0.0.0 after a connection
Note that before a connection is established or if the socket is an unbound server socket it is correct to show 0.0.0.0.
Fixed Windows 98 compatibility issues introduced in previous
releases. Tests show that now AWPTA work very well on Windows 98. It appears to work as well on Windows 95 with the Winsock 2 update, although we are not supporting anymore this OS.
Fixed, access violation while grids were refreshing. This error was random in nature but more common on slow machines and under NT and Windows 9x.
Fixed, DNS service error on Small Business Server 2003.
The Ports Database has been update and contains more 140 records than the previous 2.2 release.
IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers 54,500 IP ranges translating to more than 2.7 billion IP addresses.

version 2.2 - posted on Sep 27, 2004

Services not running under the Local System Account could paralyse the network services across the system, produce NT/Authority induced shutdown and other issues.
This became more common under Windows XP SP2. For their own nature this does not apply to Windows 9x and Me machines.
AWPTA.EXE might not launch, or take a very long time to launch and then present totally empty grids.
Processes terminated without a proper cleanup, even for reasons unrelated to AWPTA, could lead to a network slowdown for the whole system.
With large Log Buffers, the Index Gauge was reaching full capacity much earlier than the other gauges. The maximum number of pointers in the Index has been increased from 300,000 to 600,000.
The Ports Database has been update and contains more 300 records than the previous 2.0x release. This includes a large quantity of recent trojans.
IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers 220 countries and nearly 52,000 IP ranges translating to about 2.6 billion IP addresses.

version 2.12 - posted on May 13, 2004

Under Options/Filters/Files, selecting not to track files had no effect.

version 2.11 - posted on Oct 28, 2003

awpta.exe could cause high CPU usage under Windows 98 and Millenium
edition, even when expected to be idle.

version 2.1 - posted on Oct 24, 2003

Running a Web Site on the local machine, was likely to crash
Internet Information Server when .ASP pages are being served. This is a general fix and solves issues with other software, such as Zinio Delivery Manager.
Tests have show that this release is compatible with Mcafee
Personal Firewall and some releases of Mcafee Antivirus which install a Layered Service Provider. You need to install AWPTA `after` McAfee, because the LSP installed by McAfee does not respect the protocol chain and installs directly over the base protocols leaving AWPTA out of the chain
The solution found may solve problems with part of the software mentioned in our site at http://www.atelierweb.com/pta.faq.htm, but at the moment
we can not confirm or deny.
Updated the Ports and Countries from IP databases.
Users that have been updating the 2.0x Ports Database by themselves and do not want to lose the changes they have made may upgrade the 2.0x Ports Database to the 2.1 Ports Database by running the included UpPDB.exe software.

version 2.01 - posted on Sep 16, 2003

AWPTA sessions can be optionally
The Processes viewer pane, is now optionally autorefreshable.
The LSP engine has been fully reviewed with very significant stability gains.
The Packets viewer grid is literally tens of times faster than in previous 1.xx releases.
Captured data can be saved in raw format.
The Ports Database has been dramatically improved and augmented.
For any particular line on the Details viewer grids (i.e., in the Traffic and Archives pages), important supplementary information can be retrieved by right-clicking and selecting Connection Details from the
popup menu.
AWPTA includes a Countries from IP database, 99% reliable on release date.
Booster.exe, an AWPTA 1.xx helper application which was loaded by default on Windows 9x machines, was simply removed. Users disliked it, complained about it and kept questioning us about it. We found an alternative solution to perform the same functionality and discarded Booster. No regrets.
Many other smaller enhancements and fixes...
