- New Features
Because of the recent expiration of the Unisys license that affected GIF files, we now support creation of GIF images, in addition to PNG and BMP.
PNG Images now default to 256 color, resulting in about a 25% size savings (previously, the only format was 24 bit color on PNGs). An INI switch allows setting back to 24 bit color instead of 8 bit. E-mail to support@pingplotter.com for details on how to use this.
The auto-save configuration dialog now has buttons for `Save Now`, to allow for testing of switches, as well as being able to do an immediate save whenever needed. Note that doing a `Save Now` in no way affects the point at which the next auto-save happens.
Bugs Fixed
WHOIS Window has a popup error on Windows 95/98/ME. This error was non-critical (clicking it continues fine). FIXED.
No way to turn off the time graph for a destination that wasn` t reachable. With 2.41, right-clicking on the time graph allows you to hide it.
Right-clicking on `Destination unreachable` line in upper graph now acts like it was the final destination
allowing WhoIs lookups, alert setup, and showing / hiding of timeline graphs.
Log to file alert writing all data instead of just data when alert conditions are matched. FIXED.
Ignore first hops settings worked, but wasn` t saved between sessions. FIXED.
Some dual processor machines would go to our license server each time Ping Plotter is run. We don` t want to know how often you run Ping Plotter, and this is a bug. FIXED.
Auto-save frequency wouldn` t allow use of `Days` and converted that to seconds instead. Note that the maximum interval is roughly 35 days.
Certain command line switch combinations indicated that the Pro Version was necessary. FIXED.
version 2.40 - posted on Mar 10, 2003
- Complete re-write of internal engines. Allows some capabilities in this version and lots of cool stuff in the future. Big performance and reliability benefits in the 2.40 release.
Major re-write of alert system. Can now notify when a condition starts, when it ends, or as it is happening. Added the ability to launch an EXE when a condition occurs, and can also change the tray icon or show a message in the tray.
Annotations can be tied to a point in the time graph to show notes. These get saved in all images.
Save files format was changed and now takes up only 5-15% of what it used to (much of this is due to new internal compression).
Can now `Copy as summary text`
shows packet loss % / min/max, etc instead of only showing all the raw data.
Can do some annotation of an IP address in the history window so you can recognize what an IP was for (ie: enter an address of `10.0.0.1 My_Router` will auto-resolve 10.0.0.1 to `My_Router` even if not in a hosts table).
Double-clicking on a hop number now shows/hides the time graph for that hop.
