FwPlatinum Change Log

Version 1.00 2001-06-08 Steve Campbell

Original. Based on Fwgold (http://rotoni.com/FwGold/) by Gianluca Rotoni. It is a ground up rewrite, offering the following enhancements:

• The speed critical section of the server has been moved into an eval loop.
• Common code has been taken out of the individual programs and moved into a module.
• We now 'use strict'.
• The 'use RRDs' statement now works when the RRD libs are specified by RRDPERLMODULEPATH.
• The server process now runs as a daemon process. It also returns full details of the data instead of just the totals.
• Usage instructions and POD documentation included.
• We provide a wide selection of standard areas for installation of fwplat, rrdtool, and the configuration file.

Version 1.01 2001-10-08 Steve Campbell

• Added the 'TITLE' config file parameter.
• Multiple fwplat.cron instances can run on the same stats collector while sharing the same CLIENTTMPDIR directory.

Version 1.02 2001-11-19 Steve Campbell

• fwplatd split into 3 seperate programs - fwplat-serverd, fwplat-logtaild, and fwplat-tabd.
• Documentation converted to HTML and enhanced for general use.

Version 1.03 2002-01-02 Steve Campbell

Compatibility changes made so that the programs will run with old versions of Perl. I've tested as far back as 5.004.

Version 1.031 2002-03-01 Steve Campbell

Fixed a bug whereby fwplat-serverd would crash when an unauthorised client tried to connect. This was due to the syslogging using severity 'warn' instead of 'warning'.

Version 1.032 2002-10-17 Steve Campbell

Update to fwplat-tabd to cope with the new table format introduced in FW-1 NG

Version 1.03.3 2002-10-17 Steve Campbell

Version 1.032 contained buggy alpha code for an upcoming new feature - this has been taken out so we just have the bug fix!
