(Version 2.5 replaced by v2.51)

Several fixes for minor bugs and inconsistencies, plus two new features.

Changes since 2.41:

- added option to make exit button minimise the program instead of shutting it down
- removed incorrect label from bitswaps per min clipping level
- default clipping level for bitswaps per min increased to 100
- corrected some visual misbehaviour when enabling and disabling various graphs
- corrected error whereby the bitloading graph would sometimes be visible when disabled
- it's no longer required to press "Apply" on the basic configuration page
- added experimental "Special login" page for routers with a more complicated route
  to the BusyBox shell
- System tray icon popup hint shows downstream speed and SNRM
- added partial implementation of automatic update (downloads new version, but doesn't update)

   Windows XP   --  Looking forwards to this release -- when it works, nice options.   However so far I can't get the router settings remembered on close,  other options are remembered.  The option to minimize on exit half works i.e. it does just that but when it does that the quit does not work and a minimized window also appears as well as the system tray icon.  The only way out is to uncheck the minimize on close or kill the task.

[roseway]

Thanks for the report. I'll check those things out.

[Edit] I can confirm these findings, so I apologise and I'll fix them as quickly as I can.

[roseway]

The above issues are now fixed, and version 2.51 has replaced v2.5

(There may still be some minor issues with the functioning of the system tray icon on some systems. Please let me know if you find any problems.)

[Nodens]

For starters, thanks a lot for supporting this!

 Doesn't seem to be working for the ZTE. It seems to be stuck after logging in, not displaying any output although at some point it says "Recording started etc". Telnet window shows multiple lines of "blank".
On exit there's an unhandled exception thrown: Unhandled exception at 0x7743A710 (ntdll.dll) in rsw.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014.

I don't know how you're parsing modem output but maybe this highlighted line output before "Login:" has something to do with it?

[roseway]

Sorry it didn't work this time round. I'll work on it shortly.

[Nodens]

No problem. I'll be a happy man if I can monitor my line with this modem!

  On first startup after unzipping, if I select all the options I want I get an error exception and crash with nothing remembered for next time.  If I start with just the router settings it works, and if I then close it and restart I can change all the other settings and it works fine thereafter.  I thus get there but not in one go.  Some users may give you error reports from this cause but think something else is wrong. 

  Quit now works but use of "minimize on exit" still leaves a reduced to smallest window.

[broadstairs]

Eric been doing a bit of testing on 32bit Linux. Some observations:

1. Close button minimises to systray is mutually exclusive with Confirm on close, so how do I exit the program from the main screen? Would you consider still having a way to exit without having to use the tray icon to quit. Maybe a minimise button as well as an exit button

2. Minimise still leaves the task bar visible which will also restore the main window just like the systray icon does, most of my programs which do this only leave a systray icon.

I have not had any errors on startup.

[roseway]

Thanks for the comments. I'll be working on them soon.

  Stuart,

    If you want the option of a close button as well as "close giving minimize" would it not be better to leave it with the default of not selecting "close gives minimize" -- that seems to me to  give what you want. 

The idea of "close being minimize" is to avoid accidentally quitting.   The "only a right click quit" does just that - it makes accidental closing hard - very useful when you really do want a long sample.

[roseway]

If you want the option of a close button as well as "close giving minimize" would it not be better to leave it with the default of not selecting "close gives minimize" -- that seems to me to  give what you want.

I've been pondering this too. I can't really think of any tidy way of adding a "really do exit" capability to cover that situation.

[les-70]

  Sorry to add more to your queue of things to do but!!! I happened to try different sampling times today.  The max seems to be 240 sec.  I wanted to see if I could get smooth error rate curves. 

 This  revealed that the error rate axis actually seems to be errors per SAMPLE and not per minute.  I attach a swaps per minute snapshot in which the sample time went from 30 to 240 then 160 and then 60 secs . The 160 was an accident as the 1 is hidden from view most of the time.  There is also a gap due to a standby.  You will see how the roughly fixed error rate moves about.  This is from an HG622 which bitswaps a lot.  The impact is less clear in my CRC errors (fast path) as even at 240 sec I  get odd samples with 0,1 ,2, 3 and once in while 4.  At 60 sec it is just 0 and 1 with an occasional 2.   I  probably need at least a 600 sec average to see the more averaged rate which is probably about 0.5/min.

[roseway]

No need to apologise for reporting bugs.

I can increase the maximum sample time, and make the box a bit bigger so you can see the whole number. I think I know why it doesn't reflect correctly in the bitswaps per minute graph.

[les-70]

  I do apologize as I know how much work can be involved.

 I am fairly sure the CRC errors are just like the bitswaps.  The peaks of my intermittent CRC were definitely bigger with a longer sample time even if changing peaks of 2 to 4 is not a statistically confident proof.
