DSLstats pre-release version 5.3.1 available for download
« on: January 01, 2015, 11:30:45 AM »

Several small improvements. Changes since v5.3:

- corrected small cosmetic error on Snapshots page in Windows version
- when the average error values are reset, the SES values are now included
- when the MDWS options "SNR per tone" and "Bitloading" are enabled, the corresponding
  options in "Items to monitor" cannot now be disabled
- when the option "SNR per tone" is disabled in "Items to monitor", its sub-items "Show as
  separate graph" and "Include with bitloading" are also disabled
- empty text files of error averages are no longer autosaved
- eliminated false positives in detecting resync events
- added option to select the font used in the graphs
- the configured modem/router model is noted in the event log on startup and after changing
- with modems which don't report FECs directly, DSLstats now falls back to RSCorr for FECs
- uploads to MDWS from locales which use a comma as the decimal divider are now converted
  to the UK format before uploading
- modified the telnet login function slightly to accommodate modems which apply extra formatting
  to the login prompt

Thanks for trying. You've got all the correct files in place, and the DUPLICATE RESOURCE responses are quite normal. I'll now have to apply myself to producing a diagnostic version for you to try, to get to the bottom of this.

For completeness I should mention that I removed the ~/.dslstats/ directory before attempting to start the utility.

Windows 32bit working fine here and the improvements are as it says on the tin, the only thing that sticks out in Version 5.3.1 is the CPU usage on every sample has gone up from 10% to 30% just wondering if others see this to if not then i'll need to optimize the OS.

Both, linux and windows versions are running fine here.
I don't have higher CPU usage than before. If you want to reduce it you may want to disable "bitloading" and "SNR per tone" monitoring.

Thanks morphium i'll do as you suggested.

EDIT: did as you said and the CPU usage has gone down to 9% on each sample
cheers  :)

Just another edit it seems the SNR per tone monitoring is the cause of higher CPU usage and while disabled and with bitloading activated the CPU usage is 1%

Eric, thanks a lot. Didn't see in the changelog the fix you made for the telnet prompt, does this include it? :)

In order to update, can I simply unzip and overwrite all files? I have a portable config, I configured it to write everything in the same dir.

Thank you. :)

In windows your config settings are held in C:Users\username\Appdata\local so even if you delete/remove the old DSLstats folder and unzipp DSLstats your current settings will survive and be used on Version 5.3.1

Nope: on windows you can configure DSLstats to write config files in the application directory (portable mode), that's what I did. Hence my request.

In the zip file I notice there's no .ini file so overwriting should be safe, but I preferred to ask. :)

Thanks for your comment.

yes it will work but don't delete the DSLstats folder or you will lose the config file thats why I find it's better to let DSLstats send the config/ini file to the appdata folder by default it cause's less hassel when updateing to a new version of DSLstats.

What NS says is true, but yes, you can just copy all the files in the download, overwriting the earlier versions. The configuration and saved data will be preserved if you do this.

Yes, that fix is included, but I forgot to include it in the changelog. I'll correct that.

I think this probably relates to the changes I made to deal with MDWS uploads from locales which use the comma as the decimal divider. So it should only affect the MDWS uploads of those two items, and they could be disabled in the MDWS section but left enabled for DSLstats' own graphing.

For the next release I'll modify that section of code so that the comma replacement only occurs on systems which actually need it.
