Editing Cartographer Project Release Notes (section)

= Release 1.5 =

Release 1.5 is primarily a bugfix release.  It consists of the following components:

* Cartographer GUI version 0.50
* Agent engine (xmpd) version 0.7903
* MIB-2 plugin version 0.9603
* Cartographer plugin version 0.5006

== What's New in Release 1.5? ==

* Cartographer GUI has been ported to the JGraphX graph library (JGraph version 6) and extensively re-worked.  Improvements and fixes have been made to the Java/Swing event handling and window drawing/updating.  Major architectural changes are in store for future versions.

* Cartographer GUI views now update automatically and periodically

* Cartographer GUI layouts are not re-created unless explicitly needed.  This improvement should cut down on CPU and memory consumption.

* Cartographer GUI debug/stderr window now does not forced on top of other windows

* Cartographer GUI Fixed handling of reachable status

* Cartographer GUI status bars now properly updated via Swing event queue

* Cartographer GUI query/prune thread writes its status to the status bar

* Cartographer GUI can now set dependency age out interval in minute-granularity

* Cartographer plugin includes fixes for IPv6 remote filesystem detection and reachability

* Cartographer plugin better works around DNS errors when determining dependency client/server.  Many times, systems have forward records that do not match reverse records.  Cartographer plugin now better accommodates those situations.

* Cartographer plugin win32 router discovery could be fooled by bogus pattern matching of IP addresses

* Cartographer plugin includes fixes for IPv6 reachability testing

* Cartographer plugin peer contact and reachable times were incorrectly initialized

* Cartographer plugin includes detection of newer ''chronyd'' discovery

* Cartographer plugin now includes ability to configure ''dependencyScanInterval'' via ''cartographer.xml'' config file.  Default is 90-seconds now which reduces Cartographer agent CPU consumption.

* Cartographer plugin better detects local IPv6 dependencies

* MIB2 plugin now includes IPv6 addresses when communicating with Cartographer plugin

== Known Issues in Release 1.5 ==

* Cartographer agent does not yet support new service control architectures on Solaris and Linux

* XMP library port to Python is still needed

* XMP sessions still not IPv6 capable

* MIB-2 plugin not yet ported to Solaris 11

* Need more IPv6 support in MIB-2 (e.g. IPv6 routers)

* Some default installations of 64-bit Linux do not automatically include 32-bit versions of ''libxml'', ''libz'', and ''libgcc'' and thus need to be installed by hand.  On Redhat/Fedora 64-bit systems, one can add them very simply by executing the following command:
<pre>
yum install libxml2.i386 libgcc.i386
</pre>

* Some default installations of 64-bit Linux do not automatically include a 32-bit ''libgcc_s'' which is required by ''pthreads_cancel()''.  If not present, the library can be installed by hand.
<pre>
yum install libgcc.i386
</pre>

* Dynamic ports, on Windows machines, often start in the registered ports range (1024 through 49151) and therefore can give false dependencies.

* Cartographer Agent Windows installer can create a second system tray entry on upgrade.
