Editing Cartographer Project Release Notes (section)

= Release 1.4 =

Release 1.4 is primarily a bugfix release.  It consists of the following components:

* Cartographer GUI version 0.36
* Agent engine (xmpd) version 0.79
* MIB-2 plugin version 0.96
* Cartographer plugin version 0.50

== Whats New in Release 1.4? ==

* Matching algorithms loosened in order to cut down on the number of duplicate connection-based dependencies (e.g. database and LDAP dependencies).  Reducing the number of duplicates also cuts down on the total size of the global graph that must be disseminated among agents and thus it reduces their resource footprint.
* Solaris package did not remove cores, and ''.old'' files when ''pkgrm'' command executed.
* Lots of code cleanup in agent engine.
* Win32 APPVER set to 5.01 in Makefile.win32.common such that XP is now the minimum Windows kernel and build environment that is supported.
* Added ''kernelSize'' variable to Cartographer MIB and plugin to indicate whether underlying operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit (and eventually 128-bit?)
* Code cleanup with respect to IPv6 hostname resolution
* Logfile monitoring table added to Cartographer MIB and plugin.  Logfiles can now be monitored for regular expressions.  Logfile events not yet implemented as work is still underway on a unified event architecture.
* Tool ''testregex'' added so that regular expression testing can be conducted against logfiles.  This tool uses the same regular expression library that Cartographer uses.
* Logfile derived dependencies now supported.  That is, Cartographer can discover system and application dependencies by grog'ing through logfiles for regular expressions.  Differing regular expressions can be specified for adding and removing dependencies.
* Fixed nasty deadlock bug in Cartographer when dealing with virtualness.
* Added more internal support for IPv6 including hostname resolution, connection dependencies, socklib code, etc.  Sessions are not yet IPv6 capable nor are command-line tools.
* Added support IPv6 ICMP echo testing in Cartographer plugin.
* Fixed bug in virtualness determination
* Version numbers of all components now supported to 4 decimal places
* Added support for newer Linux device naming conventions in MIB2 plugin.
* Added ''subgraphlastChange'' and ''subgraphLastUpdate'' variables in Cartographer MIB and plugin.  These variables indicate when a particular agent's view of the global graph has changed.
* Server and Router views added to Cartographer GUI
* View Options now has "Show Servers" which overrides other view settings in Cartographer GUI.
* Updated splash screen in Cartographer GUI
* Dependency timeout intervals, in Cartographer GUI, now support increased granularity.
* Cartographer GUI system tooltips updated to include kernel size if known.

== Known Issues in Release 1.4 ==
