PingPlotter Standard and Pro 3.30.7 beta 8 - January 16th, 2012

This beta is available for both the Standard and Pro editions. These do require a license key to run - if you're looking for the evaluation version, please download the latest full release.

The download link for this beta is at the bottom of this page.

Changes since 3.30.5 beta 4

Note: Please make copies of important PingPlotter Pro workspaces before overwriting them with the new version. Reloading a new workspace with an older software version will probably not work correctly.

• New MSI-based installer (even with good tools, building MSIs is a bear!).
• Quite a few changes to route change logic to make it more reliable. Alerts that sometimes didn't fire because of dynamic route changes should work more reliably.
• Making changes to alerts now applies more reliably across running targets.
• Fixed access violation when floating over a newly created target "just right".
• Auto-save image didn't always show the latest data if focus changes.
• .pp2 file association is now done in the installer instead of application.
• Updated a handful of 3rd party components - some new capabilities exposed.
• Fixed a variety of other bugs and small improvements.
• SSL libraries for secure alert email are now installed by default.
• PRO ONLY - Web interface updated. Now has login screen (rather than integrated browser authentication), and all updates are done without having to reload the browser window - should be more easily used and more responsive.
• PRO ONLY - Some improvements to Windows Service handling to make it easier under Windows 7 and 2008. The installer now has an option to install as a service which also installs a shortcut to access the service instance (on Vista+).
• PRO ONLY - Fixed some bugs with workspace save/load logic.

PingPlotter Standard and Pro 3.30.5 beta 4 - May 17th, 2011

Changes since 3.30.4

• Fixed shutdown access violation that would sometimes occur.
• Added link to the knowledge base from the Help Menu.
• /INIFILE setting would still use local profile settings if it existed.
• "Attach Collected Data to Email" and "Include Text in Email" options not saving correctly in some cases.
• Alerts would sometimes double-fire, and not always notify when conditions ended. This happened when the route lengthened while the final destination was unreachable.
• Auto-Save now defaults to save to your "My Documents" folder instead of the PingPlotter install path. This can be overriden by specifying a full path.
• Auto save now creates more than one level of directories, allowing $year\$month\$day\$dest style nesting.
• Sending an alert test email would sometimes cause an error if done without first tracing to a target.
• PRO ONLY - The web interface was sometimes unstable when adding / removing targets on a regular basis.
• PRO ONLY - "Sort to match target list" was not working.
• PRO ONLY - Fixed problem with scripted ping engine sometimes getting an error.
• PRO ONLY - It was impossible to open a read-only workspace file.
• PRO ONLY - Added ability to show/hide all time graphs on summary.
• PRO ONLY - MultiFileExport now exports Jitter statistics.
• PRO ONLY - Prompt for save threshhold and default trace interval can now be modified.
• PRO ONLY - Closing a tab wouldn't always prompt to save the data being collected.
• PRO ONLY - "Auto-Show Timeline Graphs on Summary" option was not being saved correctly.
• Several other bug fixes / tweaks.

As with all recent PingPlotter betas, a valid license key is required to run this beta (i.e.: any licensed user is welcome to try out this version).
