- Top level Makefile now has a 'release' target
- pcap_set_direction() is no longer invoked in case of Win32 as older versions of WinPcap do not support this API
- MyService::modifyPort() declaration modified to fix the error reported by newer gcc compiler
- Queued RPC calls would cause crashes due to invalid pointers to request/response and/or controller; this has been fixed
- PbRpcController now takes ownership of request and response messages and
will delete them when it itself is being deleted
- This design mandates that request and response messages for each RPC call
have to be allocated on the heap.
- The convention for the Closure 'done' call now is to allocate and pass a
pointer to the controller object to it which will delete it after use;
this requires that controller itself be also allocated on the heap
(NOTE: this is just a convention - not mandatory)
- All existing RPC calls (in portgroup.cpp) have been changed to follow the
above convention
- Reordering of queued RPC calls has been fixed
- PortManager is now destroyed at exit; because of this fix the per port temporary capture files are auto-removed at exit
- WinPcapPort destructor no longer deletes the monitor threads because the parent class PcapPort already does it
- Capture does not automatically (and incorrectly) stop after one packet if started immediately after a View Capture operation
- User is prompted to stop transmit on a port first if he tries to apply configuration changes on a port in 'transmit' state
- OstProto service has a new method "modifyPort()"
- At port init port.isExclusive is now set using a bindconfig query (Win32 only)
- AbstractPort interface has 2 new pure virtual methods - hasExclusiveControl() and setExclusiveControl()
- PcapPort does not support this functionality (yet) so these methods return false
- WinPcapPort suppots this new functionality using bindconfig
- Port's notes (specifying Rx/Tx limitations) are now set and updated based on hasExclusiveControl()
- Presence of 'notes' on a port is indicated using a '*' after the port name in the port stats window
- The tabwidget has been removed from Port Window | Stream View Pane
- Ostinato Client has a new action in the port window's context menu for the same
- Port Icon in the Port Window is decorated based on exclusive control
- (Abs/Pcap/WinPcap)Port: Inter SendQueue Timing implemented using a dummy packet length of zero (this is not supported by the winpcap pcap_sendqueue_transmit() but since we don't use that API we are not affected)
- (Abs/Pcap/WinPcap)Port: Loop Mode Timing across loop iterations implemented
- Added the year 2010 to Copyright notice in the About dialog
Fixes
- (Win)PcapPort: Fixed the wrong rates when packets sent in 'burst' mode
- Major code reorganization of the server code across several classes with fewer 'friends'
- New server classes - AbstractPort, PcapPort, WinPcapPort, PortManager
- With this reorg classes have more focus than earlier and will be hopefully easy to extend
Fixes
- Ostinato client is now able to successfully reconnect and talk to the Ostinato server after a disconnect - earlier, if a method had been pending during the disconnect, the communication was not up after a reconnect; pending methods are cleaned up at disconnect now
