What's new

Since previous release (version 0.2.0 alpha 2) the following changes and improvements has been made:

  • Discovery module – ICMP has been reworked to improve speed of the discovery process.

  • IP tools module – both Ping and Trace Route has been slightly amended to improve module functionality.

  • SNMP module – significant changes has been made, and the current release provides much more information now. The amount of information received by SNMP module is bigger than amount of information provided by Local Host module.

  • SNMP module documentation part (in reference guide) is significantly expanded according to a new functionality provided by the module.

  • Column names in Local host and SNMP modules has been unified whenever possible. OK. I have tried to do so.)

  • RFC1213 library units has been expanded significantly, some bug fixes has been done.

  • There are some changes (mainly bug fixes) in command-line utilities designed for RFC1213 library units testing.

 

The major changes in release 0.2.0 alpha 2 since release 0.1.0 alpha are as follows:

  • Project has been fully migrated to Lazarus and Free Pascal environment
  • Icon set has been replaced to Silk icons set
  • Use of Indy library has been eliminated due to problems with Linux compatibility
  • Reference guide has been drafted. See
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=193197 for .pdf
  • Code comments (in PasDoc syntax) has been improved significantly
  • Piece of TurboPower SysTools code (hex short string conversion) has been moved inside the yana's units, due to very strong dependency of SysTools on Windows/Delphi environment
  • rfc1213 library (part of yana) has been significantly expanded, and a set of command- line tools has been developed as tests for the library.
