RouterStats History
===================

2.7h/i	11 Jan 2007  Prevented illegal characters (as filenames) being used in User-defined labels.


2.7g	09 Dec	The Help file is no longer deleted when RouterStats closes.

2.7f	07 Dec	Added current WAN Uptime to StatusBar  (Netgear DG834(G)).
		Added "Save" buttons to save configuration at any time without closing RouterStats.

2.7d	20 Nov	Corrected 'typo' in Telnet Summary. Was showing 'Connection Rate' text twice although displayed value was correct.

2.7c	14 Nov	Changed the way window size and position is saved when RouterStats closes.

2.7b	12 Nov	Improved router reboot routine.

2.7a	08 Nov	Added "Transparency" (Alpha-Blend) option.

2.7	03 Nov  Fixed bug causing "Send Now" (e-mail) not to work.
		Fixed bug causing Alarms to require Telnet to be checked for them to work.
		"Reboot Router" checkbox now remembered when RouterStats closes.
		More robust checking when sending e-mail before rebooting router. (Sending was sometimes
		  getting cut short when remote server was slow.
		Added "per day" radio button to max reboots counter.
		Added .cmd to permissible file extensions for script execution. Added Test button.
		Added a "System messages" Tab (with option to hide it). This Tab provides a log showing
		  RouterStats' internal "conversations" with itself. May assist future debugging.
		
		Included a new folder in the zip distribution. Currently contains a 'ready-to-run' .INI file
		  for the Draytek 2600 (Thanks to Mike for that one).



2.6d	02 Nov  Changed code to prevent invalid filename characters being entered when Date/Time formatting
		  is used as part of filename. (log and Capture).

2.6b	29 Oct  Modified x1000 scaling so only Rx Sync is scaled. (Tx Sync graph auto-adjusts the vertical axis)
		Fixed problem with Draytek routers using a blank password.

2.6a	25 Oct  Added Total Bytes Transferred to Telnet summary page.

2.6	19 Oct  Fixed bug causing telnet summary page and graphs to return incorrect values.
		
		Added "Netgear Search Text" Restore Defaults button.
		The System & Log tab was getting a bit crowded so I've given them a tab each.
		Marked text can be Time values - they won't be plotted on the graphs but will
                  appear on ther Toolbar.


2.5g	12 Oct	Added facility to use stats page souce code instead of HTML dispaly in order to 'mark'
		  search text values. Primarily, this is for use with routers which use JavaScript to display
		  their stats page.

2.5f	06 Oct	Added "Send Now" button to test e-mail facility.
		Updated Help file.

2.5e	05 Oct  Fixed bug preventing Rx sync graph plotting above 10,000

2.5d	04 Oct	Increased Rx-Sync maximum to 20,000.

2.5c	25 Sep  Added facility to show Login password in plain text to assist when having Login problems.
		Added facility to e-mail IP address if it changes (Netgear DG834(G) only).
		Optional "Mail" icon to notify when an e-mail has been sent.
		Option to open e-mail clent.

2.5b	24 Sep  Added facility to change graph drawing colour when the router doesn't respond. This will
		 allow "genuine" zero values to be distinguished from the router not responding.

2.5a	21 Sep  Fixed bug causing main window to grab focus and move in front of the configuration window.
		Fixed bug causing RouterStats to grab focus from other applications when "closed-to-systray".

		More work to the Login routines - added more error messages to assist finding login failures. 

2.5	19 Sep  Added checkboxes to overlay current Rx-Sync and Rx-Noise values to captured graphs (in addition 
                  to IP address).

		Added prompt for y-axis labels when marking user-defined graphs for "training".

		Moved telnet terminal window onto its own Telnet Tab.

		Removed default login password as this was causing confusion to first-time users.

		A few people seem to have a problem initially getting RouterStats to connect with the router so
		  I've spent some time trying to improve the login routines.

		The success of Telnet seems very variable and seems to depend on factors such as the speed of the
		computer and the ethernet hardware. There's no "handshaking" as such with Telnet so it can be difficult
		to know how the system is performing. I've taken the opportunity to try a few new techniques which
		might improve reliability.

		This is the first version which has had some limited testing with Windows Vista RC1 which seems to place
		higher demands on system hardware. I've included a few notes on using RouterStats with Vista in the
		helpfile.

2.4	10 Sep	Fixed bug causing 'Get Page' button to retrieve the wrong page!

2.3b	04 Sep	Added Telnet facility (Netgear DG834(G) only) to determine if ADSL MAX has Interleaving
		  'On' or 'Off'.

2.3a	03 Sep  Ongoing bug fix with negative Telnet Rx figure. (One occasion when a bad BT line would be
                  useful!)
		Router's Log now automatically scrolls to most recent entry.

2.3	02 Sep	Added Toolbar button to display the router's internal log. NETGEAR DG834(G) only.
		Bug Fix: Adjusted Telnet Rx Noise retrieval code to allow for router error.

2.2b	20 Aug	Added e-mail on alarm facility.

2.2a	20 Aug	Reworked code to try to correct Netgear's problem with negative dB values.

		  separators "reversed" by UK standards.
		Graphs can now be selected via menu item for adding to Log or not.
		Juggled with positions of "mark" buttons to make them correspond with graph's
		  tabs.  Upper tab and upper button = upload. Lower tab and lower button = download.


1.9	08 Jul	Fixed problem with dragging locked graphs causing system error.
		Added capture facilities to Telnet graphs. Scheduled capture is set using
		  a popup 'checkable' menu item.
		Added similar scheduled capture menu item to main graphs for compatibility and
		  convenience. This simply 'mimics' the existing checkboxes.
		Tightened some code which may improve cpu usage. Fixed bug where selected 
		  telnet graphs were being plotted even when Telnet was not selected.
