• It is now possible to disable IPv6 support within InterMapper server using a command-line argument (--no-ipv6) or a configuration file option (IPv6 false).

• The --listen command-line argument is now honored in InterMapper server. It only supports IPv4 addresses and implicitly disables IPv6 support.
• InterMapper now starts faster with large Chart Data folders.
• IPv6 addresses are bracketed when passed to Helper Apps.
• InterMapper Database: Greatly reduced processor and memory usage when an import is in progress.
• Many other minor fixes.

InterMapper 5.0 brings a host of new features, including:

1. IPv6 Support: InterMapper 5.0 tests devices that have IPv6 addresses, and
   supports IPv6 client connections. You can test devices with IPv6 addresses
   using Pings, TCP- and UDP-based probes, and IPv6-based DNS queries.
2. InterMapper Database Technology Preview: InterMapper 5.0 can collect data
   from networked devices, inserting it into a SQL database. You can write your
   own SQL queries, based on various Crystal Reports and sample reports.
   Note: We have chosen to label the InterMapper Database as "technology
   preview" because it is stable, but not ready for production use. We have
   tested it enough to believe that the fundamentals all work. However, a great
   deal more testing is required before we can claim that it meets our
   standards for a final product, and there are a number of optimizations yet
   to be implemented.
3. Enhanced Nagios Plug-in support: InterMapper has long supported
   command-line probes and has supplied a template specific to Nagios plugins.
   In Version 5.0, there is a new Nagios Plugin probe
   (Miscellaneous/Nagios/Nagios Plugin in the Set Probe... window) that
   displays the plugin's output string and makes chartable values for all the
   performance data ("perfdata").
4. Folders in the Map List: You can now organize your maps into folders,
   reducing clutter for those who have lots of maps.
5. Ack Filtering in List views: There are two new buttons (at the top right
   of the window) that hide or show devices that have been acknowledged. This
   will make it easier to spot new trouble areas.
6. Server-wide find on DNS name, IP address, label or IMID: The "Find
   Devices..." menu item allows you to search either a map or the entire
   InterMapper Server for a given DNS name, IP address, label or IMID.
   Searching by IMID can be helpful for relating a device in InterMapper
   Database to a device on the map.
7. Server Discovery Preference: InterMapper RemoteAccess now implements a
   preference allowing you to turn off server discovery, so that the only
   servers which appear in the Map List window are those servers you have added
   yourself.

As always, thanks for your interest and enthusiasm for InterMapper.
