InterMapper 4.1 Release Notes

The following changes are incorporated in InterMapper 4.1.3:

InterMapper® 4.1.3 - 12 January 2004

  • [RELEASE] Final release.
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug which prevented external probe files with newer version numbers from being loaded/preferred over the built-in version. (17630)

InterMapper Remote™ 4.1.3 - 12 January 2004

  • [RELEASE] Final release. No changes from 4.1.3b3.

InterMapper® 4.1.3b3 - 7 January 2004

  • [LATERAL] Change copyrights to 2004.
  • [BUG FIX] Made probe popup in router info dialog wide enough for all probe names. (17249)
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug preventing change of email notifier text in traditional. (17521, 17527)
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed two bugs, one an ASSERT failure occurring if a map with custom icons from 4.1.1 or before is opened in 4.1.2 or later due to the change in the "set name" for icons at the main level of the Custom Icons directory, and one a related problem if the directory represented by a set name no longer exists or has been renamed. In the first case, it should now display the correct icon, in addition to not crashing, and in the second, it should now fail gracefully and show a question mark icon rather than crashing. (17269, 16635).
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed crash in command-line notifiers on SPARC due to byte alignment issue peculiar to SPARC.
  • [BUG FIX] In IM Traditional, dragging the mouse around in a menu (either from the menu bar, popup menus, or contextual menus) no longer interrupts polling. (However, selecting a menu from a popup control is unchanged.) MacOS calls affected are MenuSelect, PopUpMenuSelect and ContextualMenuSelect. (17064)
  • [BUG FIX] IM Traditional now double-checks that a window's height is less than the height of the tallest screen, for windows without zoom boxes, to guarantee that dialogs can always be resized on Mac OS X. (17317)
  • [BUG FIX] Silenced the CBootpRouter::ParsePacket - invalid packet id messages in the Debug log.
  • [BUG FIX] Improved support in Custom SNMP probes for unknown SNMP type values. (17059)
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug which prevented background vertices from drawing correctly when portions are transparent. (15964)
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug in IM Server which prevented chart data from being exported properly. (17522)
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug in the Demo Probe which caused InterMapper to insert /0 subnets. (17622, 17620)
  • [BUG FIX] Updated the XServe probe to support Panther. (16729, 17271)
  • [BUG FIX] Don't display plain text popup windows when option key is held down. (17607)

Fixed some cases where a FSSpec structure was filled in manually, and double-checked file names for temporary files.
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug in the Mac OS X command-line installer where directory ownership permissions were wrong on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3.
  • [BUG FIX] Fixed bug where two different command-line probes to the same address and port and using the same probe file (such as Nagios Template) could believe they were the same probe and give the same results, even if the command lines supplied were different.
  • [BUG FIX] Setting an individual device's polling interval to "no polling" now works correctly, rather than setting it to "1 second".

InterMapper Remote™ 4.1.3b2 - 22 Dec 2003

  • [BUG FIX] Fixed a bug in InterMapper Traditional caused by opening a regular window behind a visible modal and floating window, but also behind an invisible floating window.
  • [BUG FIX] Rebuilt ssl and crypto libraries on Solaris to use sparcv8 instead of sparcv9 option. intermapperd and intermapperauthd now pass 'appcert'.
