Folks:
InterMapper and InterMapper Remote 4.0.2 are now available. The changes are
listed in the release notes below.
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL USERS OF VERSIONS 4.0 AND 4.0.1 UPGRADE TO 4.0.2 AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. There was an error in coding schedules, and notifications may be
sent (or suppressed) at the wrong times. All users should upgrade to version
4.0.2 and then check each notifier schedule.
Additional major changes include:
* RedHat, Mandrake, and YellowDog Linux versions are now available.
* Support for an unlimited number of OIDs in custom SNMP probes.
* Custom SNMP probes can now handle OIDs of type "TimeTicks"
* Numeric Paging.
* InterMapper Remote now supports a Find command that searches the visible
labels of a map.
* There are preferences for saving maps automatically when quitting and for
creating an alias in the Startup Items.
* Printing large maps will now span multiple pages of paper.
* Cmd-shift-I (Ctl-shift-i) will open the popup status window for the selected
device. There's also a "Status window" command in the control/right click
contextual menu.
* Many bug fixes and minor enhancements.

============= Release Notes ==================
InterMapper (R)4.0.2 - 5 March 2003
[BUGFIX] IMPORTANT BUG FIX: If you used Versions 4.0 or 4.0.1, you must open
each Notifier Schedule and check the grid of hours to be sure they are correct.
There was a bug in earlier versions that misinterpreted the actual times you
specified in the schedule grid.
[FEATURE] The APC UPS SNMP probe now puts a device in warning if it detects that
the battery needs to be replaced.
[FEATURE] InterMapper supports probe files written in the "cross-platform" style
of IMML (ie using a backslash).
[FEATURE] It is now possible to limit the number of rows reported by the
${PreviousOutages} macro on the web page; use the "maxrows=nn" or "hours=nn"
attributes.
InterMapper Remote TM4.0.2 Build 33051, 5 March 2003
[LATERAL] Closing the Server Settings window now results in a confirmation
dialog if there are outstanding changes.
[BUGFIX] Maps that are too large to be printed on a single page should now print
across several pages.
[BUGFIX] Fixed a NullPointerException caused by the Add Device dialog on OS X.
[BUGFIX] Fixed some minor graphical glitches in the Notifier Schedule pane.
[BUGFIX] Fixed a bug that caused tear-off status windows to sometimes not
repaint correctly if the popup status window was also opened.
[BUGFIX] Fixed a bug introduced in the last beta that could cause a user/group
to be deleted when its label changed.
InterMapper (R)4.0.2b2 - 25 February 2003
[FEATURE] Added support for a preference to automatically save maps before
quitting (without asking the user).
[FEATURE] Added support for the KC_reloadProbes command from IM Remote.
[FEATURE] Added support for breaking a custom SNMP probe into multiple SNMP
requests (use "maxvars").
[BUG FIX] Fixed a bug which caused UP notifications to be sent even after the
original DOWN notification was blocked due to shadowing.
[BUG FIX] Fixed a bug which caused InterMapper Trad. to display an alert when a
remote user failed to open a map file.
[BUG FIX] It is now possible for writers of custom SNMP probes to turn off the
querying of APC UPS MIB's (use "apcups").
[BUG FIX] APC UPS MIB information is now cleared when a new poll is forced on an
SNMP probe.
[BUG FIX] IM Remote Server will now send the proper "unrecognized" response when
it receives an unrecognized KC event.
[BUG FIX] Custom SNMP probes now recognize values whose syntax is "TimeTicks".
[BUG FIX] Made improvements to the text of the "demo expired" window and the
"you must now quit" alert.
[BUG FIX] Escape label formats when sending to Console/Remote.
[BUG FIX] Change handle creation in XBundle when SetResLoad is set to false so
that handles are still useful for getting resource info.
[BUG FIX] A side effect of the previous entry is that the sound set lists now
include the default sounds correctly.
[BUG FIX] Changed "tickcount" method in Windows to use performance counters, to
avoid count wrapping after 49.7 days and causing asserts to fail.
[BUG FIX] Probe files with DOS/Window-style end-of-lines no longer cause extra
lines in descriptions or output.
[BUG FIX] Disallow creation of new user or new group with a blank name.
InterMapper Remote TM4.0.2b2 Build 32251 - 25 Feb 2003
[FEATURE] "Reload Probes" option added to end of probe list. This is a noop for
servers < 4.0.2.
[LATERAL] "Map Files" Server Settings pane is now "Enabled Maps"
[BUGFIX] Add Device and Set Probe dialogs should not 'flicker' and should be
better positioned when shown.
[BUGFIX] PLUS key should work correctly in map windows again. It was broken in
the b1 release.
[BUGFIX] Styled text variables are now resolved in a different order. This only
affects the About box and the yellow Notice window. An example manifestation of
this bug is that the name associated with an NFR serial number would be blank in
the Notice window.
[BUGFIX] Although user names should NEVER be empty, we can now handle such a
case.
[BUGFIX] The buttons in the MapColorsPane no longer take up the whole of the
pane space. This means that clicking anywhere in the pane will no longer bring
up the ColorChooser window. Instead, the color swatch must be clicked.
[BUGFIX] Empty names are no longer allowed for Users or Groups.
[BUGFIX] Users and Groups should remain sorted when a name changes.
InterMapper (R)4.0.2b1 - 19 February 2003
[FEATURE] Numeric Paging. User can now specify a paging service with no phone
number. Subscriber's pager ID will be used as number instead for numeric paging.
[FEATURE] User can now create a log file named "Paging" to receive all paging
traffic, debugging messages, and errors.
[FEATURE] There is now an RPM release for Red Hat Linux.
[BUG FIX] Improved processing of command-line arguments.
[BUG FIX] Compiled the Linux build with a flag to support symbolic backtraces
for debugging.
[BUG FIX] Changed the default location of the InterMapper Settings folder on
Unix system. When left unspecified in the configuration file, the directory
"InterMapper_Settings" is now created in the home directory of the effective
user.
[BUG FIX] Fixed a bug in the server which allowed IMConsole/Remote to remove the
default "Event Log".
[BUG FIX] Added support for new properties: networklabels.descriptions,
devicelabels.descriptions, messagelabels.descriptions.
[BUG FIX] Fixed an infinite loop bug in Linux build of 'intermapperauthd'.
[BUG FIX] Fixed an ASSERT bug in XTickCount_Unix.cp on Unix systems.
[BUG FIX] Fixed an email text wrapping bug. When wrapping email messages set by
IMRemote or IMConsole, support NL as well as CR.
[BUG FIX] Fixed double-escape bug in links to offsite maps in the web server.
[BUG FIX] Fix byte-order issues with probe type equiv. classes.
InterMapper Remote TM4.0.2b1 Build 32191 - Release Notes, 19 Feb 2003
[FEATURE] Added Find menu item that will find a node on the current map whose
label contains the specified text.
[FEATURE] Added Open Status Window to context menu for nodes as well as
user-defined links.
[FEATURE] Cmd-Shift-I (Ctrl-Shift-I on non-Macs) will now display the status
window for the selected node. Note: if zero or more than one node is selected,
this is a noop.
[LATERAL] A warning is now shown for all panes in the Server Settings window
that cause immediate updates (the Cancel/OK buttons were already hidden- now
there is an italic label in their place).
[LATERAL] Title of the Set Probe window is now set to the name of the Device, if
only one Device is selected.
[BUGFIX] Fixed the schedule bitmap for notifiers. ALL NOTIFIERS SHOULD HAVE
THEIR SCHEDULES CHECKED WITH THIS VERSION!
[BUGFIX] Fixed a crashing bug that would cause the application to crash on
systems that had regional settings set to a non-US country and English language
(for example, English (Canada) on WinXP).
[BUGFIX] Fixed a bug that caused tiny (extra) poll intervals (>30 seconds) to
select 'No Polling' in the poll interval combo box.
[BUGFIX] Exported maps should be output directly to the chosen destination file
instead of to a temporary file and then renamed to the destination.
[BUGFIX] You cannot even attempt to remove real links now. Only user-defined
links may be removed.
[BUGFIX] Undo for a shape change back to a wire, now resizes the wire to the
previous size.
[BUGFIX] Fixed a bug that could cause Icons to not paint their label correctly.
[BUGFIX] Browser fix- Unix systems will now attempt to launch "mozilla", then
"netscape", then fail.
[BUGFIX] Node-dragging rectangle should not appear if not editing.
