Hello Sniffer Folks, ---- MDaemon Plugin Rework Begins ----
The next item up on the development schedule is an alpha version of the next MDaemon plugin, followed shortly by versions for other platforms that use Winx DLLs. Given the improvements in the new engine this is a great time to make design and feature changes to the MDaemon plugin and we would very much like your input! Specifically - what features can we drop in order to reduce complexity, what features do you definitely want to see remain, and what features would you like to see added. If you'd like to add your thoughts during this design phase please send a note to support@ so we can begin a dialogue. We're looking forward to your input! ---- SNF2-9a29 Command Line Alpha ---- For folks that are using a command line version of SNF on a Windows platform and are adventurous enough to work with stable alpha-grade software, we have a drop-in replacement available. In our book - "alpha" means that the software is incomplete (lacking some features), some features may change, and some bugs may be intentionally not-yet-fixed. In this case, the SNF2-9a29 command line client & server have been stable under production loads on our test servers for some time and have performed equally well on other participating systems. There are no known outstanding bugs. The primary limitation is that the log file is only available in a single-line-per-message format. Caution - While the new version is drop-in compatible with the current production version, there are a number of changes to how the software is configured and some new features that must be considered. Put another way, this is not the kind of exercise that you will finish in a few seconds and then walk away ;-) That said - there are plenty of performance benefits to explore and your input and assistance are welcome if you have the time and opportunity to test the new engine! Let us know by sending a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- Status ---- The SNF_SYNC server has been sufficiently completed to provide basic services for the new SNF nodes so we are moving to the next phase of development for the next version of SNF. To that end, we are opening up alpha testing opportunities to a wider audience, and we will be closely monitoring the entire system as we add new active nodes to the "cloud". The goals of this wider testing is to refine the default settings for the new features and to better understand the real-world performance of the new system under real-world conditions. In the lab and our limited testing so far the new components have met and at times fare exceeded expectations ;-) If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us either through our support@ address or on this list.
