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.

Thanks!

_M
