 Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:30 am Post subject: [INFO] Weathermap 0.95b released |
 |
|
Update 2: After 50 or so of you downloaded it, and didn't report any new issues, here's 0.95b.
Update: After a few days of deeper testing and changes, here's 0.95a. Thanks to fmangeant and diggit2001 for their help with the issues. I'm working on some improved standards for testing.
There's a huge change list for this one, but it's mostly smaller things. Download from the usual place.
Here's the less-easy-to-read version of the change log:
| Code: |
0.95b FIXED - SQL schema issue that upset some mysql versions
FIXED - Removed sometime-problem debugging code in editor
FIXED - incorrect jquery path in cacti-picker
FIXED - INFOURL not used without overlib
FIXED - 'none' colours on LINKs were broken by typo.
FIXED - NOTES, INNOTES, OUTNOTES all just flat-out borken in 0.95 and 0.95a
FIXED - Page title can be incorrect if filehash starts with a digit.
FIXED - Cacti plugin behaves a little better with auth disabled.
0.95a FIXED - problem with global map variables. Oops.
FIXED - few deprecated function references.
FIXED - couple of tiny docs errors.
FIXED - bug where INFOURL without OVERLIBGRAPH would be ignored
CHANGE - Added in a SCALE line in the DEFAULT scale for between 0 and 1. Stops a lot of warnings on
low-traffic links.
CHANGE - Tweaked node cloning in editor - clone is offset in x and y now.
0.95 KNOWN ISSUE - ININFOURL/OUTINFOURL, INOVERLIBGRAPH/OUTOVERLIBGRAPH are not handled well by the editor. If you edit a map that uses these,
then the 'in' side of the link will be copied to the 'out' side. New editor will handle this better.
ADDED - You can add a 'tag' to a SCALE line, to be used in ICON or LABELs later.
ADDED - USEICONSCALE - colorize icon images (based on patches from llow)
ADDED - screenshot mode. "SET screenshot_mode 1" at the top of the map will anonymise all labels, comments and bwlabels.
ADDED - LABELFONTCOLOR can use a special value of 'contrast' to always contrast with the label colour.
ADED - Artificial Icons. Special icon 'filenames' - 'box' 'round' 'rbox' create a shaped icon without any file.
ADDED - Map titles show up in browser title now.
ADDED - a basic 'live view' function which generates a map on demand. Sometimes. It's not very useful.
ADDED - LABELANGLE allows you to rotate node labels to 90,180,270 degrees. Needs truetype font.
ADDED - improved data-source picker in editor: host filter
ADDED - improved data-source picker in editor: option to aggregate data sources
ADDED - Moved data-source picker changes across into the graph-picker for NODEs too.
ADDED - SPLITPOS keyword to control position of midpoint in links
ADDED - VIAs can be positioned relative to NODEs (like NODEs can) (thanks again to llow)
ADDED - Weathermap has a hook in the map viewing page to allow other plugins to add code there
ADDED - .htaccess files bundled with Weathermap to restrict direct access to configs and output
ADDED - filenames for output are much less guessable now (may break external references to maps)
ADDED - You can use 'DUPLEX half' on a link to make the bandwidth percentage
calculate work for half-duplex links
ADDED - ININFOURL/OUTINFOURL, INOVERLIBGRAPH/OUTOVERLIBGRAPH, INNOTES/OUTNOTES
allow you to have different urls for the in and out side of links (based on idea from llow)
ADDED - OVERLIBGRAPH (and IN/OUT versions) can take multiple URLs separated by spaces (again from idea by llow)
ADDED - debug/warning log output contains the map name, and the debug output is marked DEBUG
ADDED - debug log output contains the calling function, file/line number, too. Making debugging-by-mail easier.
ADDED - fping: TARGET to do live pings of devices. See targets.html
ADDED - a sample 'skeleton' DS plugin
ADDED - an additional check-gdbug.php to spot bad GD installs
ADDED - MRTG DS plugin can do a few new tricks. See TARGET and targets.html
CHANGE - DS plugins are able to return negative results now ***breaks user-developed DS plugins***
CHANGE - the scale: prefix for the RRD DS plugin can take negative scale factors
CHANGE - (internal) plugins are each created as a single object now. Result: the plugin can cache results internally.
CHANGE - (internal) broke out some of the larger classes (node, link) into separate files.
FIXED - KEYOUTLINECOLOR is actually used now (thanks to llow once more)
FIXED - Editor doesn't throw away WIDTH and HEIGHT with no BG image
FIXED - Cacti Data-source and Graph picker doesn't restrict scrolling or resizing anymore
FIXED - weathermap-cacti-rebuild.php to work on both Cacti 0.8.6 and 0.8.7
FIXED - weathermap-cacti-rebuild.php to flat-out fail if Cacti environment is wrong.
FIXED - SNMP DS plugin had a typo that stopped it working at all (and no-one
noticed for almost a year :-) ). (thanks to Fratissier Christophe for pointing it out)
FIXED - Added some better controls into SNMP DS plugin. You can correctly pull
interface oper/admin status, for example, now.

Ugh. This release is not the pinnacle of my quality control 
Here's a test 0.95b release. If I don't hear any new issues with this one, I'll call it a proper release, and update the site so that Update will pick it up and so on. I believe it fixes all the reported issues, plus a couple I found myself this morning while building new maps. |
