ipPulse Revision History

If you own the purchased version of ipPulse on CDROM, please note the CDKEY from the About window, then contact us for an unlock code. Please do this PRIOR to installing the latest version. We are no longer supplying a separate CDROM version.
 

ipPulse v1.70 was released on May 20, 2010. It is now tested and compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2008, 2003, and 2000. Other operating systems are not supported. Here are the changes:

Changes

All software now compiled using Visual Studio 2008. This will allow Windows 7 operation.
Moved all logfiles and the list of targets to user data location to properly support Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista and Windows 7.
Memory leak while resolving hostnames from IP addresses has been corrected.
Removed 'Raw Sockets' option for sending Ping packets.
Removed pager option. Cell phones can be notified using email instead.
Look and feel modified to conform to later software standards.
Formatting for error notifications now has a new option in addition to the old format.
Wording on status indicators now shows 'Cycle' instead of Pass to avoid confusion with PASSing tests.
Added new Error Summary that can be saved when the program is stopped or paused.
Converted installer to Inno Setup.
 

ipPulse v1.65 was released on November 15, 2005. It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

Fixed a problem with sending emails to pagers that was exceeding the 160 character limit. The message body is now blank in that mode and there are only the minimum header fields. Reference Setup/Failure Alerts/Email Setup/Send Failure Message in Subject Line.
Added an option to control the use of SNMP v1 or v2c. See Setup/Secondary Test/SNMP Setup Parameters.
Added an option to change the date/time strings shown in the Last PASS/FAIL Times columns from long localized format to short localized format. The short version is now the default. See Setup/Program Control/Appearance.
Added an option to load a target list file based on the command line. This means that ippulse.exe c:\somelistfile.txt will load the contents of that file into the target list. The file may be of the full target list format, or it can be a list of IPv4 addresses or hostnames, one per line.
Change the SNMP Results Window from a 32k character max Edit Control to an unlimited character count Rich Edit control to facilitate display of long SNMP results.
Added four new user defined OIDs.
Added 12 columns to display the first item retrieved by the user defined OIDs. The column headers are also user defined.
Added Find/Find Next to search for text within the grid.

ipPulse v1.60 was released on September 7, 2004. It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

Fixed problem resolving IPs to hostnames.
Added option to delete SMTP log file. See Setup/Failure Alerts/Setup Email.
Added support for SMTP Authorization for sending email. See Setup/Failure Alerts/Setup Email to enter username/password.
Changed help file system to support compiled html help.

ipPulse v1.53 was released on June 21, 2004 (posted July 9, 2004). It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

Fixed problem in Pager Setup/Test pager. If the first phone number was shorter than any other phone numbers, the other phone numbers were truncated to the length of the first phone number. This only affected testing a numerica pager.
Added new option to numeric pager messaging. IP addresses of alerted targets can now be sent to the pager. This is done by supporting POCSAG capable numeric pagers. Certain non-numeric characters can be sent as delimiter characters to represent the periods between the octets in an IP address: "E", "U", " ", "-", "]", and "[". If 'none' is selected no delimiter is sent.
Updated paging support with newer source code.
Added button to delete Modem Log from the Pager Setup window.
Added button to view Modem Log from main window 'View Logs' button.

ipPulse v1.52 was released on June 10, 2003. It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

Finally found source of obscure problem that made ipPulse fail when running as a service using service wrapper programs. As a result of this the minimize to taskbar tray feature has been removed for now.
To disallow DNS queries for first pass, you can set the 'Number of Passes to Attempt Resolve' to zero.
Fixed this so it really works: SNMP mibs can be added now by simply copying the mib into the MIBS directory and restarting the program.

ipPulse v1.51 was released on August 27, 2002. It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

Corrected an error appending a hangup code to the pager termination string.

ipPulse v1.50 was released on May 1, 2002. It contains the following new items, fixes and improvements over the last version:

Changes

ipPulse is now a trial version and can now be UNLOCKED. Remote Control "command" feature is not operable during the trial until purchased and unlocked.
Lowered default ping return percentage to 50% from 100%.
Modified Autosize to include the column headers.
Added ability to support dynamic dns. It can now resolve the hostname to an IP address on every pass.
Added saving and loading setup from files.
Changed IP address controls in Target List Editor.
Fully integrated SNMP resulting in greater speed.
SNMP mibs can be added now by simply copying the mib into the MIBS directory.
