New features and fixed problems in version 5.1 (Released 25-NOV-2010) =========================================================================== * Improved error message when plugin DLL can't be loaded. * Fixed case 5530 where the bus status wasn't always reported correctly. * Fixed a timestamp jump that could happen at certain conditions. * Individual window's saving of the channel combo bxo should now work. * Timed transmission: Message rate now changes automatically when the gui is updated (earlier it was necessary to stop and restart the transmission) * History list: Fixed case 5472 where the history list wasn't properly loaded from file. * Fixed case 5200 where the bus status wasn't properly reflected in the LED indicators. * Log To File now remembers its file name and reacts to "Start Running" and "Stop Running". * Fixed case 942 - timestamps are now unsigned to prevent problem with time stamps going backwards.

New features and fixed problems in version 5.0 (Released 6-JUN-2009) =========================================================================== * The "universal page" dialog (used to send an arbitrary CAN message) now allows for selecting the CAN channel. * The CAN controller window now has a button that will set the same parameters in all other CAN windows too. * Fixed bug when displaying the sampling point - when the channel was on bus there was a one-off error in the calculations. * Included a four-channel template analogous to the two-channel template. * The history window now takes the global hexadecimal/decimal preference into account when displaying its data. * Improved error message when selecting both exclusive and "no init" mode for a CAN channel. * Fixed bug where the filters for messages with 29-bit CAN identifiers didn't work as expected. * CAN Controller window: o Added error counters display & various other tweaks. o If "no init" mode is selected, read and display the prevailing bus parameters. * This release REQUIRES CANLIB 3.9. * This is a major new release. The internals have undergone a large restructuring which hopefully will result in a program with much better performance. * Much old stuff of questionable value has been removed. If your favorite feature is missing, please don't hesitate to tell us. * The DLL formatter is now included, see Samples\formatter_dll * The simple J1939 identifier formatter is back, on popular demand. * The Traffic generator has an autostart option. * Fixed problem where Clear in Output window raised an exception. Support for mouse wheel. Default setting for max number of lines now 8k instead of 4k. * Timed transmission: Fixed problem wher repeated sending of messages from the history list took one "tick" too long every loop; plus other tweaks. * Save as Template now works and is no longer a hidden option. User's templates are now stored in the user's application data directory and showed on a special tab, "My Templates" * History list now shows dec/hex depending on global setting. Support for W(akeup), E(rror), and N(err) message flags. * CAN Controller window. o option for "no init access". o If "no init" mode is selected, the bus parameter selection part is disabled. o Repaired Clear button. o Added Tx in addition to the Rx counters for CAN messages. o Display bit rates as bps, not kpbs, to avoid issues with the decimal separator; and same for the SJW. o The filters now work again (compared to earlier 5.x betas). o If the CAN interface doesn't support silent mode, force driver mode to normal. o If CAN bus transmissions fail, a message is now written to the system text window. * Added generic text window for system messages. * General face lift. Application is now properly "themed." * Numerous small bugs have been fixed. * Application has been tested on Windows Vista without issues. * Again, CANLIB 3.9 is now REQUIRED.
