[Daniel S. <dan...@ed...>]

Dear all,

today I would like to announce the new 2004.07.30 release of Iometer.

It is based on a lot of different changes - contributed by some realy
great people who put a lot of effort into new platforms, new features
as well as bug fixes.

New ports:
• NetWare on i386.
• Linux on PowerPC.
• Linux on XScale.

New features:
• Enormous code changes due to code cleanup and portability enhancements.
• An optional Linux kernel module to even more reduce the system overhead to
capture the performance statistics.
• Build in list of standard Access Specifications to select from.
• Scrolling Access Specification list – in case the list is longer then the
visible space
on the screen.

Bug fixes:
• All: Corrected the rounding of detected CPU frequencies.
• Linux: Improved the block size detection of devices.
• Linux: Statistics can now be gathered for 2.6 kernels as well.
• Linux: More robust gathering of network statistics – even if the hostname is
not setup properly.
• Windows: Fixed the background capability of Iometer itself.
• Windows: Updated the Iometer Import Wizard to work with newer versions of MS
Access and MS Excel.

Others:
• All: Changed the dynamo command line options in terms of mandatory switches.
• Windows: Introduced a Installer for the Windows binaries/documentation/wizard.

For a complete list of all enhancements and bug fixes since the
previous version, please have a look into the CHANGELOG file.

Enjoy
Daniel
