We are pleased to announce the 1st update release of
OpenSTA version 1.0.
 
This release contains many bug fixes and improvements.
It is available both as a Microsoft Windows Installable
from:
  http://opensta.org/download.html
and as the full source package from:
  http://opensta.sourceforge.net/download.html

The fixes in this release include:
* Improved Dialog entry for NT performance monitoring
  and SNMP data collection profiles.
* Query descriptions for NT Performance monitor and SNMP
  queries with profiles are now checked for uniqueness.
* Dialog to add extra SNMP categories.
* Monitoring now include script iteration number.
* Units added to graph axis labels.
* Ability to filter on timers in timer/eapsed time graph
  graph.
* The user configurable logging level now affects timer
  values as well as HTTP stsatistics.
* Default memory usage for Test Executors reduced.
* Default .ini file for TestExecutor shipped in
  installation.
* Change in file variable handling to match documentation.

Improvements and tidy ups have also been made to the
source archive and build mechanism, although these should
not affect the functionality of the toolset.

There are still some known issues in running OpenSTA on
an SMP machine.  These have been tracked down to threading
problems in Microsofts libraries.  In order to avoid these
issue we have been experimenting building against
altenative libraries.  In order to test these trials a
seperate installable of this release is being made
available for test purposes and those having problems on
SMP machines.  This can be found at:
  http://opensta.org/binaries/tests/ostaw32-x86-1001-smp.msi
If you use this experimental installation please report
your results to the OpenSTA users mailing list.

Any problems with the product toolset should, as usual, be
reported at:
  http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=10857
 
Thank you,
