Release notes for DTraq v1.100.  Changes since last public release.

DTraq v1.100 changes since 1.000
================================

- Convert source licensing from GMGPL to GPL, with exception of tap code
linked into clients.

- Replace GNAT.Sockets usage in DTraq.Tap client with AdaSockets to retain
GMGPL licensing.

DTraq v1.000 changes since 0.986a
=================================

Numerous changes and additions.  Just the major items of note are
presented here:

- No more code generation and associated compilation to build a logging
server.  The logging server now uses an XML formatted configuration file to
recognize and process tapped data items.

- The command line driven "mkdtq" has been replaced with dtq-analyze,
providing a GUI-driven interface for source code scanning and generation of
the aforementioned configuration file.

- All the DTraq applications are now prefixed with "dtq": dtq-analyze,
dtq-vdt, and dtq-dv.

- Data transfer between tapped clients and the logging server has been
changed from a stream-based model to one of simply sending tapped data
items' bytes through a socket.  The result has been a significant
throughput increase, and, in conjunction with the use of configuration
files instead of code generation, a much simpler implementation.

- The data viewer can now be started independently of the logging server,
and the location of the logging server can then be interactively specified.
In addition, the data viewer can switch from one logging server to another.

- The need for temporary working directories has been reduced, and the
remaining use has been streamlined to reduce the chance of inconsistency
errors.


DTraq v0.986a changes since 0.986
=================================

- Reverted the DTraq.Tap tap ID type back to the standard Positive
type.

- Added a Data Item Reviewing capability to live data monitoring to
permit quick reviewing of recently logged and displayed data items.
This eliminates the need to stow the current logfile, suspend logging,
and go into playback mode to just look at a recently received item.

- Cleaned up version handling.

DTraq v0.986 changes since 0.985
================================

- Improved the handling of data tap Suspension, particularly in
situations where tapped data is being received sporadically.

- Reduced the amount of informative messages being generated by the
client tap software so as not to detract from the application's
text output.

DTraq v0.985 changes since 0.981
================================

- Minor bug fixes.

- Allowed specification of "~" (user's home directory) when entering
a file path.

- Reorganization of internal data collection and conversion to text
to better support other sources of input data.  (This reorganziation,
while significant, should be transparent to the user.)

Updated 22 Sep 2004

DTraq 0.981 changes since 0.980
===============================
- Fixed bug that allowed attempting to print from a Data Item Display
window while recording data.

- Update logging server (vdt) 'usage' display to reflect the presence
of the data collector front-end architecture and how it interacts with
command line options.

Updated 9 Mar 2004

DTraq 0.980 changes since 0.970
===============================
- Massive GUI redesign and streamlining of operation.

- Corrected TCP/IP socket packet segmentation problem.

DTraq v0.970
============

- Transitioned from an older version of Samuel Tardieu's AdaSockets
collection to GNAT.Sockets.  The purpose was simply to ease porting to
other platforms--AdaSockets did the job well, and was instrumental in
DTraq's early development.

- Additional porting-enhancement modifications.

- Added ability to view a data item's raw bytes in the GUI and when
printing to a file.

- Minor bug fixes.

- Removed the User Manual from the source distribution.

Updated: 30 Sep 2003


DTraq v0.960
============

- Initial public release of DTraq for GNAT 3.15p on Linux. (18 Aug 2003)

- The DTraq GUI has a GTK 1.2 style, although it uses version 2.2 of GTK
and GTK-Ada.  Initial DTraq development was done with GTK 1.2, and a full
rework of the GUI to exploit GTK 2.2 capabilities is in work.

- DTraq's employment of ASIS permits it to work with only the identical
version of the GNAT compiler that was used to compile it.
