WATCHER V2.1-7, 04-MAY-1990 ** NOTE ** * If you are upgrading to WATCHER V2.1 from WATCHER V2.0 (field test release), * YOU MUST rebuild your WATCHER configuration files! ********** ** NOTE ** * If you are upgrading to WATCHER V2.1 from WATCHER V1.x, MAKE SURE you * DEASSIGN any old WATCHER logicals before starting up the new version. ********** BUG FIXES AND UPDATES --------------------- WATCHER V2.1-7, 05-MAY-1990 * Fixed bug in WCP SHOW WATCH command which caused ACCVIO's. WATCHER V2.1-6, 27-APR-1990 * Fixed bug where device names on systems with no SCSNODE were getting prefixed with dollar signs. WATCHER V2.1-5, 20-APR-1990 * Corrected documentation error and error in WATCHER_STARTUP.COM: SHARE privilege is required for sending warning messages to other users' terminals. WATCHER V2.1-4, 16-APR-1990 * Fixed bug introduced by identifier-check bugfix. WATCHER V2.1-3, 12-APR-1990 * Fixed bug in identifier checks. * Fixed anomaly in WCP commands so DEFINE EXCLUDE and DEFINE OVERRIDE now work more like DEFINE WATCH. WATCHER V2.1, 11-APR-1990 * Added minimum-activity thresholds on WATCH criteria. A measurement must exceed the threshold to be considered active (default is 0). This was added to improve compatibility with some TELNET implementations. * Fixed bug in WCP SHOW EVENT_LOG command. WATCHER V2.0, 23-MAR-1990 * All code completely rewritten in BLISS. * New WATCHER Control Program (WCP) replaces WCFG program. Expanded command interface, supports command files, can control some WATCHER functions. * WATCHER configuration can now be reloaded "on the fly". * Override rules now included. Same basic idea as exclusion records, but instead of excluding a user from being watched, they instead modify the watch rules applied to the user (measurements, logout interval, etc.). * Configurations are now easier to debug; WATCHER includes code for dumping trace information to any file or device so you can see what it's doing. * The support for terminal server port names has been generalized, so port names are now supported for any terminal driver that provides them. * Watch rules can be grouped so that activity on one terminal in a group counts as activity for all terminals in the group. This was added mainly to improve support on workstations running VWS. * DECwindows support added. It's not as complete (no warning messages), but it works, at least under VMS V5.1-V5.3. * The hack for dealing with VWS help windows has been removed, due to its extreme kludginess.
