Release 2.34

• On some machines the application produced an access violation when the Install Provider button was pressed.
• IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers nearly 60,000 IP
  ranges translating to more than 2.9 billion IP addresses.

Release 2.32

• Archived files not visible in the Archives folder when this folder
  has particular attributes (like not allowing indexing).
• Depending on IPSec rules, a workstation within Active Directory might face NT/Authority enforced shutdown when joining the domain.

Release 2.3

• Now, all data from overlapped connections is captured. Previously, for applications using overlapped connections the count of bytes sent
  and received was reported but some data was not captured causing a mismatch in the totals.
• Fixed, sockets from overlapped connections were not reported by AWPTA as closed when closed by the application while an overlapped
  operation was in progress.
• Fixed, some applications performing non-blocking I/O using the so-called Select Model were unable to connect. One such application
  was the Pegasus mail reader.
• Fixed, many local IPs still showing 0.0.0.0 after a connection. Note that before a connection is established or if the socket is an unbound server socket it is correct to show 0.0.0.0.
• Fixed Windows 98 compatibility issues introduced in previous releases. Tests show that now AWPTA work very well on Windows 98. It
  appears to work as well on Windows 95 with the Winsock 2 update, although we are not supporting anymore this OS.
• Fixed, access violation while grids were refreshing. This error was random in nature but more common on slow machines and under NT and Windows 9x.
• Fixed, DNS service error on Small Business Server 2003.
• The Ports Database has been update and contains more 140 records than the previous 2.2 release.
• IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers 54,500 IP ranges translating to more than 2.7 billion IP addresses.

Release 2.2

• Services not running under the Local System Account could paralyse the network services across the system, produce NT/Authority induced shutdown and other issues. This became more common under Windows XP SP2. For their own nature
  this does not apply to Windows 9x and Me machines.
• AWPTA.EXE might not launch, or take a very long time to launch and then present totally empty grids.
• Processes terminated without a proper cleanup, even for reasons unrelated to AWPTA, could lead to a network slowdown for the whole system.
• With large Log Buffers, the Index Gauge was reaching full capacity much earlier than the other gauges. The maximum number of pointers in the Index has been increased from 300,000 to 600,000.
• The Ports Database has been update and contains more 300 records than the previous 2.0x release. This includes a large quantity of recent trojans.
• IP-To-Country database has been updated and covers 220 countries and nearly 52,000 IP ranges translating to about 2.6 billion IP addresses.

Release 2.12

• Under Options/Filters/Files, selecting not to track files had no effect.

Release 2.11

• awpta.exe could cause high CPU usage under Windows 98 and Millenium edition, even when expected to be idle.

Release 2.1

• Running a Web Site on the local machine, was likely to crash Internet Information Server when .ASP pages are being served. This is a general fix and solves issues with other software, such as Zinio Delivery Manager.
• Tests have show that this release is compatible with Mcafee Personal Firewall and some releases of Mcafee Antivirus which install a Layered Service Provider. You need to install AWPTA "after" McAfee, because the LSP installed by McAfee does not respect the protocol chain and installs directly over the base protocols leaving AWPTA out of the chain.
  The solution found may solve problems with part of the software mentioned at http://www.atelierweb.com/pta.faq.htm, but at the moment we can not confirm or deny.
• Updated the Ports and Countries from IP databases.
• Users that have been updating the 2.0x Ports Database by themselves and do not want to lose the changes they have made may upgrade the 2.0x Ports Database to the 2.1 Ports Database by running the included UpPDB.exe software.

Release 2.01

• Ports Database Browse and Connection Details were not retrieving records where a range of IPs exists, i.e, End IP is different than Start IP.

Release 2.0

• AWPTA sessions can be optionally continued after the computer reboots. Previously, when the computer rebooted the Log Buffer was initialized and reset for a new AWPTA session with all data from the previous session lost.
• The Processes viewer pane, is now optionally autorefreshable. The refreshing obeys to an intelligent algorithm, although the user must propose the number of seconds for the refreshing interval as a guide.
• The LSP engine has been fully reviewed with very significant stability gains. Now, most people will keep it running full time, non-stop. Try.
• The Packets viewer grid is literally tens of times faster than in previous 1.xx releases. Even large multimegabyte data captures are displayed almost instantly - so fast is it that the Abort button, which was used in previous releases to cancel tedious data manipulation, was simply discarded.
• Captured data can be saved in raw format. This is very useful for reconstructing whatever came or was sent across the line, such as html pages, exe files or video and sound files. This works both in the Traffic and in the Archives page.
• The Ports Database has been dramatically improved and augmented. Now, it contains about 6000 records, covering more than 12000 port references, more than twice the quantity of releases 1.xx - making it, hands down, the most comprehensive Ports database in the market. The user interface is simply great! Another important aspect is that the user can edit, insert and delete database records. WYSIWYG printing is available as well.
• For any particular line on the Details viewer grids (i.e., in the Traffic and Archives pages), important supplementary information can be retrieved by right-clicking and selecting Connection Details from the popup menu. This information includes source and destination ports information, Assignment/Country IP information and IP reverse lookup.
• AWPTA includes a Countries from IP database, 99% reliable on release date. This is a very useful feature for fast assessment of where connections are going or coming from.
• Booster.exe, an AWPTA 1.xx helper application which was loaded by default on Windows 9x machines, was simply removed. Users disliked it, complained about it and kept questioning us about it. We found an alternative solution to perform the same functionality and discarded Booster. No regrets.
• From the Options menu/Filters/Processes the user can decide for a particular file whether he wants to have it shown on the Processes viewer grid, whether he wants AWPTA to track it (even if not shown in the Processes viewer pane) or whether he wants to block that file from sending and receiving data. These selections stick across sessions.
• By right-clicking on the Processes viewer grid the user can block network access or (try to) kill a given process.
• Viewer grid colors can be choosen from the Options menu. This must satisfy users with notebooks and other system where the default colors do not provide adequate contrast.
• Processes and Details grids sorting defaults can be established from the Options menu.
• You can remove columns from the grids, by right clicking on the column header and unchecking the column name. The new format will be kept when saving or printing. It is also possible to change the order of the grid columns by dragging the column headers. The new format is maintained as well when saving or printing.
• We learnt from experience that the Index Gauge was reaching full capacity earlier than the other gauges. The maximum number of pointers in the Index has increased from 200,000 to 300,000.
• Many other smaller enhancements and fixes.....

Release 1.1

• Updated the Ports database to end of January 2002.
  Official/unoffical port assignments, ports currently used by programs and ports currently used by trojans increased the ports database in more than 10%.
• AWPTA has been reviewed on the light of the last Microsoft technology improvements for Layered Service Providers.
• AWPTA now supports machines with more than one CPU.
• The install program has been renewed significantly reducing the overall distribution size.
• Included Uninstall shortcut on Start menu group.
• Booster.exe is not installed on NT-technology operating systems (it is not necessary).
• XP look-alike changes on menus.

Release 1.03

• Further tunning of the synchronizing mechanism was required.
• In some instances the location of the Log Buffer remained  undefined. On NT/200, now only Adminstrators can change the location  of the Log Buffer. This will default to the AWPTA folder, however  if unintentionally the Registry key where this information is contained is deleted it will default to the root of drive C:

Release 1.02

• Provider: Improvements on the synchronizing mechanism with clear benefits for overall speed.
• Ports Database form stays on top but is not modal anymore.
• Self-check for orphaned shortcut in Startup menu.

Release 1.01

• Shell32.dll 4.71 or later is no more a requirement.
• Other small fixes.
