SnapStream PVS beta 2a released
Beta 2a is now released. It fixes a number of major bugs in Beta 2 (which wasn't officially announced but was posted for download).
The following changes have been made since Beta 1.
======================================
Beta 2a Release notes - 7/1/2000
==================
- Fixed a major memory leak in the SendQueue routine.
- Using "Host:" HTTP header to generate the ASX. Solves a problem with multihomed machines (assuming they are using a browser that passes the "Host:" header).
- Fixed a crash bug inside shows.expire.
- Fixed a crash bug with browsers that didn't use "Host:" header.
- Rewrote the TCP send loop to work around unreliable event handler.
- The country setting is now saved...however, the PVS does not use this information for anything as of yet.
- Worked around a compiler issue that was causing the release build to crash intermittently. This was a pretty nasty bug. We're avoiding using this type of statement in the code now.
- Added some new graphics to some pages.
Beta 2 Release notes - 6/27/2000
==================
- ASF handler is an object
- Regenerates show data from files. More metadat will be handled here in the future.
- Simplified and improved random access stream seeking (it's a bit faster)
- Created an event object to pace thread startup - may fix a startup race condition
- File indexing is handled internally
- Troubleshot a problem with the TCP send - blocking events are not being signaled properly by Windows. Reverted to a simple continuous retry loop for the moment.
- Removed bogus file size display from the Insert Show screen
- Time remaining during a recording is now more accurate.
- The installer was not creating empty directories where the PVS was trying to store files. Placeholder files have been created there to force directory creation during the install.
