PM Patrol History Log ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known bugs ---------- Theseus reports free swapper frames larger than the actual size of the swapper file itself on machines with more than 16MB of RAM installed. Awaiting the CSD for OS/2 2.1 GA to potentially address this issue. Certain font "Styles" are not remembered. This is work in process (WIP). Version 2.03 ------------ Closing the Process Status window now destroys the window thus freeing OS/2 resources for the Process Status function (@ 64K). 2.02 would only "hide" the window. There are no visable effects with this change. The PM Patrol "Settings" pull-down menu now supports the ability to set the desired foreground and background colors by selecting RGB colors from a set of scroll bars. The new menu item can be found under "Colors". Colors selected for the foreground and background of the PM Patrol main status line now propogate themselves into the other PM Patrol windows containing listbox items. "System Info" PM Color descriptions now match those in the OS/2 Scheme Palette. This makes it easier to match-up. Fixed bug in Shared Memory navigation. Eroneous data was being picked-up. Made installation script more fool proof. Version 2.02 ------------ Starting with this version, PM Patrol is primarily supported via the CompuServe "OS2BVEN" shareware forum. Set initial fonts for VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolutions defaulting to XGA for undefined video resolutions. Support for "Fixed space only" font selection within the Process Status window Process Status no longer starts up in "Auto Refresh" mode. This should be selected by the user in "Actions" under the Process Status screen. Fixed some window realignments caused by differences between VGA, XGA, and SVGA Show session type in Process Load window Removed "Application Time" from Process Load as thiss is only relative to the threads within an application. The application time can be viewed by selecting a thread to monitor under the "View" options. Thread Status now displays the priority class mnumonic name along with the priority level within the priority class The Process Status data collection facility within PM Patrol now runs at idle time for better preformance Version 2.01 ------------ Process Status now allows you to kill a PID while monitoring the PID's threads Fixed some minor bugs in Process Status dialog Allow Process Status refresh rate to be dynamic when changing the frequency of refresh in the "Configuration" dialog Allow minimize, but not maximize, of the main PM Patrol Status line. Refer to the online help for how to move the status line Version 2.00 ------------ Moved "Process Info" from "System" menu to "Utility" menu Added "Process Info" functionality - be careful what PIDs you kill. This function has many nice features including viewing and killing ill behaved PIDs, viewing thread info, viewing semaphore info, viewing module info, and finally shared memory info. Additionally, this function allows you to monitor the System CPU and Application CPU time per thread - a huge advantage. This makes PM Patrol a real-time system wide "Profiler". Added "File Mask" for "Drive Info" detail. This allows you to review drive details for files matching a given name pattern. Right justified "Drive Info" detail file counts and related information Fixed bug in "Save As..." processing Compile options for i486 and Pentium optimizations (i386 not effected) Fixed a couple of potential memory leaks From this version forward, no longer does the PM Patrol settings get re-initialized upon new versions except when the profile data structure changes only Added a "Configuration" menu item under "Settings" for "Refresh Rates", "Startup" options, and "Other" items. Version 1.30 ------------ Moved "System Info" and "Drive Info" dialog buttons up to menu bar under the "View" option The "Drives" mini dialog now positions itself at the current mouse pointer x,y position and displays locality and file system type Added "Drive Info" detail option. This is in addition to the existing "Summary" option in 1.20 Version 1.20 ------------ Added font dialog Added several "Drives" options to "Options" menu item Added right button menu popup Added "System Info" feature for viewing/printing OS/2 info, PM info, hardware info, and color info Added ability to print, "Save as...", or copy to clipboard for all information list boxes and their respective information Further integraded and stabalized code. Changed Min/Max buttons to bitmap buttons Added ability to select mouse size for VGA systems Added OS/2 SysLevel to "System" menu item Added PMChkDsk, drive summary, monitor, and PMFormat to "Drives" menu Added more help Free disk space is displayed as KB when less than 1 MB Version 1.10 ------------ Added Advanced Power Mgmt for mobile computers Moved several buttons from the Options dialog to menu bar Provided perfect default positioning of status window to fit any size display Added ability to "Suspend" PM Patrol monitoring Added ability to capture to the clipbaord PM Patrol monitoring data Changed pointer to downward pointing arrow Refined CPU load monitor Restore all windows when shutdown is performed so folder states are remembered as visible rather than minimized Version 1.00 ------------ Original version was not released.
