FrameSeer 1.6 beta
Because of a significant number of internal changes, FrameSeer 1.6 is being released as a beta version. All users are welcome to download and test this version. Please report any problems to LGOSystems Support Services.
- FrameSeer will no longer be released as separate “licensed” and “demonstration” versions. FrameSeer 1.6 will be released as a standalone package and future updaters will apply to version 1.6 and later.
- From version 1.6, FrameSeer relies on Mac OS X authorization services to control whether users are allowed to capture network traffic. The Security Privileges sub-menu in the FrameSeer menu has been replaced with a Security tab in the Preferences window. There are subtle differences in behaviour between Tiger and Panther and users are encouraged to read the online help on this topic.
- From version 1.6, FrameSeer installs its helpers in “/Library/Application Support/LGOSystems/”. Among other things, this means that FrameSeer can be moved or copied without the Finder raising objections.
- From version 1.6, registration details are entered in the Registration window (accessed via the Help menu). In practice, this change will only affect new customers or existing customers who need to re-enter their registration details. FrameSeer automatically opens the Registration window when necessary.
- This version includes the latest IANA updates (protocol numbers, etc).
- This version also improves memory management (only users who are in the habit of capturing up to the limit of virtual memory should notice this change).
- The marked column in the Capture tab now displays as a checkbox.
