Simple Port Forwarding Changelog

What's new in Simple Port Forwarding 3.8.5

Jan 30, 2014
  • Completely redid the code for the port tester, making it way more faster and fixed a few minor bugs.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.8.2 (Jan 23, 2014)

  • Added more commands to handle more router models.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.8.1 (Feb 16, 2013)

  • Code changes.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.8.0 (Feb 13, 2013)

  • Changes to the main Window in the program. Added a button to update the router database and to test the port forwarding.
  • Multiple code changes and improvements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.7.0 (Feb 13, 2013)

  • Update to all commands in the program to handle hidden objects. Some routers would have the same name or id for a text box for example. But the one with the same name was hidden. But the program would see the hidden one first and so didn't set the correct object. The scripts will now skip any hidden ones and search on for the next one instead.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.6.1 (Jan 9, 2013)

  • Add more commands to handle more routers and other changes

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.6.0 (Nov 20, 2012)

  • Major code changes and updates to support more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.5.0 (Jul 28, 2012)

  • Major code changes and updates.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.4.0 (Jul 19, 2012)

  • Large amounts of code improvements.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Improved debug mode.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.3.0 (Apr 29, 2012)

  • Improvements to the scripting code.
  • Other small improvements to the interface.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.10 (Apr 29, 2012)

  • Minor Code tweaks.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.9 (Nov 14, 2011)

  • Bug fixes to the interface.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.8 (Nov 8, 2011)

  • Fixed bug in the button sub classing control in the program. The subclass would cause the program to crash when you closed a window in the program.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.7 (Nov 4, 2011)

  • Minor code tweaks
  • GUI fixes.
  • Added VB6 SP6 runtime files. Some users had corrupted or outdated runtimes the program needs.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.6 (Oct 4, 2011)

  • Minor code tweaks.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.5 (Sep 1, 2011)

  • Removed message about removing the password from the program when log in failed. This was meant for the old way the program logged into the router. Since that has changed, this message was no longer needed.
  • Added some control dll's to have SPF use instead of the ones on the users systems. On a few rare systems, if the users theme controls had the wrong or mismatched versions then SPF or their computer would crash. I have put the correct files with SPF and it will use those now instead. I am hoping this will fix the crash problems for those few people.
  • Code Tweaks

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.4 (Jul 29, 2011)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.3 (Jul 11, 2011)

  • Added better support for the window positions of the program. On some users systems, if they had another program running that worked with program windows, it would cause CleanMem to save the window positions off screen, or if a user lowered their screen resolution and the old position would now be off screen. The program now checks the current screen resolution and brings the windows back on screen
  • Changed the program update feature. It use to offer to download and apply new updates (this is for the program not the router database, that still updates automatically).

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.2 (May 3, 2011)

  • Code tweaks.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.1 (Apr 19, 2011)

  • Minor graphic fix.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.2.0 (Apr 16, 2011)

  • Major interface update.
  • Code tweaks and fine tuning.
  • Added new option whether or not to show the router pic. This is off by default. This will help users who don't wish to connect to the site to get the router pic. 1 less connection and depending on your internet speed will help speed up the start of the program not having to wait for the router pic.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.6 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • Major bug fix. In the past when a user had DEP enabled on their system it would crash the program. In past updates I found some API's in windows to help stop this. This worked for many people, but there where still some users where DEP was still crashing the system. I was able to finally trace it to my custom buttons I had made. I have since replaced them with new buttons and redid the main windows of the program. So far on my system with DEP enabled the crashes have stopped
  • Many UI changes
  • Multiple code tweaks.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.5 (Mar 29, 2011)

  • Multiple small bug fixes.
  • Multiple code tweaks.
  • More commands added to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.4 (Mar 23, 2011)

  • Bug fixes

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.3 (Mar 14, 2011)

  • Minor bug fixes.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.2 (Feb 23, 2011)

  • Script Code improvements to better handle certain routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.1 (Feb 21, 2011)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.1.0 (Feb 16, 2011)

  • Many code updates to make the scripts work better and handle more routers.
  • Program now remembers the window positions instead of always starting in the center of the screen. This is for users with dual monitors who wish to have the window open where they put it, such as on a different screen.
  • Code improvements and changes.
  • Normally all settings are stored in a ini file so people can use it on thumb drives and on different computers. The new window position settings will be the only settings stored in the registry. The reason for this, if you use the program from a thumb drive, save the window position, then when you run the program again from the thumb drive on a different system that has a smaller resolution and such, then the program would open off screen. by storing the keys in the registry it stays for the computer in ran on instead.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.21 (Jan 30, 2011)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.20 (Jan 29, 2011)

  • Graphic bug fixes in the main window. The text in the list would become corrupt, that has now been fixed.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.19 (Jan 25, 2011)

  • GUI code fixes.
  • Added a new right click menu option to the rule list in the main window of the program. "Update All With Current Local IP" will allow a user to update all the rules in the list with their current local IP. This is useful for the people who use the portable version with thumb drives and on jobs and the local IP is different on each machine they run it on. Also for users who haven't ran the program for a while and their local IP is different. Before the user had to click on each rule to update the IP. Now they can do it with one click.
  • Major code improvements.
  • Updated the log text to be easier to read.
  • Program is now compatible with DEP, and should stop the program from crashing when DEP is enabled on the system.
  • Changed the search router list button from an icon to text. This will help new users see the search option better.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.18 (Jan 19, 2011)

  • Code fixes and improvements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.17 (Jan 6, 2011)

  • Fix minor graphic glitch in the main window of the program.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.16 (Dec 24, 2010)

  • Code improvements on all script commands to better handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.15 (Dec 4, 2010)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.14 (Nov 16, 2010)

  • Code improvements to many script commands.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.13 (Oct 29, 2010)

  • Updated All commands to better handle certain conditions that would cause the commands to fail if certain characters where in the command name. This update now allows the support of even more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.12 (Oct 25, 2010)

  • Updated the Static IP tool with a new Save preset option. This is for those users who change networks.
  • Improved some of the user interface code.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.11 (Oct 9, 2010)

  • Some users who ran the port tester would have virtual networks installed. The port tester would have this IP chosen by default sometimes, which would cause the port test to fails since some users didn't see the IP and change it to their correct local IP. I have made the program now auto change to the users correct IP. This should help avoid those situations.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.10 (Oct 5, 2010)

  • Code improvements to multiple commands. Some older routers and even a few newer routers have the same text box names on the port forwarding pages for every text box. This made it hard for the program to know which box to go to when adding rules. The new improvements now handle this and these routers are now fully supported.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.9 (Sep 30, 2010)

  • Updated dozens of commands to better handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.8 (Sep 1, 2010)

  • Tweaked some of the new commands for better performance.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.7 (Aug 24, 2010)

  • Updated Pro feature to detect port settings from newest version of StrongDC++
  • Some new routers have a validation code at login, I have added new commands to handle these new logins.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.6 (Aug 19, 2010)

  • Small bug fix, one of the commands that deals with combo boxes was failing on certain values. This has now been fixed.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.5 (Aug 7, 2010)

  • Small bug fix. One of the buttons on the check list wasn't working. That is now fixed

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.4 (Jul 6, 2010)

  • Added a new command line to run the program in a basic UI mode.So instead of the new interface the basic will go back to the windows default theme. This is for people on versions of windows older than XP or who have trouble with the new interface. To run in basic mode use the command line -basic or /basic

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.3 (Jun 23, 2010)

  • Code improvements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.2 (Jun 11, 2010)

  • Fixed graphic glitch when a user was using scaling higher than 100%.
  • Improved memory usage of the program. The new graphics where taking more memory than I cared for. The program now auto cleans its memory every 15 sec.
  • Program is now 100% portable.
  • Removed VB6 SP6 runtimes from the setup. Most systems already have these files and this will reduce the download size of the program setup.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.1 (May 30, 2010)

  • Fixed small bug where when the program added entries for some P2P clients it made the names to long. Thus some routers wouldn't accept the port forwarding rule. The program now makes the names smaller.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 3.0.0 (May 21, 2010)

  • New & improved user interface.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Code improvements & tweaks.
  • Removed Branding options, program is no longer able to be branded.
  • Removed custom color options. With the new Skin interface changing colors is not option. On all non skinned windows they will use the current system theme for colors.
  • Program is now Free/Pro version. The core of port forwarding is still free. So users can still auto port forward like always. All extra features and all new upcoming features will be part of the pro version.
  • Key codes for the pro version will also work for Simple internet Meter. So users get 2 programs for the price of one, and all current buyers of Simple Internet Meter get Simple port Forwarding Pro for free.
  • Previous versions of simple port forwarding will no longer get any updates. Such as Routers, ports and program updates

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.13 (May 15, 2010)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.12 (Apr 29, 2010)

  • Tweaked the detect router code to auto detect more routers.
  • Fixed small bug in silent mode option.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.11 (Apr 14, 2010)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.10 (Apr 8, 2010)

  • Added support for the program to use both ADO and DAO. The program will first try to use ADO to connect to the databases, if it fails it will use DAO instead. This should help the people who have one or the other corrupt on their system.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.9 (Apr 2, 2010)

  • Small fix, the detect multiple routers tool was not listing the routers in the correct order, that has now been fixed.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.8 (Mar 5, 2010)

  • Changed the way silent mode works in the program. On some routers the web page would not accept the way the program tries to log in (Example: http://admin:[email protected])
  • When silent mode was enabled it kept the standard log in window from appearing so the page wouldn't load. The program will now still suppress error messages from pages but allow the log in box to show.
  • So now no extra steps are needed to make pages like this work. If the router doesn't accept the current log in (Example: http://admin:[email protected]) then the log in box will show like normal and the user can log in, even with silent mode on.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.6 (Jan 23, 2010)

  • Fix some minor bugs in a few of the commands.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.5 (Jan 10, 2010)

  • Improved the search function when doing a search in the router list.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.4 (Jan 2, 2010)

  • The program now Uses ADO instead of DAO to connect and read the databases.
  • Fixed bug where program would lock up if the user had multiple network connections and a non internet connection was set as default.
  • Added error reporting at program startup. If the program has trouble connecting to the databases the user is informed instead of the program locking up.
  • Fixed a bug in one of the commands.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.3 (Jan 2, 2010)

  • The program now Uses ADO instead of DAO to connect and read the databases.
  • Fixed bug where program would lock up if the user had multiple network connections and a non internet connection was set as default.
  • Added error reporting at program startup. If the program has trouble connecting to the databases the user is informed instead of the program locking up.
  • Fixed a bug in one of the commands.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.3 (Dec 28, 2009)

  • Code improvements to multiple commands.
  • Updated detection code of the "Detect Multiple Routers" Tool.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.2 (Dec 22, 2009)

  • Small bug fixes.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Fixed program crashing when updating to a new version.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.1 (Dec 16, 2009)

  • Minor code improvements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.7.0 (Dec 10, 2009)

  • Added new item under the Advanced menu, "Open Windows Firewall".
  • Added new item under the Advanced menu, "Open Network Connections".
  • Added Unicode support. Now the program can handle any language. Supported languages has increased from 11 to 52

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.6.1 (Nov 29, 2009)

  • Bug fix, some of the commands I changed would break under certain conditions and thus that command would fail, this has now been fixed.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.6.0 (Nov 23, 2009)

  • Program is now 99% - 100% translatable (I may have missed only a few areas).
  • Set Static IP tool now remembers the static IP the user set. So if the user runs the tool again the IP wont change on them.
  • Bug Fix: Current Local IP in the menu now properly updates when your IP changes.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • GUI Changes.
  • Code improvements.
  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Removed Getting Started Info Text. Since the check list was added the info tab and text was unneeded.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.9 (Nov 16, 2009)

  • Added support to detect the port settings of Vibe Streamer
  • Minor Spelling Corrections.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.8 (Nov 14, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Added more info on what to do when a user gets an error (Example: Getting Access Denied errors) when trying to update their routers. This should help users get things working faster instead of waiting for support.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.7 (Nov 9, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.6 (Nov 6, 2009)

  • Small bug fixes.
  • Added new setting under the advanced menu. "Enable Script Throttle", normally the program pauses .5 sec between each step in a script, this isn't always needed and can help speed things up.
  • Small UI changes.
  • When using the set static IP tool the boxes where locked, they can now be changed manually by the user.
  • Program now shows the machines local IP address in the right hand side of the menu.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.5 (Oct 6, 2009)

  • Small GUI fixes.
  • Adjusted the detection code for the special programs list to take into account the virtual folders in Windows Vista & newer

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.4 (Sep 16, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Updated the detect multiple routers tool to better detect certain IP's.
  • Added a new tool to clear IE's cache. Since the program uses IE to view the pages sometimes a page would load out of IE's cache causing a problem with the page not being updated. Aside from adding a new command to include in the scripts this can also be called by the user as well from the advanced menu.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.3 (Sep 9, 2009)

  • Added new tool to detect if a user is behind multiple routers.
  • The program now auto detects if the user is behind multiple routers and lets the user know on Step 1. of the check list.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.2 (Aug 28, 2009)

  • Small bug fix for routers with long text box names

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.1 (Aug 28, 2009)

  • The built in port tester now test both TCP & UDP ports.
  • Small bug fixes.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.5.0 (Jul 31, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Made editing the script from the program possible. This mainly benefits me when I am trying to help and support a new router and the user doesn't have MS Access installed on their system so I can edit the script. Now the script can be edited right from the program.
  • Small bug fixes.
  • Code improvements, making some commands and calls more efficient.
  • Multiple user interface changes and tweaking.
  • Added a new repair Internet Explorer Tool under the advanced menu. This tool reregisters all the files needed for IE and fixes a lot of problems when IE isn't working right.
  • Added a new repair MDAC and Jet tool. This will help fix problems when the router database wont load.
  • Added new menu item to point people to a page on the site to help if port forwarding still doesn't work after the router has been updated.
  • Added a new Check List to the getting started window. This will help guide users from start to finish.
  • Added support to detect the port settings of BitLord

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.9 (Jul 7, 2009)

  • Added many more commands to handle more routers.
  • Added support to detect the port settings of strongDC++
  • Added support to detect the port settings of DreaMule

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.8 (Jun 28, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.7 (Jun 22, 2009)

  • Added support to detect the port settings of Ares P2P

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.6 (Jun 19, 2009)

  • Added better error handling to help find problems easier.
  • To help new users better handle some p2p programs the program will now check the p2p programs settings and get the port for the user. All p2p programs set a random default port on each install so there was no way to have them added to the program list. So it was up to the user to go to the p2p program, find the settings and see what port it is using. Well now the program will do it for you making things much simpler for the user. Currently support p2p programs (to get their settings) Azureus Vuze, BitComet, BitTornado, BitTorrent, Emule (Shared), Emule (User Specific), LimeWire, Shareaza, uTorrent.
  • The program no longer uses canyouseeme.org for its port testing. I have added my own port tester to the site. This will give me more options to adding more features in the future.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.5 (May 13, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Small UI fixes.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.4 (Apr 22, 2009)

  • Small update, Kept getting requests to add some programs and games to the ports database. But some programs can't be added. An example is utorrent, it uses a different port on every install. So now the program will display a list of programs it can not have in the database and the reason why. This should help with the number of requests I get.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.3 (Apr 21, 2009)

  • Fixed rare bug where the wrong script would load.
  • Added new options under the advanced menu to allow the user to view the scripts that is loaded for the selected router.
  • Added more options under the file menu.
  • When adding a new port to forward the default was the custom tab, this has been changed to the Database tab.
  • Added a option under the tools menu for a person to contact me if the router pic used for their router isn't right.
  • Added link to the contact me page on the add new port window, if a person would like to have a program or game added to the port database.
  • Added a "search for router" window. The router list is growing large, and trying to find your router in a drop down can be hard. I have added a search window to hopefully make it a little easier on users.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.2 (Apr 18, 2009)

  • Added more branding options, such as changing the logo. These new options are to make the branding more for the user.
  • I have also removed the "Powered By PcWinTech.com" from the title when branded.
  • I have replaced the donate text link with "Powered By PcWinTech.com" on the main window when branded.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.2 (Apr 18, 2009)

  • Added more branding options, such as changing the logo. These new options are to make the branding more for the user.
  • I have also removed the "Powered By PcWinTech.com" from the title when branded.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.1 (Apr 14, 2009)

  • Better enhanced the user interface. With the last update the logo was a gif and looked horrible when the colors where changed. The logo has been replaced with transparent png's instead.
  • Fixed a few bugs in the user interface. Some items where not resizing properly.
  • Made the port tester window resizable.
  • You can now change the programs colors without having to restart for the colors to take effect.
  • Some small code enhancements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.4.0 (Apr 13, 2009)

  • The program can now be branded! You can now change the name of the program in the title of each window. Example: Normal - Simple Port Forwarding By PcWinTech.com, Branded: My Awsome Program - Powered By PcWinTech.com.
  • Which means you can package and put the program out for your site or company. However there are some rules! make sure to read more about it in the help file.
  • Added a new auto detect feature. The detect router feature works well with a lot of the netgear and some of the linksys. These routers give their model on the first http responce. Other routers don't. So it doesnt work for all. But I will be exspanding on this later. When you run the program for the first time it will try to auto detect the router IP and model. Taking an extra step out of the proccess for the user.
  • You can now change the colors of the program. This is for people out there who like to have certain colors. And also when a person brands it they may want to use different colors.
  • Fixed a small bug with removing ports from the windows firewall.
  • Some minor code improvements.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.3.2 (Apr 4, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.3.1 (Mar 19, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Small fixes and improved some of the code.
  • Added a page loading progress page to the program.
  • Changed the way to program waits for a command to finish. Before it would take 100% cpu while waiting, this has now been fixed.
  • Fixed the "View/Remove Ports" screen to handle new window pop ups.
  • Redid the way the port tester determines if the test is successful or not. Before it would read the webpage and look for the word success. Now it instead checks if a connection attempt came in on the port, making the test more reliable.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.2.2 (Jan 26, 2009)

  • Needed to add more commands to handle some newer routers.
  • Removed 2 files from the setup. the databse dll's are part of MDAC and MS Jet 4.0 which is part of the OS from Windows 2000 and above. No need to have the files in the setup and taking up space.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.2.1 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • I have changed the way the program displays the router pictures. Normally the router pics are stored on the users system and are updated when you update the databases. But with so far 172 routers the update is 1.5 MB so as more routers get add the update file will grow rather large. So now the program will download the router picture from the website cutting down on the size of the updates dramatically. Even lowering the size of the program setup. After all why have so many pictures of routers on your system if you only use one? By removing the router pics from the updates the update size has gone from 1.5mb to 165kb

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.2.0 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Added http type so users can now choose http:// or https:// depending on what there router needs. Very few routers need https:// but some when connecting through remote management needs it.
  • Added a new tool to add the ports being forward to the windows firewall. this tool will add each port being forwarded to the windows firewall making one less step for the user to do :-) This comes in handy when you need to add a lot of ports! You may ask, well I will just add the program that needs the ports to the firewall, but this doesnt always work with suchs programs like a ftp server, IIS and a lot of programs that listen on a port but doesnt make out side connections, or programs that use multiple exe's and services. Some times you have to add the port to the firewall, this new tool will make that easier than ever.
  • Added a donate button to the main window. This is for mainly my benifit :-) If people like the program and have a few bucks to spare they can donate to me if they like. I want to keep all my programs free, so donate is the answer.
  • Fixed small bug where the program was miscounting the total of "Ports To Be Opened:" text.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.1.5 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Program now handles when a page opens a new window. This Allows the program to now support routers that would pop open a new window with port forwarding.
  • More commands added to handle more routers.
  • Minor Bug Fixes

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.1.4 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Added new setting to allow the user to set what port to connect through. This is needed for router pages that are not on the default port 80. Plus this also allows the user to connect to routers through their remote admin pages

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.1.3 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Fix a bug that cause the program not to set the combo boxes on some router pages and would also keep the program from finishing the script

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.1.2 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Redid some commands to handle more options.
  • fix bug where the view/remove ports button wouldn't load a page after you clicked the update router button

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.1.1 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Added donate button under the help menu.
  • Added new File menu.
  • Added minimize button to the main program window.
  • Made the IP address boxes a little bigger.
  • Changed the 'Visit Website' under the help menu to go to the program page instead of the sites main page.
  • Added hotkeys to the menu.
  • Fixed tab order in the program.
  • Fixed some spelling errors.
  • Changed the programs exe name from Simple_Port_Forwarding.exe to spf.exe
  • Added new program update system for the program. Now when there is a new update to the program you can have the program download the new update and apply it automatically. Thus the user no longer has to download the new setup, the program will download the new exe, saving time and bandwidth for both the user and my site. Also the new update check only checks once per day when you open it.
  • Added new code so the program will now check if an entry name is already on the router page. If so it will skip that entry. Example: if you add some entries and click update router the router gets updated. You then add a new entry along with the other ones that have already been applied and you click on update router again, the program will now skip the ones that where already done as it will see the entry names on the page and skip those, thus only adding the new entry.
  • Changed a lot of code around and clean some things up, also added even more commands to handle more routers.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.0.4 (Jan 9, 2009)

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.0.3 (Jan 9, 2009)

New in Simple Port Forwarding 2.0.2 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Added more commands to handle more routers.
  • Fixed a few small bugs.
  • The user can now leave the username and password blank, when the program loads the router pages it will then pop up asking for the username and password. This is needed on some routers that don't like how the program passes the username and password.

New in Simple Port Forwarding 1.2.0 (Jan 9, 2009)

  • Added more options for routers.
  • Added more error handling.
  • Added more checks and balances.
  • Added new options to the router database for how many entries a router can hold, this helps when people try to add more than their router can handle.
  • Added splash screen so users can see the program has opened. (In previous versions the program would not open right away due to it connecting to the database, now the program does nothing till the splash is shown so the user knows the program is running)
  • Added an extra step in the "Getting Started" screen, it now informs the user to click the "View/Remove Current Ports" button and clean up any unneeded ports before adding the new entries.
  • Fixed bug where adding a new custom entry with the same name as another entry, the program didnt warn the user.
  • Fixed bug where if you tried to add a entry with the same ports as another entry but with different protocals the program still would't let you contine, saying the port was already in the list. The program nows checks the protocal as well so this doesnt happen again. Example Ports 45 - 50 on TCP and ports 45- 50 on UDP will no longer cause the warning.
  • Added Debugging mode option. This will allow the user to see which command is failing from a script if the program isnt working with their router.
  • Added new tool to help check if your ports are open and working with port forwarding.
  • Added support to handle pages with frames.
