SpaceMonger Changelog

What's new in SpaceMonger 2.1.2. Pre 3 Build 1574 Beta

• Added the ability to load scan data from an XML file
• Added the ability to save scan data to an XML file
• Changed the status bar so that the disk stats consume less space, and only appear when nothing is selected. Disk stats also now show total disk usage.
• Added the new PHP scanner, which can generate XML that SM can read, but can do it on anything that can run PHP (including remote web servers).
• Added command-line interface to PHP scanner.
• Added the ability to link against the standard C library (not a visible change to end-users).
• Added decoders for GIF images.
• Added decoders for JPEG images (based on the IJG JPEG library).
• Added Zlib to Wink's core.
• Added decoders for PNG images (based on LibPNG).
• Added resizable fold-out Preview panel for previewing selected images (currently all BMPs, uncompressed Targa, GIF 87a/89a, all JPEGs; all PNGs).
• Added a translation for German (Deutsch). Thanks, Robert!
• Added a setup option to display separated (Windows-style) scrollbar arrows instead of the current grouped (Cooper-style) scrollbar arrows.
• Added options to control the content of the histogram and pie chart.
• Added stacked-bar-chart option to the histogram.
• Histogram has a new shiny shaded look.
• Added "Alternate Layout" option to right-click menus.
• New high-speed storage engine makes updates around 50% faster.
• Fixed minor scanning bug in smscan.php v1.1; this bug generated incorrect output for symbolic links.
• Fixed reparse-point processing to correctly handle Windows Vista's new symbolic links (and to correctly count junction points).
• Fixed pie-chart size bug (when scanning a very small directory on a very large disk, the pie-chart would might leave out some files)
• Fixed partial-type-classification bug (for example, "*.c" would successfully match "file.cfg" or "file.com", which is wrong).
• Fixed path-classification pie-chart bug that appeared in 2.1.2-pre.
• Added special-case handling for the pie-chart file-regex DFA for circumstances where the pattern is some form of "*.something"; this improves both performance and reliability when compiling the pie-chart patterns, and should make it difficult if not impossible to crash SM using only wildcard patterns.
• Fixed several bugs in the character-set conversion tables for various obscure ISO standards (notably Greek and Russian). It seems the original tables from the Unicode consortium's web site had glitches with some characters.
• Fixed window-drag bug that would prevent a window from resizing to cover multiple screens on multimonitor systems.
• Fixed decoding of BMP files to correctly decode 16-bit, 32-bit, 16-bit NT, 32-bit NT, RLE4, and RLE8. These are all somewhat obscure formats, but they're used enough that they'll be needed.
• Fixed GIF decoding to support GIF 89a as well as GIF 87a. Fixed it again to correctly handle comment extension blocks, as well as files with bad global or local palettes.
• Fixed Targa decoding to ignore compressed Targa files (instead of trying to use them as uncompressed data).
• Histogram bars now correctly light up when the mouse moves over them.
• Added an updated language translation for Chinese.
• Added an updated language translation for Brazilian Portugese.
• Fixed histogram's divide-by-zero error for 1 terabyte disks.
