  • using special login, extra commands can be sent to the router after logging in for the first sample in a session
  • added option of command line parameters "minimise" (or "minimize") and "startrecording"
  • added plots of maximum attainable rates to the connection speed graph

New in DSLstats 2.6 (Mar 27, 2013)

  • corrected behaviour of system tray options
  • added Minimise to system tray menu
  • corrected calculation of "per minute" graph values with change of sample time
  • fixed crash of Windows version when the system tray options were changed before the first run of the program
  • removed Linksys X3000 from the routers list (not compatible with this program)
  • adjusted the layout of the tweaking page to make more room for larger fonts
  • improved the "Special login" capability to make it more widely applicable (still experimental)

New in DSLstats 2.51 (Mar 27, 2013)

  • added option to make exit button minimise the program instead of shutting it down
  • removed incorrect label from bitswaps per min clipping level
  • default clipping level for bitswaps per min increased to 100
  • corrected some visual misbehaviour when enabling and disabling various graphs
  • corrected error whereby the bitloading graph would sometimes be visible when disabled
  • it's no longer required to press "Apply" on the basic configuration page
  • added experimental "Special login" page for routers with a more complicated route to the BusyBox shell
  • System tray icon popup hint shows downstream speed and SNRM
  • added partial implementation of automatic update (downloads new version, but doesn't update)

New in DSLstats 2.41 (Mar 27, 2013)

  • fixed "divide by zero" error when enabling log scaling for FEC graph

New in DSLstats 2.4 (Mar 27, 2013)

  • added option to minimise the program to the system tray
  • added option to ask user to confirm exit from the program
  • added extra configuration tab "Misc" for the above options and some others
  • increased range of clipping for the FEC graph
  • added option to disable clipping on the FEC graph
  • added option for logarithmic Y axis on the FEC graph
  • added option to snapshot all active graphs on exit
  • added clipping to the bitswaps per minute graph
  • improved the scaling of the bitswaps per tone graph (to avoid strange Y axis values)
  • some cosmetic improvement to the graphs (a little space above the highest Y value)
  • improved handling of router switch-off or disconnection
  • improved program shutdown procedure to resolve occasional access violation (hopefully)
  • decluttered the configuration tabs
