Version History of LAN Speed Test (A=Added, B=Bug fix, C=Change)
2.0.8 (10/03/11) - Eleventh Public Release
-----
A - Option to switch between Binary Mode (1MB = 1,048,576) and Decimal Mode (1MB = 1,000,000) that affects results
as well as building of the test file
C - Minor changes and updates
C - Help file updated
2.0.7 (09/22/11) - Tenth Public Release
-----
A - HUGE!! LAN Speed Test now builds the large test files on the fly in 1 MB chunks instead of the whole thing at once.
Now you can test with test packets up To 9 GB in size and LAN Speed Test will still only take a maximum of 10 MB of
your RAM! This works when testing to a shared folder or to the LST Server.
C - Cancel is very responsive now on all data transfers
C - All Network Scan info (Name & Notes) is now saved by MAC address instead of IP address since IP addresses
are not always static
A - Name is now editable in Network Scan
A - Sort by columns is now supported in Network List and Log View
B - 'Folder or Network IP' can now be over 30 characters in Log View (this was causing Log View display to be empty)
C - Log file is now a .csv file instead of a .txt file
B - If you closed the log window with the 'X' - you could have lost changes to the Log file without warning
C - All results are now correctly displayed as decimal instead of binary (i.e. 1 MB = 1,000,000 instead of 1,048,576)
C - Progress display is more responsive and displays more information
A - Add network card information to debug window
A - Add Windows 7 & Server 2008 information to debug window
C - All Network Scan info is now saved in LST_Settings.ini instead of it's own file
C - Printing routine updated
A - Display results after each packet and between write/reads
A - Can log results even when cancelled or errored out - adding 'Cancelled...' or 'Error...' in the comment
A - Added status and date to debug window
C - Changed the way the 'Test Packet Size' is adjusted to a scrollbar
C - Minor bug fixes and internal updates
C - Help file updated
2.0.6 (06/25/11) - Ninth Public Release
-----
This version fixes all known timer issues!
C - New high precision Timer routine - no longer dependent on LAN Speed Test calculating the processor speed. This was
causing some issues in very rare situations
A - Automatically downgrades to a compatible Timer if your hardware does not support the high precision Timer (most do)
A - New log view window with ability to edit logs and add notes
C - Packet sizes can now be as low as 2KB for testing slow wireless networks - previous minimum was 1MB
A - Ability to add notes to the Network List (for IP descriptions, etc.)
A - Added option to automatically populate 'Folder or Server IP' from Network List
C - Network List Window can now stay open while doing tests, etc.
C - Removed unregistered restrictions from Network List
C - Lots more backend information fed to the Debug Window
A - Added some more help information (What's New,FAQ, Errors, etc.)
C - Some UI enhancements
C - Minor bug fixes and internal updates
2.0.5 (02/22/11) - Eighth Public Release
-----
A - Network Scan (lets you see all other computers/devices that are on your network) with the ability to Ping test to any of them
C - Logging has been re-vamped. Now logs are kept in table format
A - New log view window
A - More communication options added with LST Server allowing for better logging, etc. on the server end (Requires
LST Server v.1.1 or greater)
A - Debug Window added giving a behind the scenes look for advanced troubleshooting
A - Added more options for 'Folder or Server IP:' i.e. \\192.168.30.201\files (see help for details)
A - Update Help with detailed instructions for 'Folder or Server IP:'
A - Added more details to error windows
B - Last used 'Folder or Server IP:' did not always get saved in .ini file when typed in manually
C - Code cleaned and optimized for even smaller/faster executable
C - Minor bug fixes and internal updates
2.0.4 (10/28/10) - Seventh Public Release
-----
A - Display processor speed
A - Advanced Configuration Screen for fine tuning the network tests
C - Updated the routine that calculates the processor speed
B - Fixed window dimensions for Windows 2003 Server
C - Numerous internal updates
C - Help File updated
2.0.3 (9/23/10) - Sixth Public Release
-----
A - Added support for LST Server (Test Client to Server (LAN or WAN) network speed without limitations of hard drives)
* LST Server is an add-on available at http://www.totusoft.com
C - Timer has now been greatly enhanced for more accurate results!
The resolution used to be 1/100th of a second. Now the resolution is actaully the frequency of your processor.
A 3 Ghz processor means a resolution of 1/3,000,000,000th of a second! This allows for super fast network measurement
speeds - especially with the new LST Server option
A - Added ability to change packet size (1-100MB) in .ini file (advanced users only)
A - Added logging capability
C - Command Line Mode much more user friendly (/D /S /SS)
C - Scheduling runs now an option with logging and new Command Line format
B - Misc small bug fixes
C - Help File updated with new features
2.0.2 (7/19/10) - Fifth Public Release
-----
A - Added /SS switch (Super Silent - no progress bars or dialog boxes)
C - Cleaned up some code (Filesize is actually smaller - now 100KB!)
2.0.1 (7/12/10) - Fourth Public Release
-----
B - On very fast transfer rates, bit calcuations were so high that the results went into scientific mode and would show
negative (Thanks John!)
2.0.0 (6/17/10) - Third Public Release
-----
C - Completely re-written (much faster and more accurate way to measure)
Most tests are done in less than 1 minute
C - New GUI - Very user friendly
A - New window that displays progress bar and allows user to cancel at any time
A - New Open/Save option to .csv file
A - Individual profiles automatically saved to .ini file to remember all settings
A - Selectable Speed Measurements
A - MAC address is now displayed and used for individual profiles
A - Command Line Mode (Allows network administrators to start the test from the client's workstation and view the automatically
generated .csv file from anywhere on the network)
A - Added help for all functions
A - Helpful network tips
