First RC for 0.3.8

Hello everyone.

Time for a RC:s for the up-coming 0.3.8 so please try it out and let me know. I will try to post a note later on with the cumulative updates but for now you will see whats new in this version only.

2010-04-21 MickeM - 0.3.8 RC1
 + Added support for strings and int (values) to CheckSingleRegEntry
   Use like so (int):
    CheckSingleRegEntry path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\MaxSize "syntax=%path%: %int%"  warn==20971520 crit==20971520 check=int ShowAll=long
    CheckSingleRegEntry path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\MaxSize "syntax=%path%: %int%"  warn==30971520 crit==30971520 check=int ShowAll=long
   Use like so (string):
    CheckSingleRegEntry path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\MaxSize "syntax=%path%: %string%"  warn==20971520 crit==20971520 check=string ShowAll=long
    CheckSingleRegEntry path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\MaxSize "syntax=%path%: %string%"  warn==30971520 crit==30971520 check=string ShowAll=long
   This can ofcourse be combined and all valid operators (like regexp, substr, lt, gt, ne etc etc are supported.

New RC fixes memoryleak!

Hello everyone.

I have for the past few weeks been trying to track down a memory leak which has been plaguing me for some time now. And after spending literal hundreds of hours looking over everything trying various simulations and what not I found it. And felt pretty silly as I have suspected that function (and looked at it) for quite some time. I think I shall create a RAII wrapper for the arrayBuffer to prevent such issues in the future.

Anyways, there are a few other things as well but nothing dramatic but a memory leak is always worth an upgrade!

I shall fix the last few bits and pieces with the installer and then release the new version so expect that in the coming week or so. Yes, yes I know I have said so for quite some time but I wanted to fix this darn memory leak and it really took a long time to find...

RC8 out!

Hello everyone (and yes that is probably only me, since no one ever comments on theses :)

Anyways, new RC out as promised, nothing really new from last nights build but I have been running some tests and such to see if I can track down the errant memory leak I found... and I did... ut I have yet to fix it, but dont worry the leak was in the shared session code so just disable shared session and you are fine. I shall (post 0.3.x) I think fix the shared session but depending on how easy it it this might be fixed before.

The highlight from this new RC is instead the brand new installer! It is much improved and works as an installer *should* so all you "MSI package people" let me know what you want configurable. The new installer will (after you pick target directory) read the old config and populate up the parameters used on the "configure dialog" the dialog "wont save" anything as of yet this will come in the next version but I wanted to get some feedback on the contents of the dialog. So if you have any ideas on what you want let me know!!! (yes... I mean that... let me know!!!) :)
