Hi there,

    Web Polygraph 2.5.5 is available. The change log is attached.
        http://polygraph.ircache.net/sources/

    This release includes primarily bug fixes that were distributed in
forms of patches after 2.5.4 release. We also clarified and updated
copyright/licensing terms. See change.log for other changes.

    I would like to believe that version 2.5.5 is as stable as 2.5.4,
but we have to wait for users to complain first.

    We are almost done with the new Polygraph Web site so version
2.6.0 will be released any time now.

Alex.

------------- change log -----------------
2.5.4 -> 2.5.5
20010501
    - updated copyright/license statements
    - added licensing terms acknowledgment to ./configure script
    - resurrected support for user-defined or "table-based" distributions;
      e.g., ``SimpleContent.size = table("/tmp/t.distr", "size");'' where
      /tmp/t.distr contains the distribution of type size_distr
    - added webaxe-3.pg configuration file for WebAxe workload; this file
      was distributed with Polygraph version 2.5.4 under the name
      webaxe-2.5.pg
    - Red Hat 7.0 compatibility fixes
    - AIX compatibility fixes
    - fixes for platforms with unsigned chars (e.g. AIX); PGL parser would
      quit on those platforms with error location pointing to the end of a
      file being parsed
    - fixed an old ltrace bug: sampling windows were sometimes getting
      huge, leading to excessive memory consumption and possibly somewhat
      incorrect trace plots
    - fixed local time detection bug on Solaris; the bug caused Polygraph
      to complain about client/server clocks being out of sync even if
      both processes were running on the same host
    - replaced "MB/sec" column heading produced by make_report
      with less confusing Mbit/sec
