Polygraph 2.7.5 available

Hi there,

    Web Polygraph 2.7.5 is available. The change log is attached.
        http://www.web-polygraph.org/downloads/

    This is a minor release incorporating fixes for mostly minor bugs
or misfeatures. This release is a candidate for a "stable"
designation. We will assign the "stable" tag if we get no relevant bug
reports within the next month or so.

    Please note that we had to remove "you can modify" clause from the
default end-user license to comply with University of California
requirements. Giving you a royalty-free right to modify your copies
has always been our intention; we just cannot continue to do it under
the default license. If you need a license that allows you to modify
Web Polygraph, please contact us.

    If you are using anything but 2.7.4, you probably need to upgrade
ASAP as many bugs were fixed and features were added. 2.7.4 users can
linger for a little bit longer, but be aware of the phase
synchronization bug fixed in 2.7.5, especially if you run tests with
multiple client-server PC pairs.

Enjoy,

Alex.

------------- change log -----------------
2.7.4 -> 2.7.5
20011231
    - removed "you can modify" clause from the default end-user
      license to comply with University of California license
    - changed default PopModel.bhr_discrimination from 100% to zero
      to remain backward compatible with earlier versions and workloads
      that did not use BHR discrimination algorithm
    - removed "under construction" warnings from -4 workload files
    - log statistics about transactions involving foreign URLs
    - make all accept(2) errors on the server side non-fatal;
      continue to report previously fatal errors
    - make errors when creating a UDP socket to send a DNS query non-fatal
    - report current load factor level when rptmstat is in use
    - better handle very large console messages (some errors may
      generate output exceeding internal buffer capacity)
    - fixed phase synchronization bug; reordered requests from
      robots could sometimes confuse phase synchronization
      algorithm and lead to incorrect phase schedule
    - BSDI portability fix
    - fixed lx segmentation fault bug that was especially likely
      in the presence of large number of different errors logged
      during the test
    - do not print millions of "fyi: populus reached max level"
      messages when (often incorrectly configured) test attempts
      to increase the number of robots when all robots are already
      in use
    - fixed other minor bugs that probably remained invisible in 2.7
      branch but were exposed by ongoing code changes
