Hi there,

    Web Polygraph 2.7.6 is available. The change log is attached.
        http://www.web-polygraph.org/downloads/

    This is a minor release incorporating fixes for small bugs in
2.7.5. 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.

    If you are using anything other than 2.7.5, you probably need to
upgrade as many bugs were fixed and features were added since your
version was released.

Enjoy,

Alex.

------------- change log -----------------
2.7.5 -> 2.7.6
20020416
    - honor port numbers when mapping agent addresses; ignoring
      ports made using same-IP-different-port-number servers
      impossible
    - made Linux Polygraph clients usable with BSD Polygraph
      servers: ceil(), atof(), or some other standard C library
      function behaves slightly differently in GNU and BSD versions
      of the library when working with floating point numbers; the
      difference leads to a different structure of table
      distributions (same statistical characteristics, but different
      number of internal bins); the latter, in turn, leads to
      different selection among multiple alternatives on BSD and
      Linux, even given the same r.n.g. seed; thus, Linux
      clients/servers could not be mixed with BSD servers/clients
      without errors; worked around one such inconsistency, but
      there may be more
    - phase name could not be extracted by ltrace
    - ifname was not copied to agent addresses when addr_mask (not
      addr_space) was used to calculate those addresses (as in
      PolyMix-3 and other -3 addressing schemes); this led to no IP
      aliases created by Polygraph at run time for those older
      workloads
    - initial BEEP notification messages could get stuck in the
      absence of more messages on the same BEEP channel
    - fixed internal and external errors and warnings reported by
      GCC 2.7.2.3
    - make SCCS's "what" command work as well as RCS's "ident"
    - added version information (via a --version option or usage
      dump) to all installed executables so that "ident" and "what"
      can show version tags for any Polygraph executable
