JD's Auto Speed Tester full changelog

I have fix a problem with the use of the windows "auto hide" taskbar option. The blue testing pop-up windows now sit above your task bar's height whether it is hidden (in "auto hide" mode) or not.
I have added an option to record failures of the LAN or WAN test. So now you can log periods of no connectivity at all.
I have trimmed in the download and upload speed results in order to match the results better between the default measurement method and the adapter hooks. They were also slightly high so I have spent some time trimming them to be as precise as possible.
I have also done some more work on the upload test as there were some reports of odd results.
I have stopped Jdast from "hanging" when our server is offline due to maintenance or a problem. It may still hang slightly but no where near as long as it used to.

· JDast is now ready for Windows 8

· Fixed a bug reported in the test file URL scanner.
· Some other minor GUI tidying and code alterations. Hopefully JDast should be ready for a stable release.

have done my best to add translations to the program for the following languages:
· French
· German
· Russian
· Italian
· Spanish
· Dutch

· The translations may not be great as I just used google translate but if anyone wants to contact me with corrections then please do.
· Also contact me If you would like me to add any other languages.

· I have slightly altered the clipping. It used to start the clipping immediately after the download/upload command but I have changed it to start clipping as soon as the data starts flowing.

· I have altered the X axis time line text.

· General tweaks and bug fixes.
· I've also moved the services control to the menu bar. This was because I wanted an easy way to be able to see if the service was running or not (the menu text changes if service is running etc)

· I have added the ability to run jdast as a service. (Option found on main quot;Menuquot; called quot;jdast service controlquot;).

· I have added a method of having jdast quot;wake-upquot; a sleeping computer 1 minute before a scheduled test, you can also set it to go back to sleep directly after completing the test. You can also do this with Hibernation. (Option found on the quot;Generalquot; tab of the configurations).

· Added ability to manually override the automatic ISP name resolution and set your ISP manually. This option i have put under the main quot;Menuquot; and called it quot;Manually set ISP namequot;

· Please read the help file (not the online one) as I have added as much information as I can about the top 2 new abilities and a would suggest you read it before trying to use them (especially the Jdast service).

· Added Quick Check/Uncheck functionality, which allows you to check/uncheck files by their folder, extension, file size, file date, etc.
· Enhanced Move/Delete files window
· Added new options tab to select which columns you want to be shown in the results grid.
· Added Compare Folders menu (Only in Pro and Corporate version)
· Added option quot;Delete empty foldersquot; (Only in Pro and Corporate versions)
· Added export to XML and CSV format (Only in Pro and Corporate version)
· The program can delete read-only files
· The program will check for Recycle Bin size and show a warning if you want to delete the files to Recycle Bin and there is not enough space available
· Added warnings when unchecking a selection and there are user checked files
· Added support for symbolic links in Windows 7
· Fixed some 120DPI issues
· Fixed wildcard issues in Filter dialog

· The ConsoleApplication1 error that has shown for a couple of users has been fixed.
· Remote Jdast :- found under the main windows toolbar quot;Menuquot; called quot;Remote Jdast configurationsquot;
· I have added some remote support functionality. By uploading certain data & pictures to your own FTP servers after every test you can have quot;livequot; access to a remotely running Jdast's information.
· You can upload the CSV, the error log and a quot;Tagquot; picture.
· The CSV and error logs give you real time access to the data of a remote Jdast, this can be of help if you have set it up to help another person or on one of your own remote systems.
· The Tag is a mini version of the main graph and can be used to post to forums, emails, web sites etc, the benefit here is that the graph will be quot;livequot; ie it will update itself after each full test cycle.
· You can choose which of these 3 parts you want to upload and where these files should go, although the CSV and Error Log do go together to the same user set locati

· The main aim for this update is to fix the upload testing of faster upload connections ( >2Mb/s. )

· There seemed to be problem quot;Maxing outquot; the upload using the winAPI FTP on faster upload connections so I have added a new method of doing the upload. I (we) have built an FTPupload.exe using C# which will saturate even the fastest of upload speeds. You will need the .NET framework V4 to use the new upload test but I'm sure most people will have this installed on there systems nowadays. If you do not have .NET v4 and do not want to install it then you can just turn off the upload testing.

· I never did get to the bottom of why the winAPI seems to have this wearied limit of about 2 or 3Mb/s on a single thread, I have tested on a local FTP server and it works fine iv measured 100Mb/s but iv been getting feedback that when it was used on fibre connections it was hard to saturate the upload.

· Hopefully this new method of uploading will remedy this problem.
