11.90.2 February 22, 2020

-Several tools use grid controls - ARP Scanner, SMB Scanner, SSL Certificate Scanner etc. The software is designed to sort the contents by clicking on the column header - the intent is that the user would click after the tool has completed an action. We found that for certain tools clicking on a header before it was complete could miss-sort the results output. This has been corrected - clicks on a header while the tool is in progress are ignored. Please click on the header to sort once the tool has completed an action.
-Port Scanner now correctly sorts when the Port column header is clicked.
-Updated dates to 2020.
-Updated SQLite to version 3.31.1
-Updated MAC address/Manufacturer database.

11.90.1 September 19, 2019

-Changed the default location of the Results Database for new installations. The new location is the User Data area, typically C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\NWPS\NetScanToolsPro. The old location was C:\Users\%username%\Documents. Changes to Windows 10 security, specifically if you have activated Controlled Folder Access may prevent NetScanTools Pro from writing to the Documents directory since it is one of the default protected directories. Controlled Folder Access is part of Windows Security Ransomware Protection and from there you can exclude (whitelist) NetScanTools Pro so that you can read/write to Documents. If SQLite cannot write to the directory you select, the SQLITE_CANTOPEN(14) error message appears and you will need to check directory permissions and Controlled Folder Access or select a new location.
-Prevent automatically saving to the Results Database in the event that the database was not opened at startup.
-ARP Scanner now gives you control over the number of ARP packets to send per IP address. A new Defaults button was added.
-Duplicate IP Scanner now gives you control over the number of ARP packets to send per IP address. A new Defaults button was added.

PingTrend now includes an Export to CSV function on the list of dropped packets. The dropped packets list has been expanded from 2000 entries to 4096 entries. PingTrend graph scaling selection is now retained between sessions.
-Updated MAC address/Manufacturer database.
-Updated IP to Country database.

11.90.0 July 30, 2019

New Tool
-PingTrend: this is a new tool designed to rapidly ping a single target (default 10ms repetition rate - fully adjustable, slower or faster) and record the data in a database for later analysis with a separate PingTrend report tool. Latency, jitter, minimum, maximum, average and median are calculated over the whole dataset or a specific user defined subset of the data. Locate it on the Ping - Graphical tool along with the older tool.

-ARP Cache: Listening thread shutdown improvement.
-ARP Scan: Listening thread shutdown improvement.
-DNS Tools Batch Queries: Importing of lists speeded up.
-DNS Tools Core: Test Default DNS now grays out the buttons after checking for an empty input field.
-IP to Country: Importing of lists speeded up.
-MAC to Manufacturer: Importing of lists speeded up.
-Ping Scan: Importing of lists speeded up.
-Ping Scan: Exporting of IP Address and/or Hostname column(s) to text file has been added to the right click results menu.
-Ping Scan: Right click results menu item Delete Non-Responding IPs now works correctly.
-Network Interfaces and Statistics: in the Network Interface List, the IPv4 and IPv6 Interface Index values are shown together. This assumes you have IPv6 on the machine.
-SNMP shutdown command was added to ExitInstance. The program will now properly unload the MIBs that have been loaded if the SNMP tools were used.
-SNMP Advanced: quotes have been removed from results in the System Info and ARP Cache reports.
-Packet Generator: corrected problem where the source IP address was not being used from the dropdown WinPcap Interface list.
-Packet Generator: timing of the start of each packet is now much more accurate (microseconds) as defined in the Packet Interval entry field. It is now accurate enough to use for jitter testing when Send Continuously is selected. The floating packet progress window was eliminated in order to add to the accuracy. Packet Interval must be set greater than zero for accurate send timing, recommend setting packet count at one and using UDP for jitter testing.
-Packet Generator: burst mode has been added. If packet count is greater than zero and the packet interval is zero, it will send a burst of identical packets as fast as the WinPcap driver allows. If Send Continuously is selected, bursts will be sent as fast as possible.
-Packet Generator: TCP Options are being incrementally added. This release adds SACK, MSS, and Window Scaling TCP options.
-Packet Generator: CDP packets now correctly go to mac address 01-00-0C-CC-CC-CC.
-Port Scanner: corrected logic for displaying messages relating to AV programs intercepting port 25 and 110 email communications.
-Port Scanner: Listening thread shutdown improvement.
-SMTP Server Tests: TLS mail sending command sequence has been corrected. STARTTLS mode should now work correctly.
-Updated SQLite to 3.7.8.0
-Updated database files.

11.80 August 4, 2016

-Fixed problem running on color depths of less than 32 bits per pixel. Error message was "Failed to create empty document".
-Fixed problem with Results Database Directory where if the directory did not exist, the message "SQLITE_CANTOPEN[14]: unable to open database file." This was because SQLite could not create a database in a non-existant directory.
-Fixed problem in supporting programs where the wrong report banner image name was being written to the html report source.
-Fixed problem where in Automated tools, if you entered the wrong type of data and IP to ASN, Auth Serial Check, DNS Verify, SRV records or IP to Country was checked, it might crash.
-Improved message that appears when WinPcap is not running. Now includes suggestion to open a command prompt and run the command 'net start npf' to force WinPcap startup. This may require admin privileges on Windows 7 or Vista.
-Added more string length to handle long pathnames in Network Connections.
-Removes temporary files on exit.
