Release Notes for RAIDiator 4.1.3-T136

August 8, 2008

Beta release RAIDiator 4.1.3-T136 is a 2nd release candidate for the final 4.1.3 release. As we are now approaching final release, we would appreciate any help from you to help us test this beta, and provide any feedback you can. As with any pre-production release, if you decide to try it, we do advise that you backup your data regularly.

The download instructions are at the bottom of this release notes.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T120
1. Fixed problem found with the Duo with 1 GB memory where FrontView fails when factory defaulted in Flex-RAID mode.
2. Snapshot resizing now can be done with absolute size instead of percentage.
3. SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 with optimized scanner now replaces the previous SlimServer.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T92
1. Support Flex-RAID configuration for ReadyNAS Duo. In Flex-RAID mode, the Duo can be configured as RAID 0 or 1, up to two volumes (i.e. you can have two RAID 0 volumes each consisting of one disk, ala JBOD). To switch to Flex-RAID mode, you will need to factory default the box (make sure to backup your data), and during a span of 10 minutes after booting, click Setup in RAIDar to bring up the X-RAID/Flex-RAID selection box. Keep in mind that the Duo does not support snapshots, so you can ignore the snapshot option in RAIDar.
2. The “Enable fast CIFS writes” option has been restored for the Duo.
3. Characters such as ‘&’ and ‘%’ are now allowed in the BitTorrent and UPnP A/V folder names.
4. Added SNMP alerts for disk SMART warnings.
5. Fixed missing TwonkyMedia management link in the Streaming Services page.
6. Fixed remote CIFS backup source/destination share mounting to work more reliably.
7. Enhanced disk spin-down times.
8. Fixed potential infinite shutdown issues immediately after bootup.
9. Fixed SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 crash with UTF-8 RSS feeds.
10. Fixed rare bug with automatic file database updates in UPnP A/V, where it could get into an infinite loop.
11. Fixed multiple UPnP A/V entries being created for files copied from OS X.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T77
1. Fixed upgrade to SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 from SlimServer.
2. Fixed HTTP File Manager problem with Safari web browser.
3. Fixed compatibility with MGE UPS.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T37
1. Fixed AFP advanced permission selection option which was broken with T37.
2. Fixed security hole with OpenSSL.
3. Fixed newly found security hole with Samba.
4. Fixed interoperability with Windows 2008 domains.
5. Enhanced Frontview add-on API some more. We’ll have a spec out on this soon, promise. ☺
6. Allow user account names to start with a number.
7. Display actual running state of installed add-on services with a LED.
8. Replaced SlimServer with SqueezeCenter 7.0.1.
9. Changed Auto-copy flash content to match parent folder permission.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T36

1. Fixed browser hanging problem with ReadyNAS 600 and 1000S systems.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p3-T6

1. UPnP A/V streaming service now has an option to automatically update its database whenever a new file has been added, removed, or changed in the media share.
2. Improved support for MGE UPS.
3. Improved support for TrippLite UPS.
4. Fixed several FTP bugs that show up when changing settings.
5. Updated ReadyNAS Photos to v1.5 with more fixes based on user feedback.
6. Improved Frontview command acknowledgment response time.
7. Hide UPS threshold option if UPS does not support it.
8. Added '+' character support for contact email addresses.
9. Improved handling of backup job cancellation.
10. Added advanced AFP permission option to allow for more advanced umask settings.
11. Close FTP login connection after two failed attempts.


Changes since RAIDiator 4.01b1-p2-T10

1. Added automatic FTP banning. After 5 unsuccessful login attempts, user is banned for 15 minutes.
2. Added WMA and AVI support for Popcorn Hour.
3. Allow Seagate disks to run 5C higher before speeding up fan. Fan will now speed up at 50C instead of 45C. This decision was blessed by Seagate engineers.
4. USB drive share access is now retained across device disconnects.
5. Fixed Vista SP1 domain authentication with the ReadyNAS.
6. Fixed caching problem with SNMP OID.
7. Prevent several bugs with ReadyNAS Photos.
8. Fixed UPnP-A/V discovery with some clients.
9. Fixed crash bug in UPnP-A/V on files with invalid image timestamp metadata.
10. Normalize BitTorrent CPU priority to prevent overriding other tasks.

Awesome! Will test out tonight.

Problem accessing share listing. Message "Error in evaluating table display tsi [object Error]" displayed. Don't believe this to be an IE7 issue since previous firmware worked without issue.

[Lover]

I hope the final will come out asap.

I noticed in T136 some slow data transfers (400-500KB/sec), when moving files from one directory (shared folder) to another in root (C).

[horim80]

A-DATA 1G RAM now compatible?

[waves]

FOr the Final 4.1.3, Do you intend to fix the following 2 bugs for Mac OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.4 AFP users ?

- Mount points always defaulting to Icon-View when accessed via AFP !
Share has to be accessed via CIFS for View setup to hold after a log in/Log out, then accessed via AFP

- DST problem for New Caledonia : GMT +11:00
New Caledonia Should have it’s own selection in the list fixed at +11, as DST has never existed in New Caledonia

- on the positive, T120 has fixed previous Permission issue with AFP access for multi user access.

Many Thanks
J-Luc

Would this release fix the problems many have with wireless Vista SP1.

Couldn't see any details regarding it though.

*Crossing fingers*

[Scoottie]

the live release will be great, automatic file updating is something i have been waiting for.

[magnuse]

What version of the new SqueezeCenter scanner is included in this beta?
I have noted at least one difference compared to the official Logitech scanner, the new one does not pick up artist information from my Ogg files.

I noticed that the file transfer speed on T136 is slow. Also the Frontview -> Installed addon -> when you click on the Installed addon button is very slowly opening.

[ernanilm]

For me the performance is poor

[cdaiger]

Working great here! Writing 100GB and getting 22MB/sec.

Great job guys!

Problem accessing share listing. Message "Error in evaluating table display tsi [object Error]" displayed. Don't believe this to be an IE7 issue since previous firmware worked without issue.

I'm getting this same error and even if I try to add new shares to it successfully, I cannot view shares at all.

Whats up with this?

*With use of Firefox, this error doesn't seem to occur. Nor when using 4.01c1-p1.

[Dinger928]

Any other jedis seen this? Hopefully it gets fixed for us IE7 people. Sort of annoying...
