We are pleased to announce the General Availability of MP Author version 9.2 (both free and Professional versions). We’ve made lots of updates and improvements to the products. Here’s a summary of the changes:
• Convert Event Level back to a friendly value when editing event rules and monitors.
• Allow Excel files to be saved as CSV. Allow CSV export to have commas (field separators), CR/LF, LF, and/or CR in values replaced with characters specified as environment variables.
• Update CSV export to be consistent for all export paths. Export to Excel button should now export all rows.
• Add Alert Display Name to Monitor and Rules grids.
• Fix the Expression steps in various wizards to allow Optional/Required expressions and update the button state correctly.
• Update the extended Browse for Folder dialog and use in all places that require folder browsing.
• To make it easer to see the start/end of user commands, show them in green in the log file. Hyperlinks are now just shown in black.
• Description fields in wizards now allow multiple line text.
• Alert names will be updated when editing alert generating rules and monitors (unless customized).
• Add class instance browser for fragments.
• Fixed XML edit control in Import Fragment dialog (OK button no longer hidden in some cases).
• Widen the Name column in Import Fragment to handle longer names.
• Support s in fragments (and log fragments which have no expected contents).
• Modify the fragment code to work with a read-only file system.
• Change file name of fragment index file. Re-index when browsed.
• Allow validation specifications to follow parameter names in fragments. Update Import Fragment to validate against those rules. The Add-Fragment PowerShell cmdlet also validates.
• Allow hyperlinks to be clicked when importing a fragment (but not when editing).
• SNMP Probe and Trap monitors now allow overridable parameters in expressions.
• Various bug fixes and optimizations.
MP Studio 9.2 has also been released.
