+ In this release the following has been fixed and
+ enhanced: Autostart: It is now possible to configure
+ modules that shall be loaded by the autostart mechanism.
+ This because it is not certain that all application
+ systems make use of the OTP boot script to set up paths
+ to all Erlang modules. Runtime_tools/Inviso: A bug in the
+ fetch_log functionality has been fixed. Further a bug
+ that was (supposedly) fixed in a previous patch
+ concerning meta-tracer write_ti has been fixed (again) in
+ this patch. A bug in inviso_as_lib making remote
+ autostart config file updates fail has been fixed.
+ Inviso: inviso_tool has been given a flush API.</p>

+ <p>
+ The following bugs/improvements have been done: Internal
+ interworking between inviso_rt and inviso_rt_meta. The
+ call function used by inviso_rt to call inviso_rt_meta is
+ now protected with a monitor. Inviso_rt_meta now includes
+ the timestamp of the incoming meta trace message when
+ calling the call-callback. (Makes it possible to add a
+ "better" timestamp to the ti-file.) Bug in inviso_tool
+ making it not remove trace patterns when terminating. Bug
+ in internal function h_start_session making inviso_tool
+ crash if there were no active nodes to start the session
+ on. The user-inviso_tool and inviso API-inviso control
+ component request/response gen_server protocols had
+ default time-out. Since many trace operations can be time
+ consuming, a longer time-out is necessary. Improved
+ overload protection. It is now possible to let the
+ overload protection renew itself (e.g after an exit from
+ an external overload protector). Inviso_rt_meta now fully
+ uses the exception_trace match spec action term. Run
+ Trace Case API (as in contrast to activate and deactivate
+ trace case APIs) in inviso_tool. Flush trace-port API
+ added to inviso. Get_session_data API added to
+ inviso_tool. Improved inviso_tool:stop making it possible
+ to name nodes which shall not have their trace patterns
+ removed when inviso_tool terminates. Bug in handling of
+ writing multiple ti-entries if returned from a
+ call/return_from call-back in inviso_rt_meta Process
+ trace flags are no longer explicitly removed by the
+ inviso_tool when it terminates. Not necessary.
+ Inviso_tool get_autostart_data adopted to standard
+ autostarter.</p>

+
+ <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ A bug in inviso_rt_meta caused an ETS table containing
+ information on initiated (init_tpm) functions to be lost
+ when suspending tracing. Further an enhancement to
+ inviso_rt has been introduced making it possible to
+ activate process trace flags based on globally registered
+ names. It is then not an error to activate a global name
+ on a node where the name does not reside. The process
+ count in the return value will simply be set to zero
+ (hence exactly one node in the NodeResult part of the
+ return value will indicate one matching process found). A
+ bug was found in fetch_log API. At the same time the
+ fetch_log functionality was enhanced to also offer flow
+ control making fetcher processes send chunks of
+ transferred file data at a slower pace.</p>

+ <p>
+ This ticket includes several improvements and bugfixes to
+ both runtime_tools and inviso. The overload mechanism can
+ now also react to incoming messages. This is useful if
+ an external overload watch-dog is used. Some improvements
+ of variable bindings has been done to the default
+ autostart mechanism - inviso_autostart_server. Autostart
+ "jobs" can now be done in parallel, allowing for some
+ jobs to hang waiting for some parts of the traced system
+ to become ready before proceeding. Previously when using
+ named meta-match-specs (tpm_ms) ending up with zero
+ match-specs still kept the meta trace pattern active.
+ This caused zero match-specs to be equal to unlimited
+ meta tracing on that particular function. If the internal
+ database becomes empty of meta match specs, meta trace
+ pattern is removed for that function. Standard public
+ loop data in the inviso runtime meta tracer process is
+ now extended to a 2-tuple. The functions ctp/1 and ctpl/1
+ are added making it possible to remove trace patterns for
+ a list of functions rather than one by one.
+ Inviso_rt_meta will now accept a list of binaries to be
+ output into the trace information file, in additions to a
+ single binary. Further it is also possible to make own
+ output to the trace information file using the write_ti/1
+ function. An error was discovered in inviso_rt making the
+ inviso_rt_meta remain rather than terminate if the
+ inviso_rt terminated due to "running alone" (not allowed
+ to run without a control component). A new tool,
+ inviso_tool, has been added to the inviso application.</p>
