+ The time needed for loading a crashump into the crashdump
+ viewer would earlier grow exponentially with the size of
+ the crashdump file. Reading a file of 20M would take a
+ couple of minutes, and for a dump of 250M it would take
+ between 1 and 2 hours. This has been solved.</p>
+ <p>
+ Earlier, all processes, timers, funs or ets-tables would
+ be loaded into the memory of the crashdump viewer node
+ before sending it on to the web server. This has been
+ changed and the pages are now sent to the web server in
+ chunks.</p>
+ <p>
+ A security function in newer web browsers prevents a full
+ file path to be sent from an HTML file input field, i.e.
+ the field needed to implement the "Browse" button when
+ loading a file into the crashdump viewer. To overcome
+ this, the file input field is no longer used. Instead a
+ normal text input field is used, and the user needs to
+ manually insert the complete file path. For convenience,
+ a shell script and a batch file are added to the observer
+ application. These can be used to start the
+ crashdump_viewer and a browser and load a file - with the
+ file name given from the command line. The shell script
+ and batch file are called cdv and cdv.bat respectively,
+ and can be found in the priv dir of the observer
+ application.</p>
