<p>This document describes the changes made to the Observer

+<section><title>Observer 2.5</title>
+
+ <section><title>Improvements and New Features</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>The following improvements are done to Crashdump
+ Viewer:</p> <list> <item>Reading of crash dumps with many
+ binaries is optimized.</item> <item>A progress bar is
+ shown when the detail view for a process is
+ opened.</item> <item>The <c>cdv</c> script now sets
+ <c>ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS=0</c> to avoid generating a new
+ crash dump from the node running the Crashdump
+ Viewer.</item> <item>A warning dialog is shown if the
+ node running the Crashdump Viewer could potentially
+ overwrite the crash dump under inspection.</item>
+ <item>Bugfix: In some situations, Crashdump Viewer could
+ not find the end of the 'Last calls' section in a crash
+ dump, and would erroneously mark the crash dump as
+ truncated. This is now corrected.</item> <item>Bugfix: In
+ some situations, process info for a specific process
+ would be marked as truncated by Crashdump Viewer, even if
+ the crash dump was truncated in the binary section - and
+ not related to the process in question. This is now
+ corrected.</item> </list>

+ <p>
+ <c>etop</c> had a hardcoded timeout value of 1 second
+ when waiting for data from a remote node. When this
+ expired, which could happen for instance if there were
+ very many processes on the remote node, etop would exit
+ with reason <c>connection_lost</c>. To overcome this
+ problem, the timeout is now changed to be the same as the
+ update interval, which is configurable.</p>
