Release 2 (of DNSB v2)

Release 2​

I just made Release 2 public. It fixes a problem discovered by one of our early users who jumped right in with a 4-hour 100x benchmark. I also took the opportunity to fix two other annoyances since I was going to do a second release regardless. Here's the whole story:

[2.0.9475.0]

Release 2 of the commercial v2 Benchmark. A guaranteed crash would occur whenever more than 1,000,000 queries were sent. This would usually only occur when performing a 50x or 100x benchmark. This 2nd release fixes that. We received some reports of “false positive” Internet disconnected detections. The Benchmark was waiting a full 10 seconds before raising the alarm (which seemed like a long time). This 2nd release doubles that waiting time to 20 seconds. While the “Connection Lost” notice was on-screen, the running-time clock continued running. This resulted in wrong elapsed and remaining time estimates if the benchmark was resumed. That's fixed now.

Hi Steve, I am a bit behind on the podcasts and I'm trying to catch up in the newsgroups, but what happened to the pro version that was planned? I might be caught up with the newsgroup posts before I get a reply here, but I'll be buying the current version/offer on your site, regardless.

Thanks.

Instead of taking more time to create a “Pro” edition, I spent more time on a single “v2” edition, giving it most of the Pro features. I decided that I just wanted to have a single very capable release.
