ZonarCom 3 Release Version 3.5.2 Build 109, February 24, 2010.



This release of ZonarCom 3™ is a maintenence release, correcting an issue with the calulation of the standard time/daylight saving time transitions, which affected the time displayed on 2010 screens (this issue affected the clock display on the 2010 screen only, as the time for reports and scans is stored and used internally as a UTC timestamp in the 2010).


3.5.2.109 (02/23/2010)

  • Release 3.5.2 (Build 109).
  • Corrects the calculation of the week in which the switch to and from DST occurs.

3.5.1.108 (10/07/2008)

  • Release Build 108 as version 3.5.1.108
  • Fixed a problem with anonymous uploads.
  • Updated DST time check logic for 2010 time checks.

3.5.0.107 (03/05/2008)

  • Release Build 107 as version 3.5.0.107
  • During auto-update, application could fail to properly notify auto-update that it is okay to exit the application for the update process to finish.
  • Refactored the config dialog further so that no bad password is persisted if the settings test fails.

3.5.0.106 (02/07/2008)

  • Added code to the config dialog to warn the user if they try to close the dialog when there are uncorrected invalid settings after a test upload has failed.
  • Added code to the config dialog to warn the user if they try to cancel the dialog when there are unsaved changes.
  • Added code to set the "Cancel" button to "Close" when there are no changes in the config dialog, and to "Cancel" when there are changes that are not stored.
  • Added the "Apply" button to the config dialog. If the user hits "Apply", the settings are stored, but the dialog is not closed.
  • Changed the config dialog so that if the customer, password, or any proxy information changes, the test upload is forced. The user no longer has the option of whether to test or not.
  • Added check to try to close ZFWP if ZonarCom3 exits while ZFWP is running.
  • Changed the default format that report files are stored in and uploaded to the server in from XML to raw.

  • EvirnetGps Only: Modified the way gps log data is retrieved from 900MHz units. Previously all data would be requested at once, but now a more contolled retrieval method has been implimented, which extracts the log data in smaller pieces increasing the efficiency at which the log data is retrieved
  • An API change was made on a method that was used to retrieve the battery voltage value from an EvirnetGps device. A change was required in order to accomodate the API change.
3.4.3.103 (09/01/2006)

3.4.1.96 (05/02/2006)

3.4.1.95 (04/28/2006)

  • Added retention of the state (visible/hidden) of the error log, radio status and report status log windows.
  • EVIRNET Only: Fixed a bug due to the ability to handle multiple types of assets, the tag id may match between assets of different types.

3.4.1.94 (04/07/2006)

  • Internal 3.4.1 Build 94 Test
  • Due to unchecked buffer control in sprintf(), wvsprintf(), strcpy() and the like, StrSafe was introduced into the project, forcing the conversion of all non-safe string function calls to new strsafe.h equivalents.
  • EVIRNET ONLY: If there is a 2010 communication failure, the status string will display 'In Yard, Contact Error'
  • EvirnetGps: Added in a firmware verison check to set the header version in the log file

  • Internal 3.4.1 Build 93 Test
  • EVIRNET Only: When storing the configuration the min/max loop times will be reset
  • EvirnetGps Only: Added in gps log file compression support. This helps minimize the amount of data transferred over a network.

  • The radio in range confirmation count will be skipped if the device is an EvirnetGps device. Other means to identify when the device is in range has been implimented

3.4.0.92 (02/15/2006)

  • Release 3.4.0 Build 92.
  • A new dialog has been added to display some information from the EvirnetGps unit. This dialog is accessed by right clicking on an EvirnetGps device entry in the radio status dialog and then selecting the EvirnetGps menu option.
  • EvirnetGps support has been added.
  • In the configuration dialog, the lower range for the 'Out of range confirmation count' has been lowered from 3 to 1. Default is 3.

3.4.0.90 (02/08/2006)

  • Added an EvirnetGps menu option to the dropdown menu when right clicking on an asset entry in the radio status window.
  • EVIRNET ONLY: When done servicing an EvirnetGps unit, switch port control off of the radio.
  • EVIRNET ONLY: Changed the default in range confirmation count from 3 to 2.
  • During application startup, a check for existing EvirnetGps log files is performed. If files exist they will be uploaded to the target account if an internet connection is present.
  • EVIRNET ONLY: Prefixed the string 'GPS' to the status string displayed in the radio status window.
  • Support was added to identify EvirnetGps devices as well as extract the log data.
  • Added checkbox option to config settings for auto-upload of reports. If it is unchecked, reports will be queued locally and will only upload if the user selects "Upload Unsent Reports" from the menu or the report status window.
  • Added fix for bug in string class where assignment of one string to another does not create a copy, but assigns the new string a pointer to the original string. Changes in the new string (such as upcasing the chars) performs the changes on the pointer, which changes the original string (bad!).
  • Added support to upload Gps log files to the target account.
  • EVIRNET only. Modified the frequency of when the ack enable byte is checked. Once per hour is the current rate.
  • Added GPS communication support.
  • Added a new ini file setting to indicate which hour of the day to begin extracting GPS logs.

  • If Asset Tracking is not active, radio In/Out status will not be posted to the account.
  • Added an entry in the new "Asset Tracking" section for 'Assets must be "out" for at least ___ minutes before being marked "in" again.' The setting is propagate through the INI file, and a global variable contains this value.
  • Added new "Asset Tracking" checkbox/section to the config dialog. When the box is checked, options within the section are enabled if the devtype is RADIO. The checkbox setting is propagated through the INI file, and a global variable contians this value.
  • Added code in init to call ProcessUpdateStatusLog() to handle any error logs produced during an update attempt.
  • Switched the CURL timeout for downloading the update package from using the report timeout to using the log timeout, giving it more time for the transfer.
  • Added updating and clearing of the retry count in the INI file for update attempts.
  • Added complete removal of the temp folder (and all files it contains) prior to downloading the update package. This ensures we don't slowly build up files in the users temp directory.

3.2.0.70 (05/09/2005)

  • PERMISSION UPDATE: Minor change to perm settings -- perms on "%COMMON_APPDATA%\Zonar Systems" are still the same (OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE inheritance), but for "%COMMON_APPDATA%\Zonar Systems\%EXE_NAME%", the inheritance is now OJECCT_INHERIT_ACE | CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE, which means that folders under the EXE data folder here will inherit the perms we create for EVERYONE user.

  • If the server time is unavailable and we go to display an entry in the radio status window, it will now display 'Unable To Access Server Time' in the place of the actual IN/OUT time display.
  • Added "RestartMe()" to the project, which spawns a new app, rdaemon.exe, which in turn waits for ZC3 to exit, and then restarts it.
