| Performance Enhancement 5.0.5 released! | 2011-09-26 12:57:16 |
DHCPatriot Performance Enhancement release 5.0.5 addresses the following problems:
- DHCP logs were creating a performance bottleneck when committed to the DB. They are now committed no more frequently than every five seconds or 100 lines, whichever comes first.
- If a user device is broken somehow and updates its lease several times per second, the DHCPatriot will ignore subsequent updates allowing only one update per second. This should keep impact at minimum.
- A memory leak was found and plugged on the DHCPatriot back-end.
What that amounts to is repairing three problems that could create performance issues on DHCPatriot systems. If your system is experiencing performance issues on 5.0.x, contact us today to setup a time for upgrade to 5.0.5.
If you are not currently experiencing performance problems, then you may safely wait until 5.1.0 to receive these performance enhancements. |

Today is a great milestone in the history of the DHCPatriot system! The long awaited version 5.0.0 has finally been released!
More than a year in development, this represents a complete re-write of the interface and back-end processes. The Operating System is also all new for version 5.0.0 containing updated Linux components.
For this reason, we have designated this release the Re-Launch Edition.
DHCPatriot customers with maintenance contracts will be contacted over the coming weeks to arrange for an update. Those who participated in Beta will be the first to be updated. Please contact us if you need version 5 installed as soon as possible.
For those who have not yet become DHCPatriot customers, there has never been a better time to buy a DHCPatriot system than at the release of version 5.
We have posted a new manual and quick start guide for version 5. |
