• New traceroute probe! In the hostname box, type 'T/name_or_ip' and it'll perform a traceroute right in a probe window. This feature will become more apparent in a future release, and additional probe types are planned. Eventually, the old separate traceroute window will go away.
• New option to log status changes to a text file. This option only writes to the log when a host goes down or up. The output is in a tab delimited format that is suitable for Excel or database imports. Note: vmPing does not lock the file, so logging will fail if the file is opened by Excel and vmPing tries to write to the file.
• Fix for vmPing no longer reading hostnames from the command line.
• New command line option to specify a file containing a list of hostnames. One host per line. The file is read at startup and vmPing immediately begins pinging each host. Remember to use quotes if your file path contains spaces. Usage: 'vmPing.exe <path_to_file>'
• Darkened the default color for DNS and traceroute probes. This is not yet customizable.
• The control bar that appears when you hover over a probe window is now darker (50% black with 50% transparency). The icons are now darker and the highlight style was changed to accommodate the new colors.
• Re-styled the custom dialog window so it's wider and uses a smaller font.
• Extra tooltips explaining the options under Options -> Log Output.
