Whats new?
cFosSpeed 4.50 build 1456 -- 10-Feb-2009
Added new skin: "LC History"; its like our well-known Liquid Crystal skin,
but with a history that scrolls to the left.
Added Layer-7 detection for large HTTP downloads (client and server).
HTTP transfers which take more than 1 sec. at full speed are now
classified as HTTP_C_BULK / HTTP_S_BULK and have low priority as
default. You can change the priority in the Layer-7 Protocol prioritization
dialog. Warning: This will only work, if the current HTTP connection
is not reused by the browser. Otherwise the first classification
will be used. The next version will remove this limitation.
Speeded memory allocation.
Improved detection of packets that NDIS sends erroneously to cFosSpeed.
x Added better handling of multiple but different SYN segments and improved
recovery after ACK for unsent data. Thanks to khashayar zayyani for help.
x Fixed a crash with Cisco Systems VPN Client. Thanks to Hardi Trenkel for
crash dump file.
x Adapters were sometimes unbound too fast, which caused Windows problems.
Fixed.
x It seems some networks trash the Ping IP packet when they return it to the
sender and cFosSpeed coulnt find the replies in its lists. Thus, we
relaxed the check a bit. Thanks to Deepak for bug report.
x Tried to fix problem with socket error sending pings that caused ping
balloons. Thanks to yen linh for report.
x Fixed a bug where cFosSpeed would not properly reset the <<bridged>>
setting when the router resets while cFosSpeed is running. Thanks to 4wd
for bug report and testing.
x Sometimes HTTP, SSL and SSH non-BULK l7-protocols would stay on default
priority even if the l7-protocol priority was set to high. Fixed. Thanks
to mumia for bug report.
x Fixed a crash under Vista that would close spd.exe. Thanks to SyntaX.
x Fixed x64 installer: now it pops up UAC dialog under Vista to make you full
Admin. This bug was introduced in build 1433.
x Fixed some Windows object security problems.
x L7 protocols SSL_C, SSL_S and SSH sometimes switched between _BULK and
regular versions periodically. This has been amended.
- Removed obsolete NDIS handler.
- Removed speed.gadget from distribution. It can now be downloaded from
our website.
