This release introduces a number of new features, such as: a read-only mode in Settings Migration Tool;
improved logging; and an increase in the breadth of XPath expressions supported to describe
configuration. Performance during deployment has also been significantly
improved.
New features
- Very significant performance improvement (of up to 85%) during deployment.
- Settings Migration Tool now has a read-only mode. In this mode the tool performs all regular functions
except deployment, that is blocked to prevent accidents. Trigger read-only mode
by starting the tool with the --readOnly command line parameter. '(Read Only)'
will be indicated in the window's title bar. This is a per instance flag, so another
instance of Settings Migration Tool started in a normal way will have full functionality.
- Added Roster Logic Domain as a convenience type that can
be referenced from the rest of configuration.
- Added the interpretation for System Agents Agent
type.
- Xoom log files (in the XoomLog folder, here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Zany Ants\Xoom
) now
record not only a time stamp, but also the name of the user that triggered
deployment. If the user information is not available, the logging reverts to just
recording a time stamp.
- The variety of supported XPath expressions has been significantly increased. This means
that Xoom can now support the interpretation of significantly more complex
configuration structures without the need for customisation and coding.
