Change Log V-1.1.9 Build 1713

• StarV3 Common Changes
  • Resolved a problem that was introduced in 1.1.6 that quoted PPPoE "Access Concentrator" and "Service Name" parameters. This problem also has the rare chance of rendering a system unable to bootup properly, even if PPPoE services are not used. It is highly recommended to upgrade your 1.1.6 - 1.1.8 systems to 1.1.9, or downgrade to 1.1.4 to resolve the problem.

VDS has been updated to support group (multiple) connections per interface, and automatic CBQ shaping per instance. Fixed VDS issue where it could lose it's IP address after an activate changes.

• Caveats
  • VDS groups allow multiple connections per VDS interface, however there is no method to see which systems are connected outside of looking in the system log for connect / disconnect messages.

please read past release notes.

Change Log V-1.1.8 Build 1704

• StarV3 Common Changes
  • Added support for "ip" and "iptables" commands under the command prompt. (power users)

• X86-PC Specific Changes
  • Added support for the Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit cards.

• XSCALE-WAR Specific Changes
  • Added support for installing on stock Gateworks Avila GW2348 series of hardware. Read starv3-avila.pdf for instructions (provided with firmware download). Licenses can be obtained from the www.license-keys.com website much like the X86 releases.

• Caveats
  • PPPoE "Access Concentrator" and "Service Name" entries will get a pair of quotes whenever you start a new SSH session, and will remain there if you save your configuration without first removing them. This will be resolved in the upcoming 1.1.9 release. (problem occurs in v1.1.6-v1.1.8). Please read past release notes.
