Dynagen

Version 0.11.0 has (finally) been released. This is the exact same code as the previous interim build (080414). If you have not been following the interim builds, there are some significant enhancements in this version, most notably:
* Merge with ConfDynagen, which adds the dynamic configuration mode (among other things)
* Pemu inclusion for PIX emulation
* Much enhanced error reporting that should make it easier to spot errors in NET files
* Many bug fixes.

Big thanks to everyone who assisted and contributed code for release, including:
Contributing developer: Pavel Skovajsa (of confDynagen)
Pemuwrapper: Thomas Pani
Pemu: Milen Svobodnikov
The GNS3 team

And of course Christophe Filot as the author of Dynamips.

See the release notes and the tutorial for all the details. Download packages for Linux, OS X, and Windows here.

Updated builds have been posted to fix a major issue detailed here: http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?p=21164

Again, another set of interim builds have been posted for all platforms (see the release notes for changes). This update mainly includes fixes for dynamic configuration mode and ghostios, and some enhancements to the output of the idlepc commands.

If no show-stopper bugs are found, this code will become the 0.11.0 release.

Another set of interim builds have been posted for all platforms (see the release notes for changes). If they "run clean" for a while, this code will become the 0.11.0 release.

It's been a while since the last release, partially because there are some significant changes with the upcoming version. I've been working with Pavel Skovajsa to merge the confDynagen codebase into Dynagen, which adds a lot of great features like dynamic reconfiguration, Pemu server support (aka PIX emulation), and more. At the same time other features were added, bugs fixed, and error handling is vastly improved. But major changes means the possibility of major new bugs. So to get the current code into the hands of folks who can play with it and shake those bugs out I've posted a Windows installer and a linux tarball of the current SVN snapshot (OS X DMG will be posted soon).

Now the code seems pretty good to us, but if you don't want to chance wrecking your CCIE studying schedule you may want to wait for the the released version. There is a good chance that the interim builds will crash on your important NET files, burn down your garage, or maim small children. Plus the documentation has not been updated, so you are on your own to figure it it (but Pavel wrote some tutorials at http://code.google.com/p/confdynagen/wiki/pemututorial and http://code.google.com/p/confdynagen/wiki/configmodetutorial). But if you do decide to play with the new code please post about your experiences on Hacki's forum.

You can download the interim builds via the "Interim builds" link on the right hand side of the page.

Big thanks to Milen Svobodnikov for writing Pemu, Thomas Pani for writing Pemuwrapper, and to Pavel for his significant contributions to this release. And of course, continued thanks to Chris for Dynamips.
