What´s New in version 11.3:

• Numerous interface improvements.
• The 'Email Errors To' field now supports multiple email addresses. Separate them with a comma or semi-colon.
• When a query error occurs, the popup window is now displayed after the error is logged and emailed.
• When the Internet connection is lost, a DNS resolution error was remaining cached for 1 hour, making it necessary to close and restart Connection Keeper. This cache lifetime has been reduced to 1 minute.

What´s New in version 11.2:

• Added the '/close' command line switch. When specified along with the '/qa' switch, Connection Keeper will terminate immediately after the Query All tool is finished.
• Fixed: if the computer runs more than 24 days without rebooting, Connection Keeper would begin issuing a query every 2.5 seconds.
• Fixed: the tray context menu was not responding to keystrokes, and not disappearing when the user clicks away (since 11.0).
• Fixed: when 'Animate Tray Icon' is unchecked, the tray icon was showing a solid bar even after the query finishes.

What´s New in version 11.1:

• Fixed: on the first run, the window position was not being initialized properly.

What´s New in version 11.0:

• Major interface improvements, too many to list. Added support for Aero Glass (Vista/2008/7). Improved appearance, layout, margins, skins.
• The tabs have been replaced with a row of buttons.
• Added a high resolution shell icon for Vista/2008/7.
• Added the /qa command line switch, which causes the 'Query All' tool to run immediately.
• Added the 'View Error Log' option to the File menu.
• Added a hotkey for the 'Query All' tool: F7.
• The Method column now defaults to 'WM_CLOSE'.
• Care is now taken to not issue queries while the user is editing the Sites List.
• When the Query Now button is clicked, a query will be issued even if the operating system is reporting that there is no Internet connection.
• Fixed: the 'Auto-Minimize On Startup' option was always minimizing Connection Keeper to the tray, contrary to the documentation. It will now only minimize to the tray if the 'Minimize to Tray' box (on the Window menu) is checked, as documented. Also, it will now minimize silently, and without briefly appearing on the screen.
• Fixed: the /wmclose and /wmquit command line switches were not working properly.

What´s New in version 10.0:

• Added the 'Query All' tool to the File menu.
• Added support for verifying the contents of a DNS record. In the Sites List, follow the URL with a tab, then the correct value of the DNS record.
• Added support for querying a DNS blacklist. The Sites List can contain a URL with the 'dnsbl://' prefix followed by a domain name or IP address.
• Added additional command-line switches for closing windows. The /wmclose switch will close the window by sending a WM_CLOSE message. The /wmquit switch will close the window by sending a WM_QUIT message. The /keys switch will send keystrokes to the window.
• Added the 'Popup' menu.
• Added the 'Favorites' tab to the help file.
• When a command line is specified, other instances of Connection Keeper will no longer close.
• The Default skin now conforms with the appearance of Windows 7. The original default skin has been renamed 'Experience'.
• Numerous improvements to the 'Check For Update' tool.
• The Send Feedback and Report Exception features now use HTTP to deliver the information to Gammadyne. The old SMTP method is only used as a fallback if HTTP fails. This is necessary because some ISP's only allow SMTP to their own mail servers.
• Fixed some minor incompatibility issues with Vista/2008/7.

What's New in version 9.1:

• Added the F5 hotkey for issuing a query.
• Added the F6 hotkey for killing popup windows.
• Fixed: the installer was not requiring administrator elevation on Vista/2008/7 (since 9.0).

What's New in version 9.0:

• Added the ability to query DNS records.
• Added the "/min" switch, which will cause the main window to be minimized.
• Added the ability to "comment out" a line in the Sites list by placing a semi-colon at the beginning of the line.
• Most icons have been replaced or improved.
• The "Log Errors To File" feature now maintains the log in CSV format. It will also include the error code and error message.
• If an error occurs when querying a URL, the query interval will start over after the error window is closed.
• A query error will now format the current date/time using the computer's locale settings.
• Improved the installer's appearance.
• Fixed: while minimized to the tray, choosing "Keep Connection Alive" from the context menu was causing the tray icon to revert to a taskbar button.
