Waarp Gateway Update Release Notes
Main changes
OS Support
This release will be the last version to support Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012. An OS update is recommended to continue using Gateway and its new features.
Linux support has not changed, and the only prerequisite is a minimum kernel version 2.6.23.
More information:
SNMP Server
While version 0.10 brought an SNMP client that can send alerts to a hypervisor, version 0.11.0 adds an SNMP server.
With this addition, a hypervisor can query a transfer agent to know its status, the possible presence of transfer errors, or to detect whether it is running or not.

S3 Storage
After laying the foundations for cloud storage management in version 0.10, we are now adding a first connector for Amazon S3 instances and compatible services.

Application profiling
Gateway now allows to retrieve CPU and memory profiling data via the REST API. This allows to better diagnose certain bugs.

List of changes
New features
#347 All responses to requests made to the admin HTTP server now contain server information (including its version) in the standard Server header . Previously, this information was only returned in responses from the /api/about endpoint .
#394 Added REST requests to application logs. Requests made to the admin HTTP server are now logged at DEBUG level .
#409 Added pprof profiling tool to the admin server. This tool adds entry points to the admin HTTP server that allow to export various application activity profiles. For more details, see the public documentation of pprof and its HTTP handlers .
#54 Second part of adding SNMP service. An SNMP server has been added to retrieve diagnostic information. See SNMP MiB for more information. This SNMP server can be configured via REST API and terminal client.
The args and delay parameters of the various EXEC tasks , specifying respectively the arguments of the external program, and the time limit for the execution of the task, are now optional.
#380 Added support for S3 cloud instances. Transfer files can now be stored on an S3 instance. See thecloud section for more details.
Added CLI command for managing cloud instances.
Added cloud instance management to import/export file.
Fixes
#413 Fixed a bug that caused R66 partner authentication to fail when their password was entered via the protocol configuration ( serverPassword field ). Passwords entered via the R66 protocol configuration should now work correctly.
#414 The using parameter of the TRANSFER task , specifying the client to use for the transfer, is now optional. If the argument is not present, a default client will be used (if possible), in the same way as if the transfer had been created via the REST interface.
#412 Local clients & servers are no longer automatically started when created via the REST interface. A call to the start entry point is now required to start newly created servers and clients. Note however that the REST entry points for modifying and deleting local servers and clients will still have the effect of restarting and stopping the affected servers and clients, respectively.
Fixed an FTP connection leak. FTP client connections were not properly closed, which could lead to performance loss or even prevent new connections from being opened.
Added admin rights to the user object in the import/export file. Previously, a user's admin rights were lost when importing or exporting that user.
