• Didyma has been changed to be able to completely monitor a service. In this version a start has been made by implementing SMTP and HTTP. This means that you can monitor your mail server by sending a mail and monitor your web server by retrieving a page. If this addition is appreciated by the users, other services may follow in future releases.
• The location of the log file cannot be specified anymore, for each modelfile Didyma will create a corresponding logfile in the ...\logs directory. The format of the entries in the logfile has changed a bit. For details see the Help file. Both changes are meant to improve the reliability of the logfile and the reports which are based upon the logfile.
• The Use Default Properties check box has disappeared, it was of little use and complicated the design of Didyma significantly.
• The Options|Services Window has disappeared, its function has been taken over at other places.
