1. Release Info

• Version : 3.3

• Release Date : 2014.02.14

2. Changes

Outline

• 单独jar包独立运行

• 用户只需要运行如下命令启动 nGrinder controller
  java -XX:MaxPermGen:200m -jar ngrinder-controller-X.X.war

• nGrinder controller war包同时兼容Tomcat启动和独立启动两种方式。管理员可以从controller下载 agents 和 monitors，普通用户则可以下载自己私有的agents和monitors。下载的agents和monitors是已经配置好的，无需用户配置。

• See new Installation Guide. 

• 更加稳定的controller-agent 连接

• 以前nGrinder controller在拥有内部和外部多个IP的服务器上运行会出现问题。例如 EC2 等。

• 现在controller会绑定全部IP，处理所有来自agent以及集群配置下与其他controller的网络通信。.

• 兼容IP6

• 简便的命令行操作

• 现在controller和agents有完备的命令行功能。可以添加 -h 查看提供功能。使用命令行可以使在同一主机上运行多个agent和controller变得更加简单。

• See Controller command line options and Agent command line Options.

•  Agent 自动更新功能

• 现在agent可以简单地通过点击更新按钮进行更新。
  See Agent auto update
