Change Log - Simple Port Forwarding - www.pcwintech.com

v2.2.0
Added http type so users can now choose http:// or https:// depending on what there router needs. Very few routers need https:// but some when connecting through remote management needs it.
Added a new tool to add the ports being forward to the windows firewall. this tool will add each port being forwarded to the windows firewall making one less step for the user to do :-) This comes in handy when you need to add a lot of ports! You may ask, well I will just add the program that needs the ports to the firewall, but this doesnt always work with suchs programs like a ftp server, IIS and a lot of programs that listen on a port but doesnt make out side connections, or programs that use multiple exe's and services. Some times you have to add the port to the firewall, this new tool will make that easier than ever.
Added a donate button to the main window. This is for mainly my benifit :-) If people like the program and have a few bucks to spare they can donate to me if they like. I want to keep all my programs free, so donate is the answer.
Fixed small bug where the program was miscounting the total of "Ports To Be Opened:" text.

v2.1.5
Program now handles when a page opens a new window. This Allows the program to now support routers that would pop open a new window with port forwarding.
More commands added to handle more routers.
Minor Bug Fixes.

v2.1.4
Added new setting to allow the user to set what port to connect through. This is needed for router pages that are not on the default port 80. Plus this also allows the user to connect to routers through their remote admin pages.

v2.1.3
Fix a bug that cause the program not to set the combo boxes on some router pages and would also keep the program from finishing the script.

v2.1.2
Redid some commands to handle more options.
fix bug where the view/remove ports button wouldn't load a page after you clicked the update router button.

v2.1.1
Added donate button under the help menu.
Added new File menu.
Added minimize button to the main program window.
Made the IP address boxes a little bigger.
Changed the 'Visit Website' under the help menu to go to the program page instead of the sites main page.
Added hotkeys to the menu.
Fixed tab order in the program.
Fixed some spelling errors.
Changed the programs exe name from Simple_Port_Forwarding.exe to spf.exe
Added new program update system for the program. Now when there is a new update to the program you can have the program download the new update and apply it automatically. Thus the user no longer has to download the new setup, the program will download the new exe, saving time and bandwidth for both the user and my site. Also the new update check only checks once per day when you open it.
Added new code so the program will now check if an entry name is already on the router page. If so it will skip that entry. Example: if you add some entries and click update router the router gets updated. You then add a new entry along with the other ones that have already been applied and you click on update router again, the program will now skip the ones that where already done as it will see the entry names on the page and skip those, thus only adding the new entry.
Changed a lot of code around and clean some things up, also added even more commands to handle more routers.

v2.0.4
Added a ton more commands to handle even more routers.
Redid a lot fo code making it more effecient.

v2.0.3
Added a lot more commands to handle more routers.
Improved some of the commands on how they handle the pages.
Added Silent mode, a user can control if the pages show script errors or popups.
Added a first time run window telling the user to make sure to update the database as new routers are being added all the time.

v2.0.2
Added more commands to handle more routers.
Fixed a few small bugs.
The user can now leave the username and password blank, when the program loads the router pages it will then pop up asking for the username and password. This is needed on some routers that don't like how the program passes the username and password.

v2.0.1
Added more commands to handle more routers.
Fixed a few spelling errors.

v2.0.0
The program is now free!

v1.3.0
update to support more routers.

v1.2.1
Added more commands to handle more routers.

v1.2.0
Added more options for routers.
Added more error handling.
Added more checks and balances.
Added new options to the router database for how many entries a router can hold, this helps when people try to add more than their router can handle.
Added splash screen so users can see the program has opened. (In previous versions the program would not open right away due to it connecting to the database, now the program does nothing till the splash is shown so the user knows the program is running)
Added an extra step in the "Getting Started" screen, it now informs the user to click the "View/Remove Current Ports" button and clean up any unneeded ports before adding the new entries.
Fixed bug where adding a new custom entry with the same name as another entry, the program didnt warn the user.
Fixed bug where if you tried to add a entry with the same ports as another entry but with different protocals the program still would't let you contine, saying the port was already in the list. The program nows checks the protocal as well so this doesnt happen again. Example Ports 45 - 50 on TCP and ports 45- 50 on UDP will no longer cause the warning.
Added Debugging mode option. This will allow the user to see which command is failing from a script if the program isnt working with their router.
Added new tool to help check if your ports are open and working with port forwarding.
Added support to handle pages with frames.
Added Pictures For Each Router In The Database.
