Freeware AirPort Wireless Stumbler and Grapher for Mac OS X
1.2.1 November 2, 2007
[new feature] Newly designed larger icon.
[new feature] Added optional menu extra to display the comm quality as a percentage.
[new feature] Added option to speak comm quality as it changes.
[new feature] Scanner now remembers which column to sort by and by default sorts by signal.
[new feature] Minor internal updates.
[other] Dock icon graph now draws translucently on top of the dock icon and is based on the time elapsed rather than the number of samples elapsed.
1.2 October 28, 2007
[new feature] Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) compatibility resulting from a major internal re-write.
[new feature] Scanner now shows noise and MAC address in addition to other fields.
[new feature] Option to include or exclude ad hoc networks from the scanner list.
[new feature] Optional scan sound played at completion of each scan.
[new feature] Other small changes to the interface, preferences, and internals.
[bugfix] SNR (signal to noise ratio) should now be correctly computed and graphed in all cases.
[other] Removed ability to graph raw signals since it turns out that comm quality is just normalized raw (no need to have them both).
1.1 December 28, 2006
[new feature] Added toolbar button to open the Network System Preferences.
[new feature] Added count of discovered base stations to scanner.
[new feature] Base stations are now keyed based on their MAC address rather than name, so stations with duplicate names won't overlap each other.
[new feature] Added readouts of the time width and current transmit rate to the graph window.
[new feature] Dock icon graph now draws vertical user set marks like the full size graph and draws all the way across when the preference to fit to graph width is set.
[new feature] Preferences window now remembers which tab was previously selected and returns to it.
[new feature] Added option to save graph to a PDF or scan to a text file.
[bugfix] Signal, noise, and SNR graphs now jump to the bottom rather than the top of the graph when AirPort power is turned off or the connection is lost.
[bugfix] Fixed another memory leak; this appears to be the last one.
[bugfix] Addressed an issue which prevented the scanner from displaying nearby access points on some computers - particularly Intel based Macs. The names were spoken but not displayed.
[bugfix] Improved robustness of scanner in general.
[bugfix] Core 2 Duo laptops report the scanner signal strength in negative values whereas all other Macs seem to use positive values. Addressed an issue which could either cause a crash, or prevent the best signal strength from being colored correctly on these computers.
[other] Scanner and grapher now keep running even if all signals are lost or AirPort is turned off.
1.0 December 13, 2006
[new feature] Major rewrite which changes the way signal strength is obtained from the system.
[new feature] Now works with Intel based Macs such as the MacBook and MacBook Pro (universal binary).
[new feature] New scanner feature (similar to a stumbler, but only visible networks).
[new feature] Option to add vertical marks to the graph to compare signal strength at different times.
[new feature] Reorganized and hopefully simplified interface.
[new feature] New help documentation using Apple's help viewer.
[bugfix] Small memory leak fixed.
0.5.3 May 6, 2004
[bugfix] Fixed a number of possible issues with the size of the options drawer in different languages.
[bugfix] Bug where drawer didn't always fully reveal itself should be fixed.

[new feature] Added Finnish translation, no other changes. Same version number.
0.5.2 March 9, 2004

[new feature] Re-written from the ground up in Cocoa.
[new feature] Ability to change refresh rate.
[new feature] Colors of graphs are now saved.
[new feature] Ability to set buffer size.
[new feature] Cleaner resizing of the graph window.
