The script references to HTTP headers are generated incorrectly, usually resulting in an invalid script. This is tracked as bug 3511553 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;aid=3511553&amp;group_id=18598&amp;atid=118598). This is the second time in recent history I've released The Grinder with a significant new bug. I'm going to have to improve my release QA, perhaps with some volunteer beta testing. - Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure </pre> Philip Aston 2012-03-27T06:48:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.grinder.announce/133 <pre>The Grinder 3.8 can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/grinder Fixes to the TCPProxy. - Phil The Grinder 3.8 --------------- Fix bug 3471476 - Null Pointer Exception in the TCPProxy when making multiple connections through a chained HTTPS proxy.

Clojure script recording. Bug fixes. Maven build. - Phil The Grinder 3.7 --------------- Changes that may be incompatible with existing scripts: Implement feature request 3418525 - Switch to a standard logging framework. The net.grinder.common.Logger/FilenameFactory API has been removed in favor of SLF4J. Output and error messages are logged to a single log file. The log file and the data log file are managed by Logback. The Grinder requires Java SE 6 ("Java 6") or later. Java SE 5 is no longer supported. Other changes: The Java instrumenter supports selective instrumentation of a target object through an overloaded version of Test.record(). The full HTTPRequest interface can be used with DCR instrumentation without requiring a replacement for the traditional instrumenter's __target__. Fix bug 3006631 - Null pointer exception when posting multipart form data. Thanks to Edwin Clubb for the report, and to Ouray Viney for testing the fix. Fix bug 3431764 - DCR instrumentation fails with Java 7. Thanks to Gary Mulder for the report. Fix bug 3133650 - Relative classpath issues when using the console. The agent process translates relative paths in the classpath to the different working directory when workers are launched with scripts distributed by the console. Thanks to Jared C for the report. The Grinder is built using Apache Maven. Tentative fix for bug 3459637 - AWT-EventQueue NullPointerException. Thanks to Richard Lynch for the report. Fix bug 3464547 - DCR instrumentation of unbound PyMethods doesn't work. Fix bug 3464533 - DCR instrumentation of bound PyMethods doesn't work. The TCPProxy can be called with "-http clojure" to generate a Clojure script. The TCPProxy can be called with "-http jython" to generate a Jython script that uses the new (DCR) instrumentation. DCR instrumentation will be enabled by default in the next release of The Grinder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 </pre> Philip Aston 2012-01-15T14:28:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.grinder.announce/129 <pre>The Grinder 3.7 can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/grinder Logback logging.

Secondary goal was to add compatibility with recently release Jython 2.5.0 and 2.5.1. I am glad to state that both goals were achieved and latest release of GrinderStone is supporting various platforms and combinations of components. Another good news is that we have finally tested and may prove that GrinderStone is compatible with the latest Mac OS operating system (Leopard version is tested). What is GrinderStone Many engineers (testers, developers) who are using The Grinder to do some testing are facing a lack of debugging capabilities in The Grinder. In many cases this problem increasing time and effort to create more robust and extensible scripts or frameworks. An effort was made to help us, users of The Grinder, to make our work easier. The GrinderStone project is an Eclipse plugin, that allow user to utilize powers of IDE to develop and debug The Grinder scripts inside one the preferred IDE: Eclipse. As Eclipse and The Grinder, GrinderStone is cross-platform. It can work in any environment where Eclipse and The Grinder are supported. Users are not limited any more to only Windows operating Systems. Plugin supports two execution methods: 1. Run The Grinder scripts under Eclipse IDE as a typical Grinder script (i.e. no debug cabalities) 2. Run The Grinder scripts under Eclipse IDE in Debug Mode System Requirements: - OS: Windows XP or newer, Mac OS 10.6 (Leopard), any Linux environment - Java: JDK 1.5 or newer - Eclipse: 3.3 or newer - PyDev: 1.5.0 or newer - Jython: 2.2.1 or newer What new: - support for Eclipse 3.3 Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5 - support for The Grinder 3.1 and 3.2 and 3.3 - support for latest versions of PyDev Eclipse plugin - added compatibility with Jython 2.5 and newer What was fixed: - Issue 17: JVM arguments are not honored GrinderStone home site: http://code.google.com/p/grinderstone/ GrinderStone binaries: http://grinderstone.googlecode.com/files/com.googlecode.grinderstone_2.5.0.zip GrinderStone sources: http://grinderstone.googlecode.com/files/com.googlecode.grinderstone_2.5.0_src.zip Update site to access from Eclipse Update manager: http://grinderstone.googlecode.com/svn/update ------------------------ The GrinderStone Team: Andruschuk Borislav, Isaev Andrey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel&amp;#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

New release contains: 28 new graph types, 19 new views (plus their associated materialised views), 6 new stored procedures, too many bug fixes and a partridge in a pear tree (though I feel I may have missed the Christmas deadline....) Percentiles: Calculate the percentile range for elements &amp; pages using new stored procedures for calculation &amp; new graphs for presentation. Concurrent Users Vs: Look at how metrics vary with increase/decrease in concurrent users with new views/materialised views for data &amp; new graphs for presentation. Reports should be more robust for both HTTP and NORM data types. HTTP Data from scripts that were created without the help of the HTTP proxy can be used to create reports now. (Caveat - the db will still treat tests ending in 00 as pages) Refactored/cleaned up the code and added more validation. Updated documentation/website Numerous bug fixes and tweaks More details in the changelog. Source code is now in a git repository hosted on SourceForge...i think someone had requested that way back when.

Experimental support for Jython 2.5, and instrumentation from within Java. - Phil The Grinder 3.3 --------------- Changes that may be incompatible with existing scripts: The Grinder now requires J2SE 5.0 ("Java 5"). J2SE 1.4 is no longer supported. Fix bug 2315181 - Classpath of distributed jars. When distributing scripts from the console, the worker process working directory is now the root of the local cache directory. This allows scripts to refer to distributed resources using relative paths. Thanks to ujik for reporting this. Other changes: The TCPProxy now supports HTTPS proxies that use challenge/response authentication protocols such as NTLM and Negotiate. This will allow scripts to be recorded through such a proxy, but are no plans to add support for replaying scripts through the proxy. Thanks to Suvendu Kumar Mohapatra for extensive testing of candidate patches. The stream support for HTTPRequest introduced in 3.2 has been enhanced to use the Content-Length header if provided. This allows the stream to be sent directly to the server without buffering, whether or not HTTP/1.1 chunking is available. Thanks to Walter Tuvell for the requirement and extensive testing. Add HTTPRequest.getPluginProcessContext() so subclasses outside of the Java package can access the process context. This is useful when following the advice in the setReadResponseBody documentation. Thanks to Walter Tuvell for the requirement. Updated Spanish translation from Antonio Manuel Muñiz Martin. Updated Polish translation from from KArol Muszynski. The Grinder now always uses the Java 5 System.nanoTime() method for timing. The grinder.useNanoTime property has been removed. Fulfil feature request 1949447. A new, alternative instrumentation engine has been introduced. This allows new capabilities, including the ability to instrument code from within Java. The new instrumentation engine requires Java SE 6. Fulfil feature request 2907553. The Grinder 3.3 supports Jython 2.5 and Jython 2.5.1. This support is based on the new instrumentation engine. The default, included version of Jython remains Jython 2.2.1. Thanks to Chris Cooper for the request. Fix bug 2686259 - Java 1.5 compilation fails in Eclipse.
