Standard and Professional versions:

• added option to automatically create and update XML file with the current results and configuration (Configuration, Advanced Options) (*)
  
  
• added option to start short hardware S.M.A.R.T. self-test on IDE/S-ATA hard disks (Main window, Disk Information panel)
  
  
• added option to start extended and conveyance S.M.A.R.T. self-tests on IDE/ATA hard disks (if supported) (Main window, Disk Information panel) (*)
  
  (extended HARDWARE self-test: verifies all hard disk components and scan the surface for errors. Unlike software tests, the hardware test verifies weak and not perfect sectors and reallocates them to the spare area).
  
  
• date and results of last S.M.A.R.T. self tests are automatically saved, displayed and included in reports.
  
  Notes about self-tests:
  • when an error is found, the element causing the error (electrical, servo, etc.) is displayed
  • it is possible to use the disk during the self test. Usually the HDD LED is dark during the test but it may be audible that the disk is working
  • the test can slow down regular disk operations (and disk operations slow down the test). It is not recommended to perform too much disk operations during the test
  • "estimated test time" values are provided by the hard disk itself. The actual test may take much more time to complete
  
  
  
• HTTP server (WebStatus) option (Configuration, Integration) (*)
  If enabled, it is possible to examine disk status from a remote computer/phone/PDA by using a web browser. Optionally password can be used to prevent unauthorized access.
  Possible queries:
  • http://server:port/status   : displays status window (as configured) and it is automatically updated (by default in every 5 minutes). The window has no margins/borders and it is ideal to insert into any IFRAME of a webpage.
  • http://server:port/statuswin.bmp   : status window, but only the image (not updated automatically)
  • http://server:port/report   : detailed HTML report
  • http://server:port/xml   : complete XML report (see above)
  
  For example: if the option is enabled on the local computer and the default settings are used, enter http://localhost:61220/status into a browser to examine hard disk information
  
  It is possible to combine the status windows of different computers into a single webpage and use it to remotely verify the status of hard disk(s) in such computers.
  
  Notes: requests other than the above returns "403 Forbidden", all requests are logged with IP and date to "NetLog.txt" file. No file or other information can be retrieved by this function.
