New Features/Minor Improvements:

• (September 10, 2004) Added ability to subscribe interface limits to real-time values
• (October 12, 2004) Added support to show a list of alias subscriptions for an object by right-clicking on a data record in a case information display.
• (November 24, 2004) Modified the reading of a text data source so that it properly reads text data sources that are marked as read-only files. Previously this caused a problem.

Bug Fixes:

• (September 10, 2004) Fixed interface fields so that they do not always show MW flows in absolute value.  Previously you could not see negative MW flows on an interface when in real-time mode.  This has been changed so that the absolute value is only applied when the oneline display option regarding showing Interface Flows as Absolute values is chosen.
• (October 12, 2004) Fixed error  with creating a reverse subscription for a line record.
• (October 12, 2004) If the log directory did not exist when started up, then Retriever will raise an invalid filename error.  Retriever will now locate the system temp directory and use this instead.
• (December 14, 2004) Fixed bug when saving the Retriever Configuration File so that it properly saved the "loc" value for the line subscriptions. Previously it was messing up the file save so that the "to" end subscriptions were all being referenced to the "from" end.
• (January 13, 2005) Removed the reporting by exception for PI sources. This has been fully implemented into the Retriever 11.0 release due out around March 2005. It was not completed for the 10.0 patch version, but was temporarily available which caused some problems.
• (January 28, 2005) Fixed error when reading Retriever Configuration file if the <LOC> section was omitted from the a line's alias subscription description.
• (February 23, 2005) Modifed so that a Data Source is set to enabled by default. Related to this, a bug was fixed so that Data Sources which were disabled are properly skipped for data retrieval.
• (March 21, 2005) When using the alias maintenance tool to look for new alias definitions, the creation of new aliases would not always work correctly.  This has been fixed.
