- difxwatch
- errormon
- errormon2

Version 2.5.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Post DiFX-2.4
* python functions errormon, errormon2, cpumon, mk5mon, statemon: explicitly capture ctrl-C
- seemingly needed for some operating systems ???
* mk5mon (ver 0.6):
- obtain station codes from difxdb (if enabled) and display them
- check for mk5daemon inactivity
- add options to set multicast group/port
- color coded output in case of errors
* Change name of .rpm to vlbi-difxmessage.*.rpm
* Added new messaging to start and stop fuseMk5

* Version for DiFX-2.4, Nov 4, 2014
Version 2.3.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* DifxMessageMk5Control message type added
* Version for DiFX-2.3, Dec 20, 2013
Version 2.2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Support for IPv6 within C code. Likely overall performance improvement at the same time
- python code, such as errormon, statemon, ..., are not yet converted.
- warning: all code linking to difxmessage that might use IPv6 should change
the size of from[] to DIFX_MESSAGE_MAX_INET_ADDRESS_LENGTH or face
possible segfaulting
NOTE: these changes have been backed out until a concurrency issue is fixed
After a period of deprecation finally removed difxMessageSendCondition(). Use
difxMessageSendDriveStats() instead.
Prefer to use new function DifxMessageSend2 over DifxMessageSend. It is more
efficient.
Allow spoofed hostname via the difxMessageInitFull() function. Perhaps useful in
cases where multiple interfaces exist on the same machine?
