Umit 0.8.2-testing release announcement

I'm pleased to announce the Umit 0.8.2 testing release. This release features some bug fixes and usability improvements. If you have the 0.8.1-testing, you're encouraged to download the 0.8.2-testing and use it instead. The 0.8.2-testing release is currently available for download at the source forge project page[1] in the following formats:
  • Source packages compressed in the formats: tar.gz, tar.bz2 and zip (Higwidgets included)
  • Windows installer with Umit and Higwidgets only
  • Windows installer with Umit, Higwidgets and every related dependencies
Windows users won't have any problem while installing Umit using the installers. I tested umit installers in Windows XP Professional (Without Service pack), Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.

Linux users should take a look at README file inside source packages for installation instructions.

* For detailed installation instructions, please visit this page[6] *

About this testing release:

This release features fixed bug that were reported by users, plus some usability improvements also suggested by them.

What's new?
  • Nmap colored output - Fixed a bug that was avoiding the highlight of some ports.
  • Bug Report error dialog - Fixed the bug that was showing the error dialog sayng that the bug was not sent.
  • Save results loaded from search - Now you're able to load a search result and save it in file
  • Fixed the Command Constructor Wizard bug, that was avoiding the use of a just created profile. Now you can create a profile and use it without the need of restarting the application.
  • Usability: added load on double-click feature at search window. Now, you can load a found result by double-clicking on it, instead of selecting it and clicking on the Open Button (you still can do so, if you like this way!).
  • Changed the Bug report key-stroke. It was the same used by the "New profile with selected" window. Now, the bug report key-stroke is CTRL+B.
  • Improved the Compare mode of the Compare Results window by making the parents reflect its children status. If a parent has a child with a status different from UNCHANGED, the parent will indicate this by showing its status as MODIFIED. This will help you find changes withou the need of openning everything you see.

Umit 0.8.1-testing release announcement

Folks, I'm pleased to announce the Umit 0.8.1 testing release. This release features the new Compare Results Window, and a few other usability and performance improvements. The 0.8.1-testing release is currently available for download at the source forge project page[1] in the following formats:
  • Source packages compressed in the formats: tar.gz, tar.bz2 and zip (Higwidgets included)
  • Windows installer with Umit and Higwidgets only
  • Windows installer with Umit, Higwidgets and every related dependencies
Windows users won't have any problem while installing Umit using the installers. I tested umit installers in Windows XP Professional (Without Service pack), Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.

Linux users should take a look at README file inside source packages for installation instructions.

* For detailed installation instructions, please visit this page[6] *

About this testing release:

The major diference you'll note on Umit, is the new Compare Results Window, that now, provides two diferent modes for scan comparison: The old text diff, that you may already know, and the Comparison mode, that shows you a cleanner view of what has changed from an scan to another without the need of know the diff symbols and behavior. Along with this brand new feature, you'll be able to customize the higlight colors with a few clicks.


Another feature is the bug report interface, that will allow you report a bug directly at the project bug tracker at source forge, without the need of moving your mouse off the application. With just a few seconds, you'll be able to tell us the issues you've found, and we'll be pleased to fix it as fast as we can. If you like the source forge bug tracker interface, there is no problem! You can use it as usual. Please, try to describe the bug as better as you can, making us able to reproduce it and found the issue. Try to send also the nmap command, output, and XML output that caused the problem. Try to be as clearer as possible, so I can fix it faster. ;-)

What's new?
  • Compare Results Window now features two modes, and highlight color customization
  • Usability improvements: now you can open umit and start typing the target address. The tab navigation experience was improved as well.
  • Bug report interface - Report a bug without the need of openning a web page, registering to the bug tracker, etc.
  • Performance improvements
