What's new in Meerkat 1.5.3
May 10, 2010
- Allow reverse tunnels to make an endpoint available to the remote network, not just the remote host (corresponds to the: binding option on the -R argument).
- Fixed a few minor issues with license file handling and the application interface.
New in Meerkat 1.5.2 (Mar 23, 2010)
- Fixed an issue that prevented pasting text into the password prompt dialog.
- Fixed an issue with tunnel connection error detail text not showing up in the alert dialog on Mac OS X 10.5.
- Added a contextual menu item to allow easier editing of a tunnel's account from the tunnel list.
New in Meerkat 1.5.1 (Mar 5, 2010)
- Fixed a bug where other tunnels' statuses might not be accurately reflected when a new tunnel or account creation was cancelled.
- Added a minor feature where tunnel app triggers crashing will not bring their tunnels down.
- Fixed a bug where holding the Option key when selecting an active tunnel in Meerkat's status bar menu would no longer restart the tunnel.
- Added a preference for the tunnel retry interval multiplier. By default, it is 2x, so that the tunnel retries after 0 seconds, 2 seconds after that, 4 seconds after that, 6 seconds after that, etc. It can be adjusted up to 10x so that the intervals are 0 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, on up to 90 seconds from the previous tunnel retry.

- Any tunnels that are active at app quit are re-activated on next launch if launch happens within a minute or so.
