I decided today to give all the benefits from Paypal registration to the National Disaster Relief Fund of the American Red Cross. Register now and help the victims of Tuesday's attacks and their families.

The 2.1 is available at least!
The Userinterface bug where the controls are shifted to the right/bottom has been fixed.
The DtDNS service support has been updated.
A new option has been added to help me fix an issue (Engine badly reporting to the NT service manger).
Contact me if you think the engine is not starting correctly under your NT box...

The final 2.0 is available ! It's very close to the RC3.
Service dyn.ca has been added (However, the update protocol doens't allow DU to specify the IP address yet...)
View the Help file for more info on dyn.ca support.
Enjoy the official 2.0 !

Hey, my wife just gave me another sweet baby monday night.
He is a boy, his name is Jules !
So, my work on DirectUpdate will be a little bit slowed down for some days (maybe weeks)...
Thx

Version 2.0 is on track. Development is about 90% done.
I think I could post the ReleaseCandidate 1 on the site in a few days...
This version is a major improvement, and communication process between the "admin" (ex config) and the "engine" (ex service) has been totally rewritten.
you will be able to administer DirectUpdate via the web !
For dyndns.org users, a new web IP detection algorithm will be use to conform to the dyndns policy.

Just to let you know, I'm working on DirectUpdate 2.0 !
The service (renamed "engine") will work on 95/98/Me !
But of course, it is still going to run as a native NT service.

New features added in 2.0:
- Run under 95/98/Me/NT4/2000.
- Proxy server support.
- Email notification.
- WebAdmin - administration from your browser ! (Still to be defined).

Any ideas about features missing in DirectUpdate (or ddns services to add) will be more than welcome and appreciated.
Thx.
