This page documents the changes in STRIDE version 4.3.01x (code name Power Plant), released on Jun 9, 2011.

Please review this information before upgrading from an earlier version.

What's New

Based on customer feedback this release includes many key usability improvements and bug fixes.

Script Remoting

A full featured Perl Remoting API has been developed. Now you both "call" and "double" a function that exists on the target in a perl test module.

Tracing

The Tracing subsystem has been reimplemented. Now it allows tracing on any remote activity - test point/log, functions, messages, etc.

Posix SDK

A new Posix SDK (a generalization of previously existing Linux SDK) has been developed.
