Change Details

Fixes

This section describes defects which have been corrected in STRIDE and the customer tracking number associated with them, if any, in brackets [].

• The license files could be overwritten on Linux with roaming home directories.
• In Windows SDK timer resolution was set too high.

• Generated IM might omit a warning when compiled.
• STRIDE custom rules for Visual Studio were run every time.
• In STRIDE Studio Trace Views had several minor defects.

Test Points

• A Test Point now supports optional binary or string payloads.
• The check/wait on Test Points now is always exclusive against "my set of Test Points" defined with two groups - expected and unexpected.
