Version FP1.89.343-RC1

The most important change in this version is the substitution of the internal web server by the Apache web server as the next step in our striving for gaining more stability, speed and flexibility by extracting code-modules from the Monitor one core and implementing them as separately running processes. In the beta previous version we already introduced the separately running Firebird SQL database engine as the substitution of the "old" embedded BDE.

1. Apache - Previous versions of Monitor one used an internal web server. In this version, Apache 2.0.39 for windows substitutes the old internal web server. The Monitor one installation executable includes a copy of the Apache installation file. It is recommended to use the default Apache installation settings!
2. Added support for moving device objects from one map to another.
3. Improved Error Control - Important improvements regarding the Error Control feature (EC). In previous Monitor one versions, EC only relied on the "connection information" it extracted from the map(s). This approach was no longer sufficient for the more complex network environments as of today with all kinds of redundancy. It could lead to incorrect interpretation of "Device down" events when, for instance, servers with multiple NICs where connected to multiple switches for reasons of redundancy. A new option that lets you set the "traffic forwarding" capabilities of devices at the Class level dramatically improves the working of EC.
4. A new backup approach. The "Midnight backup" option now makes full backups on month- and weekly basis and database-only backups on daily basis.
5. Some minor memory leaks were found (and solved) in Discovery and EM1
6. Added support for instance selection in MGrapher (the viewer for accessing History information)
