3.73.0 (14 August 2008)

• Circuit, Node and Node Group objects removed.
• There were various other database changes. Communication Line renamed to Comm Link. Controller170 merged into Controller. Cabinet and Cabinet Style classes/tables added. These new classes are all SONAR based. This means new roles will need to be assigned to users change these objects.
• The "Sonet System" GUI completely replaced with a new "Comm Links" GUI. Some features are missing from this new interface (error counters and test communications), but they will be added back in a later version.
• The "log" database is no longer required for IRIS operation. Tables from "log" database moved to "event" schema in the "tms" database. This means the IRIS server requires one less connection to the PostgreSQL server. It also adds some foreign key relationships between the schemas. Some additional database scripts will be required to retain "log" database event history. Also, a cron task should be set up to remove old records from the event.comm_event table (many events will be created per day).

3.72.0 (23 July 2008)

• Location objects converted to SONAR. This involves database changes and RMI updates.

• There is a new property in iris-server.properties file: "sonar.session.file" controls location of session file. This file is updated whenever a user logs in or out of IRIS. It will be used for authenticating streaming video clients in the camera tab.
• Some work has been done to enable restricting camera images on the fly. This work is ongoing.
