12: 
13: |=Revision|=Description|=Author|=Date
14: |[[1.13>>attach:nwam-1.13.0.pdf]]|Add Refresh button to Wireless Chooser dialog.|Calum Benson|2009 Nov 4
15: |[[1.12>>attach:nwam-1.12.0.pdf]]|Remove functionality that won’t make it into Phase 1: Network Services tab, ability to rename Locations and VPN Applications once committed to system, ability to rename NCUs, wireless security types other than WEP and WPA Personal, option to join an open network if no favorite networks available, and all "Ask Before" options on wireless tab. Minor tweaks: clicking panel icon should open Network Prefs rather than Location Prefs dialog, and Connection Properties view now only shows manually enabled NCUs, plus NCUs in the active priority group.|Calum Benson|2009 Oct 14
16: |[[1.11>>attach:nwam-1.11.0.pdf]]|Updates to Connection Properties, Connection Status and Network Profile views to accommodate possibility of simultaneous DHCP and static IPv4 connections, and to reflect the source of IPv6 addresses (static, stateful or stateless).|Calum Benson|2009 Aug 17
17: |[[1.10>>attach:nwam-1.10.0.pdf]]|Revert erroneous bits about Automatic NCP now being editable (it’s not), and update Locations dialog and panel icon submenu for latest proposal in bug #9561.|Calum Benson|2009 Aug 07
18: |[[1.9>>attach:nwam-1.9.0.pdf]]|Updates related to bug numbers 9561 (two extra controls in Locations dialog), 9653 (Automatic profile should be editable), 9705 (User profile should be created on demand), 9495 (wireless-related menu items should be disabled/hidden depending if wireless NIC disabled/not present), 9821 (remove "ask before joining any favorite network" option), and 9646 (remove IPSec Key configuration). |Calum Benson|2009 Jul 30
19: |[[1.8.4>>attach:nwam-1.8.4.pdf]]|Incorporate final activation status icons from Bruce. |Calum Benson|2009 Apr 27
20: |[[1.8.3>>attach:nwam-1.8.3.pdf]]|Minor terminology change, from "Location Preferences dialog" to "Network Locations dialog", for consistency and to better reflect purpose. |Calum Benson|2009 Apr 06
21: |[[1.8.2>>attach:nwam-1.8.2.pdf]]|Change menu item from Preferences>Location to Admin>Network Locations, since these are system-wide settings, not per-user. Change what happens if user inputs a CIDR (w.x.y.z/n) IP address (no longer try to convert it and display it as separate IP/subnet fields, but just disable the subnet field instead. Rationale: generally better to show the user’s data in the format *they* prefer, where possible.). Include the location name in the condition text for location rules dialog. Show wired icon on panel instead of old NWAM icon, if no wireless interfaces present. A couple of other doc cleanups that don’t affect functionality. |Calum Benson|2009 Mar 26
22: |[[1.8.1>>attach:nwam-1.8.1.pdf]]|Update Name Services tab to include Servers field for LDAP (unintentionally omitted from v1.8), hide the Advanced button from the Connection Status view for Phase 1, and replace inconsistent usage of "Profile" and "Connection Profile" with "Network Profile" on panel menu and in Connection Status view.|Calum Benson|2009 Mar 18
23: |[[1.8>>attach:nwam-1.8.pdf]]|Update Network Profile view, Name Services tab, VPN Applications dialog and list of available Rules to match latest NWAM spec and improve usability.|Calum Benson|2009 Mar 11
24: |[[1.7.1>>attach:nwam-1.7.1.pdf]]|Allow multiple BSSIDs to be associated with an ESSID, and fix a copy/paste error in the first panel status icon table.|Calum Benson|2009 Jan 29
25: |[[1.7>>attach:nwam-1.7.pdf]]|Multiple changes to reflect latest version of [[NWAM Phase 1 functional spec>>Project nwam.p1spec]]. Primarily: support priority groups in network profile view; support conditional locations and ENMs; updated Security (previously IPfilter) and Network Services tab in Location Properties dialog. Task flow improvements: show wireless strength in notification icon; separate location switching and editing into different dialogs; pull condition editing out into a separate dialog rather than using expander widgets.|Calum Benson|2008 Dec 22
26: |1.6|Incomplete update for internal review; not uploaded to website.|Calum Benson|2008 Oct 24
27: |[[1.5>>attach:nwam-1.5.pdf]]|Changes as per [[proposal>>http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=166690]]. Also: update icons to match preview of delivery from visual designers; some additional panel context menu re-arrangement (p2); notification balloon simplification (p4); addition of a more general "Repair" button in the status window (p7); layout changes to wireless-related menus and dialogs to accommodate icon delivery. Removed storyboard section at end of document until it can be properly updated to match spec (v1.5.1 reflects this change on the Contents page, which I forgot to update at the time~-- there are no other changes in v1.5.1).|Calum Benson|2007 Nov 8
28: |[[1.4>>attach:nwam-1.4.pdf]]|Applet redesign (now a single icon again), support switching environments and wireless networks manually, add Proxies tab to Environment dialog, remove hostname/domain/router controls until interaction with Duckwater name services management is clarified, simplify IPv6 controls, update available wireless security types, change ’preferred networks’ to ’favorite networks’.|Calum Benson|2007 Jun 20
29: |[[1.3>>attach:nwam-1.3.pdf]]|First version of this design posted to opensolaris.org. Separate out Environment dialog, add support for multiple IP addresses and VPN. Revised JDS applet design.|Calum Benson|2007 May 18
30: |[[1.2>>attach:nwam-1.2.pdf]]|Numerous updates based on team comments.|Calum Benson|2007 Mar 26
31: |[[1.1>>attach:nwam-1.1.pdf]]|First version of this design.|Calum Benson|2007 Mar 14
