MiniEdit 2.1.0.2

I am releasing a new version of MiniEdit that incorporates the In-band Controller feature that I talked about in recent posts.  Complete change list it.

• In-Band Controller as a Controller option
• On the Switch Properties page, you can now set the Switch IP Address, which will be needed for the In-band Controller feature, as well as other purposes.
• Fix export for host IP addresses
• Fix setting of OpenFlow version

For the In-band controller feature, you still have to start the controller yourself.  It still acts the same as the Remote Controller.

MiniEdit 2.1.0.1

Mininet 2.1.0 is out, so I though I would drop in a new version of MiniEdit with a few new features.

• Preference to start CLI.  This will start the Mininet CLI in the window you started MiniEdit.  Note that there is a warning about this feature.  You will need to remember to ‘quit’ the CLI as well whenever you ‘Stop’ your mininet if you enable this feature.  By default, CLI option is off, but it can be turned on in the Preferences.
• Made some improvements to the Export code to also export all your Preferences.
• If you decide to upgrade your Open vSwitch in the VM to Open vSwitch 1.10 or higher, you now have the option in MiniEdit of choosing which versions of OpenFlow to enable.  OVS 1.10 added support for choosing 1.0, 1.2 and 1.3.
• A new feature in Mininet 2.1.0 is experimental support of Indigo Virtual Switch.  I have added a Preference so you can choose to use Indigo Virtual Switch or Open vSwitch.

MiniEdit 2.0.0.6

This is more of a bug fix release.  The only major change was that I rewrote the Export code to create a Python Mininet script instead of a Mininet Topology file.  Things are going to get complicated and creating a script instead would be easier.

• Change export file format from Mininet Topology file to Python script running Mininet.  More wiggle room.
• Update export file to include missing host opts, hwintf additions and controller setup.
• Fix bug in popup menues not working after loading saved file.
