This will allow users with software maintenance to download and use the latest RSM from our web site. - Fixed minor bug where a non-ANSI function was reported for an array declaration and initialization which spans multiple lines. 11/1/1998 Version 4.06 - Modified cyclomatic complexity metric to match McCabe's definition by including "for" loops into the metrics, but added a configuration parameter to prevent for loops from being included in the cyclomatic complexity. - Added a new license file format for allowing those users with software maintenance to directly download the latest version from the web without the license version check. 10/1/1998 Version 4.05 - Added a configuration setting for RSM to create relative HTML hyperlinks. The default setting is for RSM to create literal file names for HTML hyperlinks. - Fixed a bug introduced which ignored non-ANSI function headers. 9/21/1998 Version 4.04 - Modified parser to make blank lines in C style comments to be represented as blank lines and not count as comment lines. - Added configuration settings for the maximum line length and maximum function name length quality checks. 9/1/1998 Version 4.03 - Added HTML documentation to the base distribution. Text files, except for readme.txt, are eliminated. Enhanced parser to address minor parsing issues for single line functions. 8/9/1998 Version 4.02 - Visual C++ editor does not place end of line characters at the end of the last line in a source file. When the last line of code contains one character then an EOF instead of an EOL + EOF (end of line and end of file), RSM would miss the last character assuming it was a single '\n'. RSM now examines the last character of each line to ensure that an editor properly terminated each line and parses the source code accordingly. - Fixed Java compatibility for assignments of arrays within class data structures. - Fixed RSM trying to open txt, htm or html files from some shell interpreters using wild card arguments. - Enhanced Java source code parsing. 6/24/1998 Version 4.01 - Fixed a bug in the HTML hyperlinks for relative file names like (./foo/star.cpp). - Fixed a bug in the HTML hyperlinks for NT 5/17/1998 Version 4.00 - Added HTML reports with color and hyperlinks to code. - Enhanced complexity metrics to include functional interface complexity which is the measure of input parameters and return state. - Added metrics differential percent by file. - Added estimation metrics from eloc and function metrics which mirror function point estimation. - Metrics per class and class implementation. - Added a license file for distributions called rsm.lic. - Added configuration file called rsm.cfg. - Reformatted reports. 1/17/1998 Version 3.06 - Added Notice for embedded classes. 01/07/1998 Version 3.05 - Added support for Java files and initialization in class specifications consistent with Java grammar. - Modified parser constructs for Java. 12/03/1997 Version 3.00 - Added functionality for NT 4.0 long filename. - Upgraded parser functionality. - Added expanded template and class metric support. - Added work files for metrics differentials. - Added comment extraction for documentation export. 10/19/1997 Version 2.70 - Fixed a MSDOS anomaly when a file contains only a single carriage return. Rearranged function reports to be easier to read. 08/31/1997 Version 2.60 - Added enum counts to identify the enumeration use in the code. General cleanup and commenting of source code in preparation for next version. 08/25/1997 Version 2.52 - Structure counts now reflect actual data definitions, not the use of the key word "struct". This matches the use of the "class" keyword, where "class" identifies a data structure not a declaration. 08/22/1997 Version 2.51 - Fixed minor grammar error in 1 notice. - Function summary reports physical lines instead of logical lines. 8/5/1997 Version 2.50 - Added more informative help - Changed the configuration query to match help structure - Added recursive descent of directories with the -r option. - Added full C++ keyword checking for C files. - Added -T mode for simple grand total output 7/28/1997 Version 2.41 - Fixed minor bug in parser for function names. 7/12/1997 Version 2.40 - Minor formatting fixes 7/10/1997 Version 2.31 - Fixed comparative complexity to only reflect the comparisons in the if and while conditions. 07/08/1997 Version 2.30 - Enabled Long File Names for Windows 95. - Long file names for NT will be enabled in release 3.0 of RSM ( Fall 97 ) do to the 32 FAT of NT. - Added read from filelist capability with the -F option. 06/23/1997 Version 2.21 - Removed bitwise operations from comparison complexity measurements. Comparison complexity now indicate the complexity of the tests which 05/05/1997 Version 2.20 - Added class line emission and fixed some spelling errors. 04/14/1997 Version 2.17 - Add -i switch to report class names. 04/10/1997 Version 2.16 - Improved parsing algorithm for class names. 04/09/1997 Version 2.15 - Improved parsing algorithm for function names. 03/24/1997 Version 2.14 - Fixed a slight bug where on Solaris, passing rsm - or rsm -v with no file name caused a segv. 03/14/1997 Version 2.13 - Added the terse report for automated processing - Changed logic complexity to be compliant with McCabe Cyclomatic complexity. 03/13/1997 Version 2.12 - Fixed spelling and help messages - Fixed bug in getting the function name - Fixed removal of whitespace for preprocessor directives 03/11/1997 Version 2.11 - Added the "?" operator for quality notices 02/26/1997 Version 2.10 - Added getopt for full Unix switch compliance 02/18/1997 Version 2.02 - Fixed minor formatting bugs 02/15/1997 Version 2.01 - Fixed ) = for beginning of keyword/functions - Fixed paren count for scope determinations 1/20/1997 Version 2.0 - Added function counts and metrics - Added file counts - Restructured output and parameters - Added variable output - Added memory alloc/dealloc counts - Added notices for common quality concerns - Added query for quality notices - Added functional and file complexity 10/28/1996 Version 1.6 - Added metrics for _exit() and abort() 09/25/1996 Version 1.4 - Correct statement count to compensate for the 2 semicolons in a for loops. 9/20/1996 Version 1.3 - Added goto keyword - Added exit function - Changed output format 07/26/1996 Version 1.2 - Added the check mode, added the current format with key words. 05/20/1996 Version 1.1 - Added a new parser and a few keywords 4/11/1996 Version 1.0 - Official Commercial Release - Determined line counts
