2.2.1 Improved Error Reporting
This release provides improved error reporting for file protocol errors.
2.2.2 Improved Time Calculations
This release improves the way time is calculated so that the inter-packet gap between two heartbeat
packets is reduced.
This means that you will observe an increase in the instances of packets incrementing the 0x (less
than one second) counter, and a decrease in the instances of packets incrementing the 1x (between
one second and two seconds) counter.
