Sep 28 - New feature and fixes release

 

  • Included support for local variables which allows easy creation of iApps that contain base configurations that are not sync'ed but require per BIG-IP variables. A typical example are non-floating self-IPs.
  • There was an issue that some times produced different (and wrong) iApps with a given .t2i. Existing iApps that work properly don't need to be regenerated.
  • .t2i files that contain comments are no longer ignored

The two fixes have been found thanks to a new semi-automated regression testing that I'm now running on this tool.
