The way Monitoring Studio removes missing objects in the console can now be configured to : Never, As soon as they are missing or When they are missing "n" times in a row
It is now possible to send an email alert action to multiple recipients
The new parameter "LongestTimeFileRemainsInFolder" has been added to the SW_FOLDERS application class to displays the longest time an existing file has been placed in a folder

Fixed Issues

HTTP Request did not trigger an alert when a username/password was configured and the web site was stopped
Polling intervals and Alert Actions could not be set on older versions of the PATROL Agent because the "parameterType" instance variable was missing
Exit Status Codes were not properly interpreted by the Monitoring Studio interface on older versions of the PATROL Agent
SNMP OIDs: COUNTER-type values were not properly interpreted
The JMX monitoring would stop working when the application server was restarted, resulting in high CPU usage
