Dotfuscator 4.9.6 to Ship February 11

February 9, 2011 5546 Views Sebastian Holst
New features include:
  • 10X performance improvement for Runtime Intelligence messaging on Silverlight and XNA apps (on and off of the phone)
  • Expanded XAML obfuscation further improves IP protection
For Windows Phone 7 users, perhaps the most significant new feature will be, in fact, an invisible one; V4.9.6 includes a new analytics messaging implementation that offers a 10X performance improvement on the phone with a proportionate improvement in battery life preservation thrown in. This implementation employs a multi-threaded, “batch and send” approach.

If you think your app is at all sensitive to our (or anyone else’s) analytics traffic, I would encourage you to download the new version and retest. If you haven’t downloaded Dotfuscator and Runtime Intelligence for Windows Phone yet, you can get it right now at http://www.preemptive.com/windowsphone7.html

This performance enhancement applies to any Silverlight app - not just WP7 apps. Please note: multi-threaded messaging and caching was already supported on all other .NET applications.

Also included in this release (for apps both on and off of the phone) are incremental enhancements in XAML renaming obfuscation. If you are obfuscating your XAML, Dotfuscator will now provide automatic support (meaning no manual configuration or exclusions) for the renaming of attached properties, dependency properties, routed events, and attached events. This feature applies to Silverlight (WP7 and .NET) and WPF applications.

How do you get the new version? Registered Dotfuscator users with active maintenance (all WP7 developers are automatically included) can simply open their installed version of Dotfuscator and select “Check for Updates Now” under the Help menu. The link provided will step you through a simple upgrade path.

How do you take advantage of the performance improvements? Simply run your app through Dotfuscator again; there are no configuration changes required.

How do you take advantage of the extended XAML renaming capabilities? If you have already excluded instances of these specific properties/events in an existing configuration file, then you will need to “uncheck” those exclusions. New applications will be able to take advantage of the improved XAML protection capabilities from the start. Please note: as is always the case, if there are dependencies on these events/properties that cannot be detected through static analysis, then they will always need to be excluded.

When obfuscating XAML, always check the “warnings” panel for potentially “ambiguous” XAML during the initial configuration phase (and always test your apps post-obfuscation).

Protecting Java applications that use Jackson for JSON



JSON is a standard format for sharing objects and data within an application. When working in Java, there is no built-in support for JSON processing. There are, however, several widely-used libraries and options to choose from. In this article, we will focus on Jackson, which is one of the most popular.

Inventa, Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO



Inventa, a Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO

The Beginnings of Inventa

Having worked in the wireless mobile technology domain in the US, Anand Virani, became intrigued by the growing tech and wireless trends and wanted to explore the field more for himself. He noticed a boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) and that smartphones were becoming more central to how people interacted with each other at home, in the office, and in public places. What if there was a way phones could connect with each other without the need for Internet or cloud access? Smartphones were the future and Virani was determined to make a profitable business model based on this new trend.

Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator



Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator

How It All Started

How is flying a fighter plane similar to performing neurosurgery? They have more in common than you’d think. In 2005, Monty Avisar and Alon Geri, two Israeli fighter pilots were assigned to work with Lockheed Martin to build a $50 million F-16 Flight Simulator program for the Israeli Air Force to improve hand-eye coordination skills for their pilots during combat. Avisar took on the role of project manager and Geri served as senior engineer; the project was a success.

Four years later in 2009, the two finished their military service in Israel and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Their experience working in virtual reality applications inspired them to wonder where this technology could also be applied. With several connections to surgeons, the two came to understand the ins and outs of operation procedures; in a similar way, surgeons were also working on a battlefield. What if surgeons could also train like fighter pilots and preview their surgical procedure, much like a fighter pilot could pre-fly their mission? The surgeons could pre-plan the operation from every angle and every approach to increase their situational awareness. And a year later, Surgical Theater was born.

Integrating DashO into a Maven Build



Maven is perhaps the most widely-used project management tool for Java. Based on the Project Object Model (POM), it is used not only for compilation of source code, but also dependency management, documentation, running tests, packaging, deployment, and more. We are frequently asked if we have a Maven plugin for running DashO. Though we do not offer a specific Maven plugin, adding DashO to your Maven-based project is surprisingly easy by leveraging Ant.
