          Added features and corrected problems in version 3.04:
          =============================================================

          1. Extended SMB
             The CD-ROM server now handles the Extended SMB dialect which 
             makes browsing with NT clients (3.51 and 4.0) possible.

          2. Hiding volumes in SMB
             The Volumes and Config folders will be hidden to all clients when the 
             ShowPseudoShares in set to No. The folders can still be reach by manual
             mapping.

          3. Corrected problems with disconnecting NBT clients
             Disconnect problems with SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP have been solved.

          4. NetWare frame type autodetection
             The autodetection of network numbers associated with frame 
             types could cause the CD-ROM server to take a network 
             number from another segment.
             This problem has been corrected and it is also possible to explicitly 
             set the network number and thus bypass the autodetection completely.
             The number can be set for each frame type individually in the config.ini file. 
             This setting cannot be initiated from the Web configuration pages.

          5. NetWare Client32 for WinNT and Win3.11
             Using these new clients, you could not run or read specific
             files, such as .exe or .ini files, from the CD-ROM server.
             This is now possible.

          6. NetWare wildcard search with Client32
             Some combinations of wildcards (for instance, searching for files
             with no extensions using wildcards such as afile* or afile.*)
             did not work, that is no such files were found even if they did
             exist. This has now been remedied.

          7. Authentication server in NetWare
             A bug that caused the CD-ROM server to unnecessarily occupy multiple 
             connections on its authentication server has been fixed.
             
          8. Problems with Novell client 32 for NT
             The Novell Client 32 for NT would sometimes hang in an infinite loop 
             when using burst mode to read files that had a length that was not an 
             even multiple of four bytes. This has now been fixed.

          9. Increased performance in HTTP
             HTTP performance has been improved.

          10. Broken images in HTTP
             A bug, that caused images in the CD-ROM server's HTML pages to
             sometimes appear as broken (that is they were not loaded
             correctly), has been fixed.

          11. Security leak in HTTP
             Under some circumstances, config.ini could be read without
             providing a password. This is no longer possible.

          12. Volume rights management in HTTP
             There was a bug that made the Volume Rights Management pages
             appear as empty when you loaded them for the first time. This
             has been fixed.

          13. Automatic detection of index.htm and index.html.
             If an index.htm(l) file is found on the root level of a CD when it is 
             accessed from a web browser, the file will automatically be opened
             by the Web browser.

          14. Wrong file sizes (all protocols)
             When you listed files in non-CD directories (such as config and
             volumes) for the first time, they would have a file size of zero
             bytes. They are now always listed with correct file sizes.

          15. Jukebox time lock
             A parameter that enables you to set the minimum time to lock a 
             CD in the drive of a CD changer. This prevents the changer form
             constantly swapping CDs when clients are accessing different CDs. The 
             lock time is set by the JukeBoxLockTime parameter. The recommended
             setting is in the same region as time the changer takes to swap CD’s, i.e.
             2-10 seconds.

          16. Date and time parameters removed
             The Date and time parameters have been removed from the config.ini 
             file.

          17. New structure in Volumes folder
             The txt files in the Volumes folder have been divided in to three
             different sub-folders; Server, Scsi and Cdrom. Please note that the
             files existing in the Volumes folder will not automatically be moved
             to the new folders. 

          18. MediaAgent support
             The client program MediaAgent from MediaPath is supported, and the 
             support can be turned on or off using the MediaAgentMode parameter.

          19. Nakamichi MBR 7 support
             The StorPoint CD now also support the MBR 7 changer from Nakamichi.
             The changer also exists with other brand names.

          20. Memory expansion 
             It is now possible to expand the memory of the StorPoint CD using
             a single 4MB DRAM module, a 16 MB module or two 16 MB modules.
