--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The below listed are all corrections made in 4.x software since the 
last production software, 4.28, was released:


Corrected problems in version 4.30:
=====================================

4.30:1 File System: Joliet format
       A Joliet CD could be mounted as ISO9660, giving problems with 
       long filenames.

4.30:2 NetWare: NZZ problem
       The "Paper Out-NZZ" application failed because the StorPoint 
       can't handle RockRidge CD format with symbolic links. A fix is 
       made in NetWare, to make this application work.

4.30:3 NetWare: Several mounted CD's
       If several CD's (not an exact number, depends on volume names) 
       were mounted, the server could crash or return an empty volume 
       name list to the client.

4.30:4 NetWare: 127 SYS volumes
       MS NetWare clients could show 127 mounted SYS volumes.

4.30:5 NetWare: CD read error.
       Trying to read more data from a file than it contains, caused 
       an error, a.k.a. changer fix.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Corrected problems in version 4.29.2:
=====================================

4.29.2:1 SMB: Command misinterpretation
	 One application (ATP navigator) had problems both during 
	 installation and use due to misinterpretation of SMB commands.
	 
4.29.2:2 SMB: Wrong volume size reported to Windows 95/98 and NT 
         clients. When checking the properties for a CD mapped on a 
         network drive, the size was always shown as 127MB independent 
         of the size of the CD.

4.29.2:3 SMB: Incorrect size of a file returned to the NT client 
         Running an application failed because a SMB command 
	 returned the incorrect size of a file. 

4.29.2:4 NetWare: Server disconnections
	 The corrections made in 4.29.1 caused the message
	 "Unable to communicate..." on the console of NetWare
	 console. The previous correction is now revoked.

4.29.2:5 NetWare: Applications creating temporary files
         Wrong error code was used when an application tried to
         create a temporary file on a CD-ROM. This could cause the 
         application to fail.

4.29.2:6 NetWare: Improved installation in NetWare 5 environments
	 Minor problems have been fixed that on rare occasions
         caused problems when installing the StorPoint on 
         NetWare 5 networks. 

4.29.2:7 NetWare: A correction for the newest Novell clients
	 Small corrections for browsing problems with Novell clients 
	 3.1 and 4.6. with SP2 have been made. These problems 
         appeared when the ShowAllVolumes parameter was set to 'no' 
         and no CDs were mounted. 

4.29.2:8 File system: Ejecting disks while they were being accessed
	 On rare occasions, the server could hang or reboot when 
         disks were ejected while they were being accessed. Disks 
         could be ejected because :

	   a) A changer was changing disks.
	   b) The operator ejected a disk manually from the front 
              panel.
	   c) The system ejected a disk because the drive it was 
              inserted in didn't handle ISO9660 compliance level 3 
              well enough.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Corrected problems in version 4.29.1:
=====================================

4.29.1:1 SMB: Hanging in user level security mode.
         In rare conditions the domain controller was never released
         and all available threads in the CD-ROM server could be
         reserved. This caused the server to stop responding to
         incoming requests.

4.29.1:2 SMB: Problems with volume properties in Windows 95.
         When using the Properties function on a mapped CD share
         in Windows 95 the volume label appeared truncated and 
         the file system name contained garbage.

4.29.1:3 NetWare: NDS rights.
         Now it is possible to set NDS rights for CD's with names
         longer than 8 chars.

4.29.1:4 NetWare: File search problem.
         Sometimes, when searching for files, the server reported
         the same file twice.  This caused some installation
         programs to fail.

4.29.1:5 NetWare: Unused connections.
         Connections to the CD-server from other servers are thrown
         out after 2 hours, if nobody is logged in.

4.29.1:6 NetWare: Unused connections in statistics.
         Connections with nobody logged in are not shown in
         the statistics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Caution! Do not use a Linux workstation to FTP-load the cde.bin file 
         because:
	 - The transfer will be slow.
	 - In rare cases, the transfer cannot be completed and that 
         can result in necessity to use parallel flash cable for 
         re-flashing the StorPoint.
