• This release includes two fixes from IBMers that haven't yet been checked in: Joseph Samake's rewrite of the locale code and Jeff Kobal's faster tiling (which provides a gain in speed/efficiency well worth the cost of an ephemeral minor transparency bug).
• The vicious webshell-spawning that triggered when trying to load a local text or nonexistent file with the last preview binaries is now gone.
• You can migrate your Communicator/2 profiles to Warpzilla. When you launch Profile Migration, it adds your 4.x profiles to the list of those available. The actual migration only occurs when you select one of the Comm/2 profiles. It doesn't alter the Comm/2 versions, just converts them to Warpzilla format and stores the results in the Users50 directory.
• Among other little improvements you may notice:
  • The Software Installer works
  • Icons have been added to Composer's tag view
  • FTP directory listings show up and downloads work, although the tree interface takes a bit of getting used to
  • Dates and times appear in mailnews listings
  • Context menu mouse-selection is back.

GOGO can encode about TWICE as fast as original LAME can on K6-2 315MHz, and its quality is the about same as (old) LAME's.

• about 8% faster

• ChartAspect: Upgraded 16-bit legacy limit (30000) to INT_MAX, so that also the most important aspects are included in the aspect list...
• GetAspInf: Orb power weighed and smoothed by a sine function (less than half orb means more power, more than half orb means less power, power changes very slowly at the extremes). Jyotish houses: Sign influence revised so that Asc and MC go as sidereal.

• Jyotish houses: Sign influence calculations now treat Ascendant and MC signs same as those for the 1st and 10th house respectively (i.e., same as if the sidereal zodiac was used). Fixed: The internal show seconds setting could be wrong in some cases.

• Virtual disks allow experimenting with partitions without actualy writing anything to the real physical disk
• W2KBM will protect an IBM-bootmanager against aggressive Windows-2000 CHKDSK operations that could damage the BMGR data sectors

Unless you manually type the path, the directory will have to be selected in the directory listbox AND it must be the current directory listed in the file listbox AND the filename entry field must be empty, or "*" or the default "*.*".
• HUGE playlist (~900 songs and more) are now able to load.
