Thanks Devin.  I guess I'll have to go through the release notes and try to
glean what I can from them.

I know there was a recent thread about the poor quality of the LC docs
which included some reasons why it won;t get updated until the whole open
source thing settles down.  I really hope going forward that RunRev pay
much better attention to keeping the docs up to date with every release.
 It's not realistic to expect users to plough through Release notes to
augment the docs.  Documentation updates have been on the product release
project plan for every software company I've ever worked for.

On the subject of open source, is there a process in place to get
contributed enhancements included in the docs?  I see lots of cool stuff
being discussed on the forum that involve new commands and properties.
