Since we're coming up to the "official release" now, this is timely:-).
Changes... "Leaner, faster, better ..." .... Normal seel-speak:-):-).
Seems to have a smaller memory footprint though. And is supposed to
handle docx and more archive formats (or was that selfextracting
formats...?). All in all a real easy upgrade.

Cheers
