Changes in version 6.2.0.0 (January 23, 2006):
=====================
+ Added support for Asian character sets. Serv-U now properly handles Asian characters in paths and file names on Asian language Windows.
+ Added support for "Universal Plug and Play" (UPnP) to automatically configure NAT routers to allow incoming connections.
+ Added support to add Serv-U to the Windows Firewall exception list.
+ Changed "Start Administrator" menu option to be bold, since this is the default tray icon (i.e., double click action on the tray).
+ Many enhancements and optimizations throughout to use MS Visual C++ 2003 .NET compiler.
+ Converted tray icon to be built by MS Visual C++ compiler.
+ Converted from using Wise installer to using Inno Setup, resulting in smaller installation executable (approximately 33% smaller).
+ Added %ServerVersionShort and %ServerVersionLong keywords to the system parameters list.
+ Added additional command line parameters for ServUDaemon.exe. See "Engine Overview" topic in the Help documentation for more information.
+ Optimized help documentation images, reducing help doc size by 50% without noticeable image quality degradation.
+ Updated ServUPerfCount.dll to build with MS Visual C++ 2003 .NET compiler.
+ Added version information to resources for all .EXE and .DLL files.
+ Updated Version.txt style to be consistent with other RhinoSoft.com products.
+ Removed McAfee warning dialog from installer (added in version 6.0.0.1 release).
+ Increased automatic server shutdown time from 15 seconds to 30 seconds to compensate for longer shutdown times due to UPnP.
+ Added the Serv-U Daemon build date to the global system log.
- Corrected daemon string that reported trial usage in the log as "Professional Edition." Serv-U operates as the "Corporate Edition" during trials.
- Corrected a minor memory leak at shutdown only. This memory leak did not have any affect on Serv-U itself while running.
