<font size=+1>27-August-2007</font>
<BR><BR>
<P>Version 6.07 is required for users who wish to install the new Live Access Server software.
It includes Linux 32-bit and 64-bit executables, with statically-linked versions of both. A Solaris 8
version is also included, however it is linked with an older OPeNDAP library. Further Solaris builds
are in the works and will be released shortly.
<BR><BR>
<H2>Enhancements and Bug fixes in Version 6.07</H2>

<LI>Ferret executables are built with static libraries where possible (linux systems). In particular
a number of X11 libraries are now loaded as static libraries.<BR><BR></LI>
<LI>Both dynamic and static executables are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit linux systems.<BR><BR></LI>
<LI>A new symbol FERRET_MEMORY is defined when Ferret starts up and reset on a SET MEMORY
command. It shows the Ferret memory as seen by SHOW MEMORY, in MegaWords.

variable includes quotes, as in a time interval that is given by dates in quotation marks. <BR><BR></LI>
<LI>Some PPLUS errors were previously sent to std output. Now these are sent to std error.<BR><BR></LI>
<LI>Messages produced by DEFINE, SET and CANCEL commands, and informational/warning messages starting
with <B>**NOTE</B> were previously sent to std output. Now these are sent to std error. For instance,
the messages in BOLD text below now go to std error<BR>
