<BR><BR>
<P>Version 6.07 is required for users who wish to install the upcoming release of LAS (Live Access Server)
software, release Armstrong 1.0. 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.
<PRE>
yes? show memory
Current size of FERRET memory cache: 6.4 MegaWords (1 word = 4 bytes)

yes? IF `($ferret_memory"6.4") LT 10` THEN \

<LI>SHOW VARIABLE/XML used by LAS is changed to write correct XML output when the definition of the
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>
