As everyone can see, this is a record-breaking
changelog for a single GEMS release. I’d like to congratulate Dmitry
and Whitman for all the work they put into bug-fix duty, Ravina for finding
most the bugs, and Note that GEMS 1.18 is a stable release branch,
and as such all the items below are bug-fixes. That said, this many changes is pretty
punishing to a software system. It is
pretty certain that some new bugs have slipped in as a result of all the
changes. Please exercise caution when
releasing 1.18.10 to customers. Do
give it a whirl though, and post to bugtrack with any
problems you find. Ken -----Original Message----- GEMS-1-18-10 is ready. The password
