From: : Joachim Benjamins <joachimDESPAM at DESPAMmensys.nl>

Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the 
availability of eComStation 2.0 Beta 4.

This release is available to customers with an active Software 
Subscriptions Services subcription.

== CHANGES ==

** Disk Resizer GUI **

This beta has a custom DFSee engine that enables reliable RESIZING of FAT32 
and NTFS filesystems to allow shrinking an existing Windows installation to 
make room for eComStation on the same system.

The GUI to this tool has been updated and is now using a graphical 
interface. To invoke it, please select 'Paritition Resizing Tool' from the 
Installation Volume Manager which can be called during installation.

** GenMac support **

This package provides generic driver support for several network interface 
cards under OS/2 and eComStation.  Moreover, Genmac is enabled to support 
WPA encryption with the Wireless LAN Monitor 3.x or better.

Genmac and the Wireless LAN monitor will be installed when the appropriate 
hardware is detected by the installer.  If it is not detected, you can 
manually select the driver in the network installation dialog.

Since the previous beta, GenMac installation has improved considerably.

** multicore CPU support **

This beta supports the installation of eComStation on a MultiCore CPU 
computer. This includes Intel Core Duo, Core2 Duo and AMD 64 X2. To enable 
this support, please select the appropriate feature in the installer 
hardware page.

** ACPI 2.18 **

ACPI support has been updated to the latest available version (2.18) which 
results in varying successrate. Testers with nVidia based computers report 
more problems than before, others report more success than ever.

As always, the following applies:

!!! WHEN TESTING BETA SOFTWARE, ALWAYS BE SURE TO HAVE A TRIED AND TESTED 
BACK OF YOUR SYSTEM !!!
