The following is a list of recent changes to the server code
(includes scheduler, daemons, PHP web pages, etc.).
We encourage projects to periodically upgrade to the latest server code;
there is a fairly constant stream of bug fixes and new features.
There is a script that makes it fast and easy to upgrade.
