   Dear bootAble users,     
      
   It has been a long time since I was able to really work on bootAble (the   
   previous release was from March 2013…). I am therefore very pleased to   
   be able to announce the a new release today!     
      
   Version 6.10 contains quite a number of new features and improvements.   
   Most notably it now has support for QSINIT, Air-Boot, and MiniLVM and   
   Firefox and Seamonkey seem to work quite well using the latest available   
   release for OS/2 (though some websites, most notably the google   
   homepage, still crash the application when run from a bootAble environment).     
      
   Thanks go especially to Doug Bissett. His perseverance and help to get   
   eCS to run in a VirtualBox VM on my Mac have given me the ability to   
   continue developing bootAble in a much more productive environment than   
   before.     
      
   The new version can be downloaded from the bootAble website   
   http://hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/>.     
      
   Bug reports and feedback are most welcome!     
      
   Enjoy,   
   Hayo Baan     
      
      
    v6.10 (15/01/2016)     
      
    * Added support for QSINIT (|QSINIT|);   
    * Added support for QSINIT's ram disk (|HD4DISK|);   
    * Added support for Air-Boot (|AIRBOOT|);   
    Note: As a convenience, an |airboot2.cmd| command is created that   
    will allow you to start the air-boot installer (|airboot2.exe|)   
    without having to first go to the directory where the |airboot.bin|   
    file is located.   
    * Added support for the Maintenance & Installation Volume Manager   
    (|MINILVM|);   
    * Added a setting for the Virtual Address Limit   
    (|VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT|, default taken from the user's |config.sys|   
    file).   
    * Changed the default for |TCPIPLEAN| to |No| as the lean versions of   
    the TCPIP code do not work with all software (most notably not with   
    the mozilla software);   
    * When unzipping archives any file matching is now done case insensitive;   
    * Adding the |b2z.dll| that is part of the newer unzip versions. Note   
    too that the newer zip and unzip require |GCCRT| which is NOT   
    enabled by default;   
    * Added config file for the INI file editor (|bootAble.initor|);   
    Note: when started from the command-line Initor might give an   
    “Error” and refuse to close, killing the process still works though.   
    When started from the Initor program object, this issue does not occur…   
    * Updated |bootAble.firefox|, |bootAble.thunderbird|, and   
    |bootAble.seamonkey| to support the latest & known to be working   
    versions (31.8.0b5, 31.8.0, and 2.28b5r2 respectively).   
    * Adapted |bootAble.dfsee| to the latest dfsee distribution (13.x) and   
    change of the location of the os/2-only files to |bin| instead of   
    |os2| (|APP_DFSEE_EXEDIR|);   
    * Adapted |bootAble.pmview|, it now prefers version 3 over version 2.   
    It will furthermore ask for the source directory if PMView isn't   
    installed (or a version different from 2 or 3 is installed);   
    * Adapted |bootAble.amouse| to include all found language versions and   
    made sure that it doesn't override the system version of the USB   
    Mouse driver with aMouse's version if this should not be done   
    (controlled by |APP_AMOUSE_REPLACE_USBMOUSE|);   
    * The XWorkplace settings are now taken over from the current   
    installation instead of defaulted.   
    * Improved support for VirtualBox additions;   
    Files are now always placed on the “CD” to maintain the long file   
    names and into their own |\OS2Additions| directory (just as with the   
    normal installation).   
    Enabling the VirtualBox additions also enforces |GCCRT|.   
    * Now including /all/ |gcc| and |libc| dlls when |GCCRT| is enabled   
    (the source is set using |GCCRTSOURCE|);   
    * You can now force asking a question using |defaultIfNotSet()| even   
    if a default value is given (previously it would only ask if the   
    variable was not previously set /and/ the provided default value was   
    empty. To do this, use |'ASKIFNOTSET'| as the third parameter to   
    |defaultIfNotSet()|.   
    * Major cleanup of html documentation.
