Changes: <html> <p> Version 0.9.5 was originally intended to add a number of significant new features (SSL, Database wrappers etc. as detailed in the 'Feature Requests' section at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/armidale"> SourceForge</a>. These features will now be released in v0.9.6. <p> Many Windows users have not been able to run <b>armidale</b> because of confusion over the use of UNIX file separators when starting the armidale launcher (eg. java -jar jars/armidale.jar). v0.9.5 has therefore been released early, primarily to help these users run armidale without errors. <p> The following sumarises the changes made in version 0.9.5: <p> * This release will help Windows users run <b>armidale</b>.
