This release includes a LOT of new features and functionality. Features include: batch mode header/footer, quiet mode, remote single/multiple server and server group support(in the "copy" and "run" commands), documentation updates, etc.

This release is 100% documentation updates, but at least it all should make more sense to those who would like to use the package.
