Hi Rainer,

The problem was introduced by the fix for IC56846 in client versions 5.4.2
and 5.5.1. Thus your interpretation of the flash is correct. The problem
affects only those versions of the client that are mentioned in the flash.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
