Version 5.3(297)-5 incorporates additional features, enhancements and
fixes since the minor release of 5.3(277)-5 in 30-Aug-2024. These are as
listed below and can be identified in the source code with the edit
number as the prefix of a comment.
As a courtesy, it is being made available early to users of the HECnet
community prior to the tarball being posted on the Internet. It may be
anonymously NFT'ed from VENTI2::TOMMYT:<OINKY.K20MIT> and related
subdirectories.
The changes are briefly summarized below and are further described in
TOMMYT:<OINKY.K20MIT.DOCUMENTATION>KERMIT-20_V5_3_297-5-ANNOUNCEMENT.TXT.
Rich text is also available in .PDF and Microsoft .DOCX format.
Please email me any issues with FAL transfers off list and I will
investigate.
