Beginning with version 4.2.2 of PHP, the configuration directive "register_globals" is set to off. This must be changed in order to run the code in the mserver system. Changes can be made in the php.ini file, or in the httpd.conf file with the lines:

	< IfModule mod_php4.c>
		php_value register_globals 1
	< /IfModule>

The README file has not yet been updated to reflect this change.

Fixed several bugs in db.sql, choosePlaylist.php, and viewPlaylist.php. Also added a default option to msadd to speed insertion of music without ID3 tags.

If upgrading from a previous version, make sure to alter the songs table -- two new rows have been added.

Merged the backend configuration all into one file for easier installation. Also changed the playlist interface to work better with larger playlists, and added code to mark files to be taken offline. Next time you're cramped for space, mark some seldom played artists for removal. If they were backed up using the msbackup script, getting them back is easy. Finally, a new script to clean up the mserver database and MP3 file tree by deleting stale entries and empty directories.

This is the initial public release, and there are sure to be many problems that crop up -- even if for no other reason that different software versions and operating systems.
