Something we should look at and have a plan for how to integrate or why we
can't and what needs to be done so we can.

	Hi,
	
	We just released Scishare 0.9.3 and it is available at
http://dsd.lbl.gov/scishare.
	
	This new release has significant improvements and also some bugs
from the older versions have been fixed. We encourage our users to upgrade
Scishare to the new version.
	
	Here is a list of the bugs that have been fixed and the new features
added:
	_Bugs Fixed:_
	- Some previous problems in the intergroup communications have been
solved.
	- The bug #11 from previous versions is fixed. The bug was generated
if the user tried to change stable storage root on Windows switching form
one drive to another (i.e. C:\ to D:\), moving security device folder will
fail.
	- The bug #13 has been fixed. This was regarding to metadata sharing
services that failed occasionally.
	- The bug #14 has been fixed. Before, when a new item was added, the
policies always default to the same value. Now they default to the policies
assigned to the most recently added item.
	_*New Features:*_
	- The installations of both binary and source versions goes through
a graphical user interface GUI. This will generate the scishare script
(under the bin directory) to run Scishare application.
	- Pseudo User now has a better representation. It shows the user
name as a part of user identity.
	- There is a notification message to the user if for some reason one
of the services (metadata/data sharing) fails while they are running.
	- We have improved the http response protocol regarding to
transfering the files. If for some reason, the user fails to transfer a file
he/she will get a better information showing what was the reason for that
failure.
	- The user can convert an older version of Scishare to the new one.
	- The different color schemes representing trusted,untrusted and
pseudo users are now applied to upload and transfer components of the
application.
	- The user can save the state of the application at runtime through
File->Save menu item.
	
	There are still some issues with Scishare that we're currently
working on:
	1. If the user tries to transfer a file of size 0 the application
will hang and he/she must restart Scishare where some data may be lost.
	2. Occasionally, when searching, the search results will be
duplicated and displayed as folders.
	3. We're working to have full functionality on distributed groups
which will be on the next release.
	
	Please, send us your comments. You can also report problems from
Scishare to http://dsd.lbl.gov/bugzilla
	
	Thanks,
	Artur..
