 Added features in version 7.10
 ================================

 - Port authentication using 802.1X.

 - SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).

 - Support for printer installation in Windows Vista is now supported
   using the PPM MIB.

 - New parameters have been added for a per port control of what PJL
   commands are sent to the connected printer. 

 - It is now possible to print the Server Report using the test button.
   Pushing the button twice will now print the Server Report instead, as
   previously, the parameter list only.

 - The connected printer's serial number, if NPS succeeds obtaining it,
   is displayed in the Printer capabilities section on the web pages and
   in the server report.


 Corrected problems in version 7.10
 ==================================

 - Bugfix in RawTCP printing. If the TCP connection died before all data was
   acknowledged by the printer then the job could become hanging, occupying
   the print port until the NPS was restarted.

 - Removed a discrepancy between the number of print jobs presented on the
   "Print Jobs" page and the number of jobs actually written (and presented
   in the job log).

 - Corrected a problem which could result in print jobs being printed out of
   order, i.e. not in the order they arrived at the print server.

 - Secondary printer functionality now works as expected again.
 
 - Solved problem with Telnet sometimes stopping.

 - LPD printing from Windows under certain circumstances could result in a
   job being printed twice. This has now been corrected.

 - Solved a problem which could result in the NPS hanging during start up.

 - Some erranous links on the Support and Troublesteps pages have been
   corrected.

 - Updating of detailed status on webpage, telnet-status and ftp-status
   has been improved.

 - Solved a bug in FTP. When obtaining the status file from the NPS sometimes
   the NPS would try to send data on the data connection before the data
   connection was actually established. When this happened the client would
   not get a status file. 



 Limitations in version 7.10
 ===========================

 - Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented.

 - Axis ThinWizard is the recommended management tool to use with this print
   server. HP WebJetadmin is neither tested nor supported with this release.

 - FW 7.00 and later are not fully compatible with TW 3.00.  The Print Server 
   name will be missing and the Status reported by TW 3.0 will be wrong. 
   For full functionality please use TW 3.04, or higher.

 - Firmware release 7.00 and onwards only supports print servers with Axis
   brand name.
