The ability to read new replies has been added!

As mentioned above, the ability to send and receive multiple files through the multi-punter protocol has been implemented. The method used is the standard multi-punter as opposed to the SCterm standard.

Although this list looks short, all changes are downright staggering for a single version change, thus the leap from 2.5 to 3.0.

That about covers it for this version!
