PROBLEMS FIXED SINCE 4.39RC
===========================

* I/O redirection (DIR >>CON: blackout) is fixed;
* the "Optimize" function in the Formatter should
  now always work properly.
* occasional unavailability of the "Dual" and
  "DD 512" density in the formatter menu should be
  fixed now.
* the formatter's buffer is now never used beyond
  the current requirements, i.e. when there is a
  single density disk to format, no byte of the
  buffer will be used beyond the first 128 bytes.
* SIO2.SYS can't be loaded in USE OSRAM mode
  anymore.
* automatic serial speed detection in SIO.SYS is
  reworked and greatly improved.
* ATARIDOS.SYS problem appearing when the first I/O
  operation was on an AtariDOS-formatted disk, is
  fixed.
* ATARIDOS.SYS now doesn't alter the DISK structure
  before it has identified the disk format as DOS 2
  FS.
* X.COM's problem with parsing new drive identifiers
  (J:-O:) is fixed.
* FSTRUCT.COM crashes when the analyzed file had
  => 256 segments are fixed.
* FSTRUCT.COM used to leave the file open when
  aborted with the Break key.
* SPARTA.SYS now won't accept $00 as a valid magic
  value in the bootsector, when trying to identify
  the disk format as SpartaDOS FS.
* DIRS (misc 4 in fact) now properly calculates the
  number of sectors taken by files even on a 512 BPS
  disk.
* NUL: now accepts SEEK function code, DUMP NUL3:
  works now.
* CHKDSK.COM can now return extended information on
  CAR: disk (and any other device which implements the
  function no. $13 of the kernel).
* XIO 47 (GETDFREE) now returns 17 bytes, as it was
  on SpartaDOS 3.2
* the bug causing the RAMDISK.SYS to write its PERCOM
  block into the main memory instead of ext is fixed.
* the problem that RAM-disk was occasionally
  reformatted after cold restart, even if the
  RAMDISK.SYS was loaded with the same parameters as
  before, should now be fixed.
* ECHO accidentally failed to display all the text it
  was given, fixed.
* few minor improvements here and there.
