in several minor bug fixes and improvements to strengthen application stability
and security. (232)

-
Fixed - When formatting (bold, italic etc.) is applied to selected
protected text, the corresponding toolbar button does not reflect the new state

the STORY table it is possible the error is nulled, but the following transaction
commit will fail and report a transaction error instead of the original error that
caused the problem. (250)
Installer
-
GDIPlus.dll removed from installation package. GDIPlus.dll is installed
by default on all Windows versions that NewsBoss supports. (237)

-
Fixed - NewsBoss does not support multi-user access to the web interface
through a single IP. Prior to this fix, session information was maintained using
the client IP address. This made session tracking of multiple clients located behind
a single IP address impossible. Session tracking is now implemented using session
cookies.
