I know folks are anxious to get their hands on this version so I'm going to play this beta round a little looser than usual. Version 2-3b1 implements a persistent mode feature for our cellular peer-server technology. Launching a persistent instance of Message Sniffer has the effect of creating a daemon so that all other instances will elect to be clients. We observed a DRAMATIC improvement in system performance on our NT4/Imail/Declude test bed.
In static tests on my Toshiba 6100 we saw no memory leaks and consistent performance over the past 18+ hours of testing. This included several tests with more than 100+ concurrent client instances - all without failure and without making the system unresponsive (though the WinXP file system did start to show signs of strain).
This beta is for the windows platform only... once we're happy with this version will will make the source and *nix versions available as always.
Windows platform users who are interested in testing the new beta should download the following file:

The file contains an executable and a short readme file.
We are going to be extremely busy for the next few hours so we won't be able to provide support on this until later this evening. We have many updates and rulebase mods to attend to at the moment since we shifted resources heavily toward development last evening and through the night...
The current spam storm continues to rage with more than 500 core rule-base changes yesterday alone!
Be careful. Backup your current production version. Watch carefully.
Enjoy :-)
