Hi Dan, I can confirm this. At the moment we have to follow the discussions on the JM list to remain up-to-date.
Keep in mind that JM is very very flexible and there are out so much different configurations that (I think) it's practically not possible to offer such an auto-update function for new tests. Scott maintains a list of Release notes under: http://www.declude.com/relnotes.htm This list is usefull to check what's new in any release. It could be better when any new test has beside (or is linked to) the complete documentation how this new test or option can and should be used. Probably it could be also usefull to keep the current JM list for public discussions, and add a new list where only Scott can post (or authorize postings from other people) that contains only release notes, test definitions and the result of discussions on the "public" list. So this list can be not only an indicator for important news, but also a good documentation. When we have to search something we have all in a concentrated form without (at this point) useless postings from other people. my 2 (Euro)-cents :-) Markus > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Geiser > Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 11:47 PM > To: Declude JunkMail > Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Keeping Track of New Additions to > GLOBAL.CFG > > > Hello, All, > I'm curious to know how readers of this list take care of > incorporating changes from the new default GLOBAL.CFG into > your existing and typically personalized "in use" GLOBAL.CFG. > Also, when new default tests are added into GLOBAL.CFG is > there some way for us to be notified that a new GLOBAL.CFG > has been released to see if we'd like to incorporate them? > > The reason I ask is that in the last day or so my boss and I > have been discussing how good DJM has been doing, and it has > been doing great.
