> 
>     Later this week we will also be releasing a beta version of 1.5.0,
> that
>     is functionally identical but has a new 100% web-based installation
>     process, for those without shell access who want to try CWIS.
> 
>     More information about new features and enhancements in this
> release can
>     be found at http://scout.wisc.edu/Projects/CWIS/CHANGES or via the
> Revision
>     History available on the Portal Administration menu in the new
> software.
> 
> 
>     IMPORTANT:  As of version 1.5.0, CWIS now requires PHP version
> 4.1.0 or
>     later and MySQL version 4.1 or later.  This will likely be the
> last major
>     release of the software that works with PHP 4.x and MySQL 4.x, as
> the 4.x
>     versions of both are no longer supported by the PHP or MySQL
> development
>     teams.  We strongly suggest moving to a web server environment
> with PHP 5.x
>     and MySQL 5.x when you have the opportunity.
> 
> 
>     After installing the new version, we would ask that you use the
> "Register
>     with Scout" feature on the Administration menu to let us know you're
>     using the new version of software.  It really helps us determine
> what kind
>     of operating environments the software is running in, and where
> next to go
>     with development.
> 
>     We look forward to your feedback on this new version of CWIS.
