release 4.2.8
« on: September 08, 2015, 12:51:56 AM »
Release 4.2.8
-----------------
Some more bug fixes
Gil enhanced the exit prompts to make it clear if you will be losing work on exit.

When I released previous 4.2.7, not all the release notes were complete. I have added entries for ChrisD and dan showing that 4.2.7 had much more content than was listed.

Thank you all for your continual improvements and listening to the awkward masses...

can be an endless thankless task but it is appreciated by many.
