ADRIFT 4.0 release 46
At last we have a new release of ADRIFT, but it really is not much more
than a bug fix, though the bugs fixed does include the long term one of
ADRIFT not being good at understanding weights of objects.
ADRIFT site traumas
Towards the end of April the difficulties with the ADRIFT site continued,
with it being down more often than it was up. At least this time the
problems were caused because Campbell Wild was working towards a
solution.
Having transferred to a new service provider for his broadband
connection in order to acquire a static IP address, there were times
when the two providers seemed to be involved in a war over his server.
This meant that the ADRIFT site became unavailable as it was pointing
to the wrong address.
Touching wood, those problems seem to be a thing of the past and the
server has been there for us.
