Over the coming week we will be making snapshot builds of the |

i-scream central monitoring system from the CVS repository. |
52 |

These builds will have quite a few changes from the downloads |
53 |
+ |
currently available (a document detailing them will be |
54 |
+ |
released later on), so please give them a whirl. We would be |
55 |

grateful if you <a href="mailto:dev@i-scream.org">contacted</a> |
56 |

us with any questions or bugs.<br><br> |
