DQS 3.1.8 is an updated "patch release" from DQS 3.1.7

DQS 3.1.7 is a "patch release" of DQS 3.1.3.4.1

For future reference DQS releases will be based on
a 3 digit numbering system - major.minor.patch

"odd" numbered patch releases have seen minor(if any 
testing) and reflect patches forwarded by users and
should be considered a "stopgap" replacement for the 
ftp materials previously available.(eg: use at your
own risk...)

"even" numbered patch releases have seen more extensive
testing but aren't gauranteed.(eg: use at your own 
risk...)

For a list of known/requested patches/features, please

As usual, bugs should be sent to dqs@scri.fsu.edu
(see DQS/DOC/user_guide/InstMaint.* for info on
other DQS related mailing lists.)

btw: due to university policy, we have to ask that all patch
or contributed SW become the property of FSU(though we really
do appreciate the contributions and acknowledge the authors
of such.)
