2) INSTALLATION NOTES
---------------------
* This release can be installed with or without integration
into the Microsoft Management Console. If you have selected
this integration during setup, Microsoft Management Console
1.2 or higher is required to use O&O Defrag.
* You need Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher for
correct functioning of O&O Defrag. In addition, it is
required for diplaying the on-line help. This is due to
the nature of the new, compiled HTML help, which only can be
displayed when certain library files of Internet Explorer
are present.
* To uninstall O&O Defrag, you may remove the entry "O&O
Defrag Professional Edition" or "O&O Defrag Server Edition"
using "Add/Remove Software" from the control panel.
* Installation directories
Some files, i.e. the commandline utility "OODCMD.EXE",
are not installed into the user defined installation
directory, but into one which contains shared files of
+ O&O Defrag V4 Professional Edition
+ O&O Defrag V4 Server Edition
On a "standard" Microsoft Windows XP system this would
be
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\OO Software\Defrag"
* You cannot install O&O Defrag V4 in parallel with an older
version of O&O Defrag. O&O Defrag V4 Server Edition
also includes the current release of O&O Enterprise
Management Console. All older versions must be uninstalled.

3) VERSION HISTORY
------------------
CHANGES IN V4.0 BUILD 508
-------------------------
* FIX: Performance issues when connected to the GUI fixed.
NEW FEATURES COMPARED TO RELEASE 3.5
------------------------------------
* Compatible with:
+ Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
+ Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition
* Completely re-designed user interface, support for new visual
styles and features of Windows XP.
* STEALTH defragmentation method
This method is optimal for large volumes and volumes with a
high file count, as often given e.g. on file servers. The
STEALTH method has a significantly lower requirement
regarding system resources and free space on a volume.
* COMPLETE/Date Access method
COMPLETE/Date, as present in release 3.5, has been split
into two different defragmentation methods:
+ COMPLETE/Date Modification
+ COMPLETE/Date Access
COMPLETE/Date Modification is similar to that of release 3.5:
files are sorted by the date of their most recent
modification. The method COMPLETE/Date Access re-orders files
by their most recent access time. This method improves
access to files that are recently used in a read-only manner.
* New "O&O Activity Guard Pro"
"O&O Activity Guard Pro" significantly improves the file
defragmentation in the background. The resource usage has
been optimized again and can now be adjusted in the range
of 0-100% hard disk load, thus the user is less disturbed
during his daily work.
* Automatic defragmentation of exclusively locked files
Exclusively locked files can now be automatically added to
boot-time defragmentation without user interaction.
* Installation without Microsoft Management Console by choice
Now, if specified by the user, installation without the MMC
is possible.
* Control from command line interface
O&O Defrag is now shipped with a new command line utility,
that enables to control the defragmentation on a local system
without the graphical user interface, e.g. out of batch
files.
* Automatic defragmentation in the background
For each volume, a fragmentation threshold and an analysis
interval can be specified, so that when a user-specified
fragmentation ratio is reached, the background
defragmentation of a volume is launched. Combined with O&O
ActivityGuard Pro, the computer can be permanently kept on
a constant performance level without disturbing the user in
his daily work.
* User-definable duration of analysis data
Now, the duration of analysis/ClusterView data kept in memory
by the agent can be defined by the user. Particularly on
large volumes a longer duration is often needed in
comparison to the default of release 3.5 (approx. 12 min).
* Enhanced output during the boot-time defragmentation
The output in the boot-time screen of Windows NT/2000/XP has
been significantly extended:
+ File names are being displayed
+ improved output of status/error messages
In addition, a detailed logfile in %systemroot%\system32 is
being generated what enables a latter diagnosis ("OODBS.LOG")
* The defragmentation of MFT can be skipped
The whole boot-time defragmentation and just the
defragmentation of the MFT can be skipped by pressing a key.
