  Release Notes: November 17, 2009
  Version: ConferenceRoom/4.0

Thank you for downloading ConferenceRoom 4.

We strongly recommend you install ConferenceRoom 4 into a clean (empty)
directory. You can then customize or apply previous customizations to the
new installation.

Keys for versions of ConferenceRoom before 3.0 will not work with
ConferenceRoom 4.0 as certificates are now required. Certificates for
ConferenceRoom 3.0 will work with ConferenceRoom 4.0. Contact
<sales@webmaster.com> to obtain a certificate.

Although there are no known security problems in ConferenceRoom 4.0 and it
is carefully designed to be as secure as possible, we do not recommend that
you run CR4 under the 'root' account. ConferenceRoom does not require any
'root' privileges; however, it cannot listen on ports less than 1,024
without 'root' privileges. ConferenceRoom will drop privileges after opening
ports if it is made set-uid. We recommend port 8000 for the web server and a
port string of '7000,6666-6669' for the IRC server.

For support, go to our home page, www.webmaster.com, and click on the
Support button at the top or email <support@conferenceroom.com>

To install ConferenceRoom, run the 'install' program from the same directory
this RELEASE file is in. The command to do that would normally be
'./install' after using the 'cd' to command to make the installation
directory the current directory.

CAUTION: Do not, under any circumstances, install ConferenceRoom in a
directory that is accessible through a web server. Do not install it into a
virtual host directory or document directory of any kind. If you do so,
ConferenceRoom's security may be completely compromised.
