    Example: SOS.exe /clearads
* Restart FireBird as part of SOS loading procedure.
* SOSChecker will now check that only one instance of SOSChecker can be running at any time.

* Added LAME MP3 encoder.
* Added TCP Client event adaptor (AVAdaptor is thus no longer needed)

[26 June 2008] SOS v4.7.3 (BETA5)

[25 June 2008] SOS v4.7.2 (BETA4)
* Robust encoder "Auto-restart" now disabled by default. You should only need to enable this if you encounter "lag" due to soundcard timing issues.
** (You must edit the SOS.xml configuration file directly - search for "DoRestart").
* Added message [ROBUST] at end of format string for robust encoders to identify them easier.
* Better title streaming support for IceCast - you can now set a custom "title streaming" template.
* Updated startup BAT files to latest tested versions.

[1 May 2008] SOS v4.7.1 (BETA3)
* Kill process if graceful shutdown does not succeed (SOS and Remote encoders).
* Changed RunOnce to use PostMessage instead of SendMessage. SendMessage got stuck every now and then.
* SOSChecker now waits for safe_shutdown.bat to finish before calling safe_start.bat
* safe_start.bat and safe_shutdown.bat will now again be overridden during install. sos_utils.bat however will not be.

* Robust WM encoder.

[16 April 2008] SOS v4.6.8
* Changed installer slightly to allow installation of "SOS-Autostart.bat" file in Startup folder.
* safe_*.bat files will not be overwritten by install. This allows you to modify the safe_start and safe_shutdown scripts to your needs.

[3 April 2008] SOS v4.6.7
* Added additional COM port options in event adaptors (COM1 to COM20)

[8 March 2008] SOS v4.6.6
* Uses FireBird Super-server runtime. (Previously only used during DB creation with /fbss flag)
* Added /NODBCHECK flag. This will skip the DB check, thus avoiding the DB file getting locked.

* Improved StreamAds to better detect duration upon update for advertisements.
* Fixed spelling of "separation" in config screen.

[19 Nov 2007] SOS v4.6.4

[1 December 2006] SOS v4.5.4
* Fixed latency problem with reading packets from NextGen.
* Changed check for Playcount so it is also applied for "Auto" fixed lists (as one can switch from "auto" to "fixed" at any time, which may cause 
  newer files to loop until it catches up on the playcount).
