Many new changes have been introduced to QM 2.8-2 , including additional compatibility options.

Release 2.8-0 renames the subfiles that form a dynamic hashed file. In earlier releases these were ~0, ~1, etc. They have been renamed to %0, %1, etc because two PC cleanup utilities have been indentified that incorrectly assume that any files with names commencing with a tilde are temporary items that can be deleted.

QM now attempts to use telnet negotiation to determine the terminal type in use for users entering QM directly from a network. If this fails, it then falls back on the previous method of using the TERM environment variable.

The Personal Version of QM now allows simulataneous use of one interactive session, one QMClient session and one phantom process.

Resizing Files in Caché is no longer needed.  After you import your MultiValue data from your backup file using the MVIMPORT command, your files will no longer need to resized.

Caché uses an optimized b-tree structure for storing data in a sparse array.  This provides an additional benefit of this storage approach is that records are in ID order, not hash order.  When you use the LIST command, your data will be displayed in sorted order by ID.
