0...WHAT'S NEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

freeDUM 1.11 introduces a new explorer style interface and an advanced new
dialer which replaces the Windows 95 dialer automation used previously. The
dialer can dial silently in the background while you do other tasks and then
notify you by playing a defined wave file.

Some of the new features are :

- Component design which allows multiple Profiles share the same Connection,
  Log, Launch Folder and Custom Window.
- Launch Folders can launch applications at various times during a connection,
  define applications to launch only one and wait until an application closes
  before continuing or disconnects the connection.
- Close applications launched
- The freeDUM tray icon.
