What's new in 3.6.3
This is a bug fix release. A bug was fixed in the Auto Lock feature. (See Preferences->Security).
This is a preference to lock a document after a number of minutes. Enabling this feature
could cause data corruption in a card while the Enter Sheet was displayed for a card.
One other improvement: the command shortcut for Preferences is now Cmd-,
(this is a new User Interface Guideline for Panther).
What's new in 3.6.2
Web Confidential 3.6.2 is a maintenance release for Panther. In particular,
the Type Ahead feature again works in Panther.
Version 3.6.2 fixes the incompatibilities with Panther. Problems
with the copy and paste shortcuts in the Edit Sheet are fixed.
Some other small bugs were also fixed. Changes also for iCab and Safari.
