v2.0  (2/6/97)
•	There have been numerous bug fixes in this release.  Some of these could cause random crashes, while others were simply logic errors, but that is what the beta testing period is all about.  In any case, the goal was to get v2.0 to be as stable as the old v1.3.5 release, and I think that this has now been accomplished.
•	One annoyance that has been around since the pre-v1.0 releases is that if PSM started as maximized, loading a file would un-maximize (restore) it.  This has been fixed.
•	Another annoyance is that in order to open an .stk file on startup, you had to add its to the command line.  This has also been fixed, and PSM will now automatically re-open the last used document on startup.
•	Async host lookups have finally been implemented!  What this means for you is that PSM will no longer lock up when not connected to the 'net.
•	Better handling of short sales has been implemented.  This includes calculating the gain when stock is repurchased to cover a short sale.
•	The ANS InterLock proxy server, depending on how it is configured, does not use the standard form of proxy authentication with PSM.  A workaround has been implemented in this release.
•	The transaction history feature is very new and is therefore not fully fleshed out.  Improvements will be forthcoming in a future release.
v2.0fb  (1/7/97)
•	The default quote server for this release has been moved from the regular PC Quote server to the PC Quote MarketSmart Delayed server.  This change was requested by the PC Quote administration, but the consequence of this action is that (free) registration is now required with PC Quote in order to get a user name and password.  You can register by going to http://www.pcquote.com and signing up for the free delayed quotes. 
•	Starting with the v2.0 Final Beta, there is a new registration key scheme in place.  If you previously registered v1.x, you will have to get a new registration key in order to continue using the software past the 30-day trial period.  Check out the PSM home page for upgrade information.
•	Due to inclusion of the transaction log, the .stk file format has again changed.  Saving copies of your old .stk files is highly recommended.
•	Since a transaction log is now a standard feature, loading an .stk file created with previous versions of PSM will cause automatic generation of transaction records for all current portfolio items.
•	As usual, a few features were left out due to lack of time.  Such is life when only the software is written by one person, and only in his spare time.  However, suggestions for new features are still welcome.
