o The custom chips was not correctly displayed.
(Reported by Marius Sundbakken and Christoph Rickers)
o Changed some details of expansions display.
o Fixed bug by displaying the CPU usage of tasks in per cent. The
stack size of Scout's cheat task was not correctly set.
(Reported by Peter Kaltstein and Andreas Fredriksson)
o Changed scan routine of locks (with help from Gary Duncan).
Perhaps a bug was removed by getting the list of locks.
o Fixed portlist killing bug. (This bug happened sometimes, if
Scout was started more than once.) =¦^(
o Scout did not correctly recognize the 68060 cpu.
(Reported by Lee Huggett)
o Now all flags should be displayed with their names.
(Hi Marius! =¦^)
o Fixed MEMSIZE display bug in expansions detail window.
(Reported by Tony Leneis)

detail window of windows and screens.
(Reported by Mario Kemper)
12-Dec-95 Release 2.5 Program version 37.124
o Fixed small bug in the display of expansion data (AmiTCP).

=¦^)

commands.
Example:
1> scout startup "OpenWindow Tasks"
o Now there's no border for an active object by opening
a list window. If you want to use the cursor keys for the
listview gadgets, you have to press TAB first.
o Added command 'PrintList <ListCharacter> <FileName>'.
This command is available via ARexx and shell (as parameter).
o Small memory eating bug fixed. It only appears by using
Scout as client or daemon (TCP/IP).
