2.0 What's New in DHX OPC Server Suite 9.0
------------------------------------------

2.1 Common Updates
------------------
*  Some configuration editors and utilities did not scale the display properly
   on systems that used the display DPI scaling other than 100%. The problem
   was most noticeable on the new Ultra HD 4K displays. All affected applications
   have been corrected to properly handle the display’s DPI scaling.
   
*  Occasionally,  Windows Updates were corrupting the DHX/CLX devices configuration
   located in the Windows registry. To prevent future corruptions, the configuration
   information has been moved to a different location.
   
*  The Windows Start menu shortcuts are properly installed and handled on all
   supported Windows versions.

*  Some components have been updated to ensure consistency among
   all DHX products.

2.2 DHX Driver
--------------
*  The support for the legacy non-Plug-and-Play adapters, such as the 1784-KT,
   1784-KT2, 1784-KTCX, 1784-KTX, 1784-KTXD from Allen-Bradley, and 5136-SD,
   5136-SD-MCA from SST, has been removed.
