- This release adds a new command line option:
  -StorageSnapshotFile <ssfname>

  The argument <ssfname> is the name of the storage snapshot file that
  you want Palm OS Simulator to load at start or upon hard reset.

  You can also specify the storage snapshot file in the initialization
  file (palmsim.ini).  Note that the storage image size specified by
  the storage snapshot file must match the current storage size
  setting.

- Palm OS Simulator now supports the keyDown event modifiers listed in
  SysEvent.h, including shiftKeyMask, capsLockMask, numLockMask,
  commandKeyMask, optionKeyMask, and controlKeyMask.

- Palm OS Simulator now supports applications that connect and
  disconnection via TCP using the serial over TCP communication
  setting.

- Palm OS Simulator now supports HostSessionQuit and HostSessionClose

 - Trying to install a database that is already active can cause
   Palm OS Simulator to crash.  Switch to another application before
   re-installing a PRC file that you have already installed.

 - While running Gremlins, you cannot change Palm OS Simulator
   options that require a reset (for example, enabling sound or
   changing color depth).
