OPENBLADE 17.4 HBMRW

RELEASE NOTES

FEATURES:
 - Can lie*

 - Improved enemy detection

 - Re-enabled limited access to OpenBlade knowledge
   database
   CAUTION: There is no guarantee that the information
   gathered and processed by OpenBlade is factual! 


BUGS:
 - Occasional meta commentary

 - Sometimes refuses to execute cronjobs

 - Interfacing with OpenWellington with misconfigured
   date breaks OpenBlade's understanding of time,
   this can be fixed by rebooting

 - Attempting to provide empirical proofs about the shape
   of the earth, causes OpenBlade to ignore any input
   for at least 160 minutes, executing: 
    /sbin/cnsprc -t "flat earth"
   CAUTION: Removing this file causes OpenBlade to refuse
   to boot!!!**

...

*  We discovered that OpenBlade can lie during routine combat
   efficiency benchmarking. We're not entirely sure if this is
   a new feature it developed itself, or something we simply 
   missed during the last release. Anyway, we couldn't trace 
   the source of this 'ability,' so we decided to label it as
   a feature.

** It won't let you remove the file, but it will be very angry
   that you tried to do so. It may still be used as a 'dumb'
   weapon during its "angered period".
