5.16.00 Jul 17 2021
Important notes (changes that may break existing code)
======================================================
* Updated messaging subject header to v5 to support packet size.
Notice newer servers will adjust to old clients, but newer clients will
not be able to communicate with older servers, unless you specifically
downgrade the header version (client side), or update the server.
Downgrade the header version by setting the transport.Params propety like this:
yourtransport.Params.Values[KBMMW_TRANSPORT_PARAM_SUBJECTHEADERVERSION]:='4';
* Updated TkbmMWORM's LINQ to support Delete and Update.
May require minor changes to existing code to compile.
