Changes:

  -  The SW components (driver, service and System Tray application) will start automatically 
     when a new Thunderbolt device is connected and will go down when no devices are connected

  -  When Policy settings are changed via the system tray application the settings are applied 
     to connected devices without the need to disconnect them.
  -  System Tray application displays error messages when in No Security mode (Legacy mode).
  -  System Tray application supports moving devices from "connect once" to "always connect" via
     the Approve Devices dialog.
  -  When a non-admin connects a new device there will be a persistent dialog indicating the 
     new device (instead of a balloon that disappears).

     Win 8.1)

Resolved Issues
===============

4925955 Some devices are defined by the manufacturer to block connection if the device
        is not the first device in the chain. If one of these devices was connected to a
        lower level in the chain an error message was shown. The error message
        incorrectly stated that there is a problem with a non-supported security mode.

4925866 Toast notifications in the new Windows 8 User Interface were not working.
        If you inserted a device (for the first time) when working in this UI, the approval
        dialog was not shown.

4925757 Only one user account was able to run the Thunderbolt SW at a time. The software was
        "locked" by the first user that logs on to the computer. 



Known Issues
============


 4926127 In this version the SW stack goes down when the last device is disconnected. However, 
         the system tray application will stay up if the last device is disconnected within a few
         seconds of the user changing the settings. 
 

 4926215 The system tray application does not function correctly on a Windows 7 Guest account and 
         must be run as an administrator in order to perform any operation.


 4926270 Rollback during uninstall is only partially implemented, so that if a user clicks Cancel
         at a specific point during uninstall the SW will be in a partially-installed state, and
         cannot be easily uninstalled or re-installed.

 4926297 SW upgrade does not bring the following from previous installations:
         - FW policy (need to be re-set)
         - Devices marked as "Always Connect" need to be re-approved.

 4926287 Localization (translation) is supported to many languages. However, When running in an 
         English OS with a non-English language pack, and running in the Admin user, the installer
         comes up in English.


 4926303, 4926308  When the BIOS is in Secure Connect mode, and connecting a chain of devices where
         a device in the middle of the chain does not support Secure Connect, the dialog for approving
         devices may be mal-formed and when trying to approve the device first in the chain the UI may
         crash. This can be resolved by removing the non-supported device from the chain.
