'BugFixes'
- Interview directories ending with '.QEX' instead of '.qex' where not processed when sending interviews. Note that AskiaFace created the directory correctly (in lower case), so this only occurred when renaming the directories manually.

'BugFixes'
- In some cases the connection to could be lost without the application it (e.g. when CCA unplugs the network cable). Until now these broken sockets where only discovered when trying to send data. By enabling the TCP keep-alive mechanism they will be discovered sooner (within 1 minute).
- Incorrect error message 'password incorrect' when agent doesn't exist.
- When an agent is no longer assigned to a certain survey when connecting to Cca:
- The interviews on his client won't be sent to Cca.
- The quota dialog can get confused.
- Sometimes a warning 'Could not open *****.qex (Error: File not found)' is shown, even though everything works fine afterwards.
- When a survey is no longer in use, the qex and resources isn't deleted (or moved to the RemovedQuestionnaires directory).
- When changing the 'use encryption' setting, the new value wasn't taken into account until after the next reboot.
- Message box 'save interview?' was lost behind dialog if the user clicked outside it (and could only be restored with alt-tab).

'BugFixes'
- Possible crash on startup after receiving an update of a questionnaire with a deleted question, while there are still interviews on disk.
'BugFixes'
- The encrypted passwords where different in Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows CE and Windows XP or higher because of different encryption defaults in the operating systems. When using different operating systems for CCA the login failed with the error 'password incorrect'. This fixed h2. makes sure that for all operating systems the same password is generated as Windows XP and higher.
- Because of the same reason as above, using the 'encrypted connection' when CCA is running on a different operating system was impossible.
- When using an empty password, the first time when you try to connect with CCA, the password is rejected.
- Fixed several errors in the French version.
'Changes / New Features'
