fixed a bug in the installation of 2nd-level mirrors over already installed avast managed client
fixed several bugs in 2nd level mirrors
improved code for AMS detection on the network

implemented a limit for the maximum number of items returned by a query (the default is 50,000)
fixed a synchronization bug that could lead even to a lockup of the management server (only with MSDE database)
added support for deployment on SQL 2005 and on case-sensitive collations (both SQL 2000 and 2005)

improved logging in case of database connection problems
added new report "Virus infections summary", suitable especially to find out which viruses have been found on a given machine (or machines)
fixed a bug in the machine discovery via ActiveDirectory - in the previous version, only a maximum of 1,000 was found
MSDE setup now doesn't install "SQL Server Service Manager"

correct handling of machines with more than 2GB RAM or 64-bit Windows
speed optimizations in the management server

implemented remote access to virus chests (from the console)
console: added the possibility to create custom event filters
console: added the possibility to verify machine(s) online status (ping)
mails with reports now use the MIME format instead of UUEncode and are therefore readable even in WebMails (e.g. GMail)
