- Fixed a missing script in the Terminal.fp7 example file.
- Corrected the path of logs files in the document filemaker-server-side-plug-ins.htm.

- Significantly improved speed of triggering scripts when data comes in.
- Fixed a bug when using the waitstring parameter in Serial_SetDispatchScript.
- Improved triggering when a script is already running:.
- If a script is already running: the plug-in will pause the current running script, run the trigger script and then automatically pick up the original script where it left off.
- If a script is paused: the plug-in will pause the current running script, run the trigger script. When the trigger script is finished, the original script is still paused.
- If you want different behaviour: add a Halt or Pause/Resume step in your trigger script.
- Added “-ResumeWhenScriptPaused” switch to Serial_Open function: this changes the behaviour of the trigger script: if another script is already running and is paused, the paused script will now resume after the trigger script is finished.
