Changes:
========
Version 2.5.7:
  -  SW will now create a Thunderbolt network when connecting two hosts via Thunderbolt 
     controllers: Windows-to-Windows and Windows-to-MacOS, on L5000 and L5110 controllers.
  -  For better usability, the SysTray application can be activated through its binary
     shortcut from the Windows Start menu as well.
  
Version 2.0.4:
  -  Added support for L5110 controllers. 
  -  Added a service component to the SW stack.
  -  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
     (except if user has one of these screens open: Settings, Manage Approved Devices).
  -  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). 
  -  Removed support from Windows 8 32b & 64b and from Windows 8.1 32b.

  -  Added toast notifications to notify users on need to approve newly connected devices (Win8,
     Win 8.1)

Resolved Issues
===============
 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.


Known Issues
============
4926173 In Windows 8.1 Uninstall does not clean all driver data if there is a Thunderbolt 
         networking up during uninstall. In that case the Thunderbolt SW drivers will stay up
         until the connection is disconnected.

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:
         - Devices marked as "Always Connect" need to be re-approved.

4926352 When security level is "Secure Connect", after disconnecting and reconnecting devices while
         the PC is in sleep mode, the authorization window will not automatically open but the devices
         still need to be re-authorized.

4926420 Authorization for Thunderbolt networking with multiple peers must be done one peer at a
         time, otherwise authorization will not be saved.

4926409 If a peer is connected behind a device, the authorization form may not show up immediately
         until the Thunderbolt networking is authorized on the other peer first.

4926551 When setting up a Thunderbolt networking between 3 or more hosts using Windows bridging,
         if the Thunderbolt networking interface reports 'Link Down', disconnect and reconnect the hosts.
