+RELEASE NOTES - SCREENGRABBER v4.2.0
+RELEASED 14th May 2009

+SUPPORTS S60 3.0+
+
+===============================================================================
+
+Product Description:
+====================
+ScreenGrabber tool is used to capture images and video of the visible screen
+area in S60 platform. Captures can be handled with the Media Gallery
+application or with PC when the device is connected via PC suite.
+
+Main Features:
+==============
+- Image capture in single or in sequential mode supporting PNG, JPEG and BMP
+  formats
+- Video capture in animated GIF format
+- Configurable saving format, hotkey, time delta in sequential mode, target
+  memory and default filename
+- Ability to change the screen mode to one of the supported more by the device
+
+===============================================================================
+
+What's New in v4.2.0
+====================
+- Feature: Added a new SIS file for S60 3.2 devices and newer to support the
+  features in newer platforms
+- Feature: Added multidrive support in the settings dialog
+
+===============================================================================
+
+Installation Notes:
+===================
+ScreenGrabber is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
+ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
+directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
+In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
+internal\sis directory.
+
+When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
+needed:
+  WriteDeviceData
+  SwEvent
+
+When builing ScreenGrabber against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your
+SDK environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to
+the instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.
