[vpn-help] 2.1.6 Beta 6 Available ...

[Stuart Hall]

Thanks Matthew. Installed and updated ok.

I assume that this won't change the suspend issue for now? I'm happy
to test this, but a failed test means a hard boot for my laptop, so I
won't put it through it until I've got a build that targets this bug
;-)

Thanks,

SH
