Version 8.6.0 contains important new features like the ability to monitor files via wildcards in imfile. It also contains new, experimental zero message queue modules (special thanks to team member Brian Knox), improvements to RainerScript and mmnormalize (thanks to Singh Janmejay) and a couple of other improvements.

This release also contains important bug fixes.

This is a recommended upgrade for all users.
