URGENT REQUEST TO UPGRADE XELAGOTS

A new version of Xelagot 3.309 fixes a bug I discovered today in the
property query code: if the bot's Object cache was used for querying
(surveying) property, old deleted objects would sometimes reappear in
the surveys and in backups. Due to this bug, some scripts could fail
to work at random moments. This is a serious bug, so please upgrade!

The functions affected are:

* verbal command queries
* all surveys made by querying with the Survey Manager if the cache
was used
* action script surveys with "QueryAt at a" that do not specify
"QueryUseCache OFF"
* action script "ProjectBackup" as from Xelagot version 3.3 (before
then, this function did not use the cache). This includes the world
backup scripts distributed with X1 (they are safe to use after
upgrading)

Not affected are:
* backups/propdumps made with the Survey Manager's "Backup" tool using
the iteration method
* "ProjectBackup" scripts used before Xelagots version 3.3

Note that this bug does not make you lose objects, but it will add
unnecesary objects and may cause the Object Inspector to squeak.

The web pages still mention the old version at the time of writing
this, but the downloadable files are the new version.

The beta 3.405 has also been updated with this fix.

My apologies if this bug has caused inconveniences,
XelaG
