information.

Component Version : 2.01.01.12
Release Date
: April 29, 2010
1.) Now set periodic timer resolution using timeBeginPeriod and
timeEndPeriod.
2.) Timestamp fetched using GetSystemTimeAsFiletime, which possibly
improves resolution.
3.) Small change in sending UDP guard messages with goal of improving
elapsed time measurement.
4.) Now raise thread priority to THREAD_PRIORITY_ABOVE_NORMAL.
======================================================================

======================================================================
Component Version : 2.01.01.04
Release Date
