I don't think I ever got a "What's new" for 5.5; we get one copy of printed
stuff for the site. The online docs supplied with 5.5 were all for 5.4
weren't they?

I'll have a play with the threaded stuff and see how well it works. We do a
*lot* of FFT work and multi-threading might really speed that up (it might
even convince people here to stop using 5.1).

I've not got my copy of 5.6 yet...
