Grinder 3.0-beta16
------------------

  Multicast is no longer used for distributing console messages
  signals.

  Multicast has been a frequent source of newbie problems, and has
  also made The Grinder unreasonably hard to use with some corporate
  network configurations. Console messages are now sent over TCP
  connections to the agent processes, which fan-out the signals to
  their worker processes. The processing is multi-threaded and
  asynchronous and I expect it to scale well.

  IMPORTANT: The communication properties have changed. The following
  properties can be set in grinder.properties:

    grinder.consoleHost	  (previously grinder.consoleAddress)
    grinder.consolePort
    grinder.useConsole    (previously grinder.receiveConsoleSignals /
	                     grinder.reportToConsole)

  The grinder.grinderAddress and grinder.grinderPort properties have
  been removed. Corresponding changes have been made to the console
  options dialog.
