Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv23403/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt Log Message: Reduced lifetime for a server in cache from 20 to 5 client attempts to use metaserver. 20 was just too long especially in light of INL servers that pop on and off the metaserver on a frequent basis. Added check in savemetascache to not save servers that aren't responding to ping requests, as they are either defunct, or the metacache entry for that server name is somehow corrupted. Undid the change in order of loading metacache and receiving metaserver info, didn't see any change in performance from the change.
