Fundamentally this is a 25th Anniversary release of WASD, rather than any
significant leap forward.  Essentially v11.3 with a small number of tweaks
and fixes applied.  In any case, a quarter century of continuous development
should not go unremarked.

Ideally, this would have been released in June but for multiple reasons
slipped to July (the first entry in the WASD version log is "20-JUN-1994 MGD
v1.0.0 single-threaded version", even though webby development was actually
being tinkered with in 1993).

As described, a major change with v11.4.0 is the introduction of a new
document processing system.  Since inception, WASD documentation largely has
been authored using DEC (previously VAX) Document, a text markup to target
output processor.  Originally producing PostScript for printers, HTML
versions were generated using a WASD utility SDM2HTM, and PDF versions using
VMS-hosted GhostScript from intermediate PostScript.

The new documentation generator, wasDOC, also a text markup processor,
targeting HTML, developed specifically to decouple WASD documentation from a
long unsupported layered product, can be considered a general VMS
documentation tool and is available as a standalone kit.

The WASD documentation is now located in /wasd_root/wasdoc/

  https://wasd.vsm.com.au/wasd_root/wasdoc/

A selective update from v11.3.0[x] to v11.4.0 is possible using
@[INSTALL]SELECT

  https://wasd.vsm.com.au/wasd_root/install/select.com

A cumulative update (CUP) also is available to bring the v11.3.0[a,b,c]
server to v11.3.0d which is functionally equivalent to the v11.4.0 server.

Kits also are available for the recent OpenSSL 1.1.1c and 1.0.2s releases.

These can be had from the usual location

Thanks to those who assisted in field testing various aspects of this
release.

Regards, Mark.
