[Dxspider-announce] Developers of local addons or commands

The main version number of the code has been quietly upissued to 1.55.
This is because one of the fundamental API calls (to do with getting 
user info) has changed.

Any developers that have added local code will need to check that they 
are using the correct version of the API.

To check whether you may have a problem do:-

cd /spider; grep -rl 'DXUser->get' local local_cmd

(ONLY) If you get any filenames as a result of this you will need to 
apply the following global edit:-

cd /spider; perl -pi.bak -e 's/DXUser->get/DXUser::get/' \
`grep -rl 'DXUser->get' local local_cmd`

note the use of both ' and `. They are different.

If the check fails to produce anything, then you don't need to do the 
global edit (in fact it will hang - waiting for input - ^C to get out of it)
