On a related note, the VSI C Runtime Library manual has disappeared from https://docs.vmssoftware.com/ so I'm assuming it's in the process of being replaced with an updated version. I have a feeling that everyone in VSI engineering is very busy preparing to release V9.2-2 which is why they've been relatively quiet as of late.
