Re: [Aria-users] Autodocking

[Matt LaFary <lafary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The next release will be a few months yet.  We only broke 
ArServerClasses up into two files (docking and the rest). 
Reimplementing or adding to the things in ArServerClasses is sort of an 
advanced task.  If you wonder whats there and want to see more easily 
all the classes are listed in the documentation.
