All users of the plugin can upgrade to this version (GhostXML now requires Indigo 7.x). The GhostXML plugin now uses considerably fewer system resources and all users running versions older than 0.4.04 are strongly encouraged to upgrade their plugins.

Highlights:

v0.4.06 - Adds new Action Item to adjust the refresh frequency of a specified GhostXML device. - Improves device configuration validation and help bubble text.

v0.4.05 - Adds feature to automatically disable a device if it has failed to refresh 10 times.

v0.4.01 - Requires Indigo 7.0 - Updates to Indigo API 2.0 - Removes Toggle Debug from plugin menu.
