ANN: HotSpot SDK 4.0.1 release

A minor release with a big version change.

We’ve changed the HotSpot SDK to use an in-proc DLL instead of out-proc for the core COM object.

Not a big change, but using a DLL will make the core component far easier to deploy. Many deployment tools, like the one shipped with older versions of Visual Basic, will quite happily install an in-proc DLL but not an out-proc EXE. Don’t ask me why, that’s just the way it is.

One side effect of the change over to in-proc has been a nice code speed-up in the order of around 50%. Not too shabby

We’ve also fixed a minor anomaly with the Senturion when an external probe was removed.
