Mascot Server 2.8.3 patch release
Mascot Server 2.8.3 has been released. This patch fixes six small bugs in the search engine (nph-mascot.exe), four in Mascot Perl scripts, one in ms-monitor.exe regarding a spurious log message and one issue with licensing on AMD EPYC processors.
We recommend all users to install the update. The cumulative update from 2.8.0, 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 can be downloaded from the support page.

- 14340: Executable aborts immediately on AMD EPYC 7763 if creating an ms_processors object
