Previously, the serial forwarder would only release the COM port on exit.  Now it provides the ability to temporarily release or reconnect to the COM port when you close/open your source.  The SF GUI demonstrates this ability when you connect to your mote, stop the server and verify you can reprogram your mote at that time, restart the sf server and verify you can continue communicating with that mote... all without closing down your serial forwarder.
