Analytica 4.5 beta Release Notes/Changes in 4.5.0.16

This page lists the notable fixes in beta build 4.5.0.16 since build 4.5.0.14. This is not a complete list .. limited to things of note to beta users of 4.5.0.14.

Stability

• Fixed a GDI Object leak that would cause the application to stop drawing after it has been it use for a few hours.

Aliases and squatter rights

• Alias nodes, input and output nodes, text and picture nodes are now created initially with a very unique identifier that makes it unlikely to ever experience an identifier collision. For example, an alias of Variable Revenue might have the identifier Revenue1376938019. This keeps identifiers free that you might want for yourself, like Revenue1.

• Aliases, input, output, text and picture nodes don't have squatter's rights for an identifier. So if an existing model has an alias with the identifier Revenue1, and you create a new variable and name it Revenue1, it silently renames the alias and gives your variable that identifier without issuing an error that the identifier is already taken.

• When adding a module or library to your model, if a collision occurs between an alias, input, output, text or picture node and a real object, the alias gets renamed without asking any questions.

Graphing

• Fixed a bug where, in some special cases, totals on graphs where showing values that were off by a factor of 1M (e.g., graphing 2M instead of 2).

• The pop-up balloons on graphs would show info on the wrong data point in cases where some data points were data types (like References) that are ungraphable.

• Fixed some cases where Change color series... was having to effect on the color.

Built-in functions

• The names of the local indexes automatically created by MdArrayToTable were changed from I and L to Rows and Cols. (These are new to 4.5, so only impact you if you used this feature in the previous build).
