View source for Analytica 4.5 beta Release Notes/Changes in 4.5.0.16

[[Category: Analytica 4.5]]

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 <code>Revenue1376938019</code>. This keeps identifiers free that you might want for yourself, like <code>Revenue1</code>.

* 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 <code>Revenue1</code>, and you create a new variable and name it <code>Revenue1</code>, 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).
