What's New in UniPlot 5.2.0
===========================

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.2.0 since version 5.1.2.

New Features
------------

* UniPlot is now avaliable as a floating license (Concurrent License).
  If you are interested in a floating license please contact us.

* In older versions of the UniPlot setup program the license key could
  not be set in the command line. Beginning with UniPlot 5.2.0 the new key,
  ``/LIC=NNN``, can be used to set the license key. NNN is the complete license
  key. Example::

    up520.exe /S /LIC=NNN /D="C:\Program Files\UniPlot-520"

* New addin to import TransPC files (.TPC) has been added.
  See :ref:`import-of-transpc-data-files`.

* PDF Export has been added. Ghostscript must be installed to enable
  the PDF Export. 
  See :ref:`filemore-file-functionssave-document-pages-as-a-pdf-file`.

* A new command has been added to create a surface fit for a 3D dataset. The
  function can create a polynomial least squares fit up to the third order.
  See :ref:`data--3D-polynomial-fit`.

*  The zoom factor for IPW pages is now displayed in the toolbar.

* The alpha version of the interface for the new UniPlot file format
  has been added. See :ref:`overview-updf-files`. The release version is planned 
  for 2007.

* Copy diagram: In older versions only one diagram could be copied to the
  clipboard. Now all selected diagrams can be copied.

Bug Fixes
---------

The following bugs have been fixed:

* (ID0173): The documentation for the :ref:`browsercreate-new-nc-file`
  command was missing.

* (ID0743): Akima spline: The function to calculate the akima spline did not
  compute the last data point correctly. Sometimes the last point was a huge 
  negative number. This bug has been fixed.

* (ID1107): IFILE: If the file contained one or more channel with 0-length the
  following incorrect error message was displayed: "IFiles with multiple
  resolutions are not supported in this version". Now the file will be created.
  All channels with 0-length will be skipped.

* (ID1111): The output of the :ref:`nonlin` function into the command window
  was incorrect due to a Unicode problem in versions 5.0.0 to 5.1.2.

* (ID1112): :ref:`ncgen_exe`, :ref:`ncdump_exe` and :ref:`up3dv_exe`
  did not start on computers where Microsoft C-Runtime-DLLs (:file:`msvcrtd.dll`)
  (Debug) were missing. This error occurred only in UniPlot 5.1.0 to 5.1.2.

* (ID1119): The :ref:`DialogBox` function did not initialize the radio buttons
  correctly.

* (ID1121): The :ref:`auto_GetFileNameDialog` created an error if the
  specified directory did not contain any data files.

* (ID1122): Undo function: The dataset Name, Info text and legend text
  was removed if the undo function was executed. This was a bug in
  all UniPlot 5 versions.

* (ID1124): UTX-Filter: Channel attributes were not handled correctly if
  the attributes values were empty or contained numbers but not text.

* (ID1026): Table Object: For hight zoom factors the column with and row height
  could not be modified using the mouse.

* (ID1127): Table Object: Global document placeholders were not updated
  it the cell name contained a placeholder value. The result was that the text
  could not be changed because the field function would reset the text to the 
  old value.

* (ID1130): If :ref:`NC_Edit` was invoked during start up some of the commands
  e.g. Copy would not work.

* (ID1131): Formula Interpreter: If a formula name was identical to
  a global attribute of the NC file, the depending channels were not updated.
  Now the global attribute will be ignored. The Help button in the
  :ref:`toolsformulalist` did not open the correct help topic. The button
  "Remove Formula" did not remove a formula if the corresponding ic File did 
  not exist. A new command has been added to the context menu of the NC browser
  to remove all formula channels from an NC file.

* (ID1135): Data Browser: If the freeze command was selected for
  an already frozen channel an error occurred.

* (ID1136): Program Editor: The "save As" command failed without an error
  message if the directory was write protected. The window title displayed the
  new location even if the file was not saved.

* (ID1142) Debugger: If a UniScript file name contained more than one
  period, e.g.. :file:`Test.1.1.2006.ic` the file could not be debugged.

* (ID1145): Graphic Export: The save directory could not be set using the Browse
  button.

* (ID1151): ASAM-ODS-3-Configuration: The Save directory for NC files
  could not be set using the Browse button.
