VDDT Release Notes
==================

Known Issues in Version 6.0.0025
---------------------------------
EBt2080 - Bug - The define Year type multiplier screen crashes VDDT when it is selected from
the Variation Menu.
138 - Bug - Some users have reported that the mean line results on some graphs can't be viewed properly.  This is not reproducible on most systems.
143 - Bug - Exported prb file will sometimes have an incorrect project name.
148 - Bug - Changes under 'Run | Settings | Options' to use TSD are not always saved.
156 - Bug - Run Settings must be closed for number of timesteps to go to memory and be properly applied to region sequencing.
158 - Bug - Status bar is active during model run, it should not be.
159 - Bug - Status bar is not always functional.
187 - Bug - Under some conditions the main menu becomes disabled when an attribute file is imported
192 - Bug - Incorrect project names are visible during the file import/export process. The actual projects being transfered are correct and at the end of the process are associated with the correct name.
233 - Bug - Comparison for random draw against probabilities should be rand<prob not <= this is causing zero probabilities to occur rarely.
234 - Bug - Memory of transition group membership for transition types is not tracked in the definitions ui until closing.  This causes problems when transition types are removed from a group and the user then tries to add them to another.
274 - Bug - Attribute graph series in the graph options are not visible for newly created attributes until save, close and reopen project.
