Wizard:

1. When BuildPlus cannot suggest a search path for a particular filetype, the search path in Wizard is left blank instead of being filled in with the default "C:\".
   
2. The option to select DGN files to include in your project has been added.
3. When the "Apply" button is pressed to change search directories to match that of the main search path, the changes will not be applied to any filetype that refers to the special "Decomposer" directories created in the project directory for Composer projects.
   
4. For the xdc files and colorder.dat and fontdef.dat files, the selection has been automated more if only a single folder-single file is found for the listed filetype.
   

BuildPlus:

1. The Database-Graphics Associations have been improved to allow for mutliple associations to be done for global graphics paths.
   
2. When the user is running with the programs and files from the Overrides directory, this setting will be indicated in the error files so that the user knows that he is not building with the original build kit.
   
3. DBSpec.vbs is now triggered to run for all builds.
   
4. There is now a "Recent Projects" option under the "File" menu.
   
5. A "Refresh" button has been added to the toolbar so that the menus, toolbar button states and project settings can be updated with a push of a button.
   
6. BuildPlus now ensures that the extracted databases all have unique names to avoid conflicts with later processing in DBSpec.
   
7. If Batch files are being included in a build and there are multiple UNT files being associated to one B90 file, then BuildPlus will create a clone of these files in the project directory in the "BATCH" subfolder.
   
8. The build logs for the project have been moved to the "LOGS" folder located in the project directory. The Management of Change files have also been moved into their own "MOC" folder in the project directory.
   
9. Ladder modules are now included in the "Duplicate Module Header" resolution as it would wrong to build the same module for both Ladder and CAD.
   
10. When starting a project from the "Build" button, BuildPlus will now check to see if new SODG graphics folders have been added to the original search path for graphics (specified in Wizard).
    
11. BuldPlus now writes a summary of the types of filtered errors from the hyperlink run and the number encountered of each type into the DBDOC.ERR, DBDOC_RESIDUAL.ERR and DBDOC_SUMMARY.ERR files for ease of reference.
    
12. BuildPlus will check to see if an Access database is created by Access 97 before carrying out any database processing as our database utilities do not handle Access 2000.
    
13. The detection of a different version of MCRSize.dbf will now trigger a full decomposer run for all Composer projects.
    
14. The "Decomposer Directory Source" window is now an independent window that can be kept open while you perform other operations in BuildPlus.
    

Hyperlink:

1. Code has been implemented in order to facilitate the launching of the Graphics Cross-References in its own separate floating window.
   
2. Titles are now limited to 128 characters in order for Mediaview Compiler to accept them.
   
3. Sizing of data for continuous live loop monitoring on Conductor NT graphics has been corrected so that it is consistent.
   
4. Hyperlink will check for incorrectly set spec 20 on FC 177 as this spec means there will not be an alarm when there possibly should be.
   
5. Overlapping External Block definitions are now handled.
   
6. Hyperlink generates three unused tag reports - Unused_tags.txt, Unused-alarm_tags.txt and Unused-unconfigured_tags.txt.
   
7. Various fixes have gone in to handle FC 156 and FC 136.
   
8. Tags that are not on their primary display are now being reported.
   
9. Hyperlink will report tagnames which contain a '/' in them if they are PCView as such tags are illegal in PCView.
   
10. Support has been added to implement the "View As Dynamic Bar" feature in Hyperview. (See Hyperview #4)
    
11. New support has been added to handle the processing of DGN files.
    
12. Support for AutoCAD 2004 has been added.
    
13. A new directive to strip off prefixes on tags in Wonderware databases has been added.
    
14. The orientation of vertical text on Conductor NT graphics has been fixed.
    
15. Trend configuration and historical database tags are now getting linked to correctly in the xdcdump file.
    
16. There are improvements in drawing Conductor NT graphics.
    
17. Additional support for new tagatoms has been added.
    
18. The number of rung blocks in ladder files reported in our summary files has been corrected.
    
19. Conductor NT graphics can now be called up by number.
    

Hyperview:

1. The Graphics Cross-Reference are now presented in its own separate floating window.
   
2. Overlapping External Block definitions are now handled.
   
3. You can now search for tags in the "Define Live Loop Annotation" dialog with psuedotags, scanned tags or other aliases.
   
4. Display any data as a dynamic bar graph whether it is binary or analog.
   
5. The graphing of Function Code 1 has been corrected where the last point was getting missed.
   
6. Live loop monitoring boxes on ladder files have been fixed so that they are the correct size.
   
7. The new command line switch MonitorOff allows the user to specify that live loop monitoring be turned off after a given interval (in minutes).
   
8. The "Manage Bookmarks" dialog is now sizable and its settings retained between runs of Hyperview.
   
9. Support for DGN files has been added (in conjunction with Hyperlink).
   
10. Bitmaps on Conductor NT graphics now get printed when the graphic is printed.
    

Decomposer:

1. Work has been put in in order to enable the faciliation of the floating cross- reference in Hyperview. (See Hyperview #1)
   
2. Decomposer translates the EBY name into the appropriate user name or CAD name for easier reference by the user.
   
3. A problem where Decomposer "got lost parsing" a client CLD file has been resolved.

6. SYMEMPTY.DBF has been modified to handle up to 64 character long names.
   

Database Utilities:

1. Our visual basic scripts have been modified to set the locale to "en-us" in order for processing to occur correctly when operating on systems with differently set locales.
   
2. Tags that are specified Module 0,00,00 Block 0000 are not included in our TD_NOLIST when it is extracted with our DBSynth program (for FoxPro databases).
   
3. New database templates have been included for our TTX2DBF processing (for TTG,TTR databases).
