Release Notes for Version 1.13 of Suppose:
N.L.Crookston RMRS-Moscow, May 17, 2000

Last revision of these notes:  December 27, 2000

Changes from version 1.12 to 1.13:

1. Changed the identification of "Cases" in the report/graph generator
to include leading zeros in the case number.  So, C1 is now C0001, and
case C23 is case C0023, and so on.  This provides better sorting when
the "List over Cases" is used in the report generator.

2. Fixed an bug that resulted in components being attached to a stand
and a group (same component, attached to two places). In the process,
the behavior of the Edit Simulation Window was slightly changed so
that no stands or groups are set selected on start up.  

3. Added support for the FixDG and FixHtG keywords.  Fixed the parmsForm
for several keywords which were writing the date/cycle to column 21.
Added support for a tenth value (average diameter growth) of the first
argument of the SpMcDBH function.  Made 50=oak-hickory the default
forest type for the ModType keyword in the Southeast variant.

4. ForType (forest type) is now parsed as part of the Summary
Statistics report for the variants (Eastern) that report it.

5. Fixed a bug in the Variable Picker for reports and graphs whereby
the program does not display the variable values for the case that is
preselected.  The program would switch from the preselected case to
the first case.

6. Fixed a small error in the help file relating to the the format of
the tree data.

May 26:

7. The program would not change the length of the simulation correctly
when a variant was selected that had a different default cycle
length than the "current" variant.  This problem was evident in the
Southeast were the sn variant and so variant have differnet default
cycle lengths and are used in the same places.

June 9:

8. Fixed the way the AGPLabel is entered into the runs.

June 14: 

RE: fix #7 in this list.  I removed the fix as it created other
problems.  The bug reported in item 7 is still a problem.  This is
only a problem if the variant is changed and the workaround is to
change the simulation time using the time window.

Aug 23:

Installed several updates to the parmeters file...includeing: Removed
CntlZ from wsbwe.kwd, added SVIMAGES keyword for the fire
extension. Added blue spruce, pinyon pine, western juniper, and gambel
oak to the species list for UT, bringing the total to 14 species.
Changed species listed as western white pine in all Central Rockies
variants to southwestern white pine. Added three additional
Uneven-Aged Management Actions.  The original indiv. tree. selection
(ITS) BA uses ThinDBH which ignores SpecPref inclusion.  A new ITS-BA
which uses ThinBBA was developed to enable species discrimation.  Two
new ITS Stand Density Index Management Actions were also developed;
one with ThinDBH; one with ThinBBA.

Aug 27:

Added ktfm to program list, added "draw range pole" option to SVS.  It
will be ready in FVS "soon".

Sept 11:

Modified SVS keyword to draw subplots.  Only works with SVS version
3.32 and above.

Dec 27:

Modified the parameters file, as follows:
1) Extensive changes were made to support what is now called the
   "General" and "Manual" Defoliation Models (a.k.a the Western
   Spruce Budworm Model.
2) Added FuelMove and modifed some other Fuels and Fire Extension 
   keywords.
3) Modified the SiteCode keyword and fixed a problem with SDIMax.
