    Enhancements/Additons:

    • Made text and spelling changes in parameter descriptions.
    • Added program parameter PSDATA_File_Flag to ug_initialize_aflr_param.


  • 06/05/14 RELEASE VERSION 4.8.40

    Enhancements/Additons:

    • Added internal capability to turn off output messages sent through ug_message and ug_error_message.
    • Added re-initialization of number of parameters (set to zero).
    • Added parameter to -igen flag in ug_initialize_aflr3_param.


  • 05/19/14 RELEASE VERSION 4.7.34

    Enhancements/Additons:

    • Added new ARG input argument file type (*.arg) to replace the old PARAM input parameter file type (*.par). Old PARAM parameter files can still be input. In all cases an argument file is saved for reruning with the same options if the program runs to successful completion.
    • Added capability for setting vector input parameters of arbitrary length. Due to limitations in program arguments this has minimal impact on command line arguments for the executable. The primary impact is on internal code that might set a vector input parameter.
    • Modified ug_set_params_from_arg_or_file to also set the argument list when reading input parameters from a UG parameter file. Note that this required a change to the API.
    • Modified the external sizing function related parameter default values in ug_initialize_aflr_param.

    Bugs Fixed:

    • Correct a memory leak when adding a double or int vector argument to the argument list.
    • Correct a possible memory leak when an error is found in the input parameters.

    Enhancements/Additons:

    • Added capability to set parameters directly to default, maximum or minimum values by adding the suffix @def, @max, or @min.
