EZ5x007948 High EASY5 MGP Win32 Fixed link problem with C component and no declared outputs
EZ5x007953 High EASY5 GUI Sun For Solaris, no longer allow user-defined value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to dominate -- it will be secondary value used.
EZ5x007954 High EASY5 GUI Win32 Force setting of __COMPAT_LAYER environment variable to ensure Korn Shell works correctly.
EZ5x007955 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed crash/performance issues when using Model Explorer with large tables, arrays, or vectors, and improved selection method in Model Explorer for vectors/arrays
EZ5x007960 High EASY5 GUI All Increased maximum dimensions from 999 to 9999, and accompanying changes
EZ5x007961 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed crash when selecting OK button in CDT more than once in succession (now prevent doing that, and add additional user feedback during lengthy updates of the model database)

EZ5x007973 High EASY5 GUI Sun Fixed problem with printing Info Pages (which were using an unreadably small font size) on Sun/Solaris

EZ5x007989 High EASY5 GUI All Added improved checking for duplicate names of same type referenced in a Temp Settings editor
EZ5x007991 High EASY5 GUI All Added auto-grouping "by component" in Model Explorer when "picking" from the model schematic
EZ5x007993 High EASY5 GUI All Added confirmation dialog when deleting a specific temp settings dialog using the Temp Settings editor.
EZ5x007994 High EASY5 GUI All Added logic to prevent accidentally deleting the current model (rare occurance:  only if local folder contains like-named white-spaced directories with same "starting" name as current model)
EZ5x007995 High EASY5 AP All Fixed handling of array/vector names (without dimension specified) for inputs, outputs (linear model, etc.)
EZ5x007997 High EASY5 AP All Corrected handling of subscripts for program names like DEPEN, INDEP1, INDEP2, etc.
EZ5x008002 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed handling for queueing a runtime license feature.
EZ5x008004 High IS Lib, GUI All Added ability to restore IS widget placement for multiple monitors (via new EZ5_NO_ISL_PROTECTION environment variable)
EZ5x008005 High EASY5 AP All Added more explicit license termination from model executable to improve reliability of license features getting checked back in after a run.
EZ5x008006 High EASY5 Plotter All Fixed plotter seg-fault occuring if status line message is too large
EZ5x008009 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed use of environment variable EZ5_FORCE_TYPING
EZ5x008010 High EASY5 GUI Win32 Added support/checking for Intel Visual Fortran 9.1 compiler (and MS Visual Studio 2005)
EZ5x008011 High EASY5 GUI All Added progress messages on status line and in splash screen for startup license checkout (and moved checkout of initial licenses to allow a GUI to display faster/earlier)
EZ5x008017 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed use of hourglass icon during copy/paste operations.
EZ5x008018 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed use of hourglass icon after clipboard operations
EZ5x008019 High EASY5 GUI, EASY5 Plotter All Fixed look and feel of icons, especially when they are deactivated 
EZ5x008023 High EASY5 GUI All Added ability to use "dimension parameters" in an Active String
EZ5x008028 High Win32 Install Win32 Improved logic for determining when the EASY5 environment needs to be (re)initialized:  if either EZ5_FORT_COMP or oPATH have not been set == MSC.EASY5 has not been initialized yet.
EZ5x008037 High EASY5 Plotter All Plotter was not offering appropriate X-variable defaults when a user selected a Y-variable from a different plot file, while setting up a plot layout file -- this caused confusion.
EZ5x008041 High GP Lib All gp/RA component was not working as advertised -- input FLG could only be modified at the start (now it can be modified during the simulation also).
EZ5x008047 High IS Lib, GUI All Strange messages appear in APL file and background shell about 'Qlayout "unnamed" added to control "control", which already has a layout' -- corrected
EZ5x008051 High EASY5 AP Win32 Adjusted logic for application of "ftol2" patch to only be done if the user sets environment variable EZ5_USE_FTOL2_PATCH.  Note:  for most combinations of compilers and runtime DLL msvcrt.dll, this is no longer a problem -- which used to generate an unsatisfied external reference to symbol "ftol2".  If this problem occurs, set this environment variable to apply this patch library.
EZ5x008052 High EASY5 AP All Fixed infinite loop that occurs if analysis command specifies invalid integration mode (w/ fatal error message, umpteen times)
EZ5x008057 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed problems with the cursor (always a "UserCode" cursor) and resulting icon (which may use one from a different component) when adding Extension components to the schematic (the latter only occuring when there are multiple components in a group).
EZ5x008058 High EASY5 GUI All Fixed problem with truncating Extension code (if Extension has code lines > 72 characters, and model file is pre-v8)
EZ5x008059 High EASY5 GUI Win32 Fixed problem affecting main window that shows up if the main window is maximized.  Upon startup the next time, the window is no longer visible unless you select "Maximize" option.
EZ5x008060 High EASY5 GUI Win32 Activate export menu for Matlab Interface with GNU compiler.
EZ5x007735 Medium EASY5 MGP All If a SAMPLE PERIOD OF statement is used in a C-component, a semi-colon (";") was misinterpreted by the code generator, as well as use of a pointer ("*").  This has been fixed.
EZ5x007864 Medium EASY5 GUI All Fixed display and error checking of text note values with invalid subscripts
EZ5x007897 Medium EASY5 GUI All Fixed GUI crash when selecting OK out of Model Properties without any title specified.
EZ5x007922 Medium MAT All Added missing convenience functions for MAT:  what, who, whos
EZ5x007923 Medium Win32 Install Win32 Prevent offering installation of GNU/GCC compiler in Maintenance mode
EZ5x007940 Medium GP Lib All Fixed bad logic at runtime with gp/XL component when M=1
EZ5x007970 Medium EASY5 GUI All Added ability to see "Library Tag" in Model Explorer (as we used to in the v2004 Model Explorer)
EZ5x008003 Medium IS Lib, GUI All Fixed keyboard entry for is/SL component.
EZ5x008053 Medium EASY5 Utility All Ensured that plot file converters don't pass along numbers with 3-digit exponents (these are too large for most applications, and will be clamped similar to how the Plotter handles this).
EZ5x008054 Medium EASY5 GUI All Improved logic for default placement of connection dialog
EZ5x007999 Low Documentation All Fixed info page for component gp/SW.
