Fix: Error during scrolling in the Minutes

An error occurred when scrolling in the Minutes tab, if the user deleted the very last branch in WBS previously.

Change: The functionality of the Copy_WBS_Column_Values verb (macros and events)

Previously, the Copy_WBS_Column_Values verb and the corresponding IWbs.CopyWholeColumnValues method did not copy the value in the root task. Now, also the root node value is copied. If the WBS_Quantity field is involved, whether as the source or as the target field, the root value may be adjusted to satisfy various constraints. For example, the "Force quantities to 1 for branches of the WBS (Chapters)" editing option is respected.

Fix: ToolsForExcel Distribution – Errors when working with merged cells

An error occurred when working with merged cells in the pane, more precisely when using merged cells as references for WBS data. The index of sheet was also impossible to build in this case. This has been fixed.

Improvement: Creating a file for parent estimate in non-transparency mode

Improved creating a file for parent estimate in non-transparency mode. If detailed info is required, which includes the FORMULA_FOR_QUANTITY and related data, only those global variables that start with a dot and only those WBS variables are preserved, which are really used in any FORMULA_FOR_QUANTITY. This is to avoid bloating the parent with unnecessary child variables.

Fix: Corrupted overhead after an estimate migration from QDV versions older than 7.24

It only happened, if the old estimate file had the "Enable large time-frame fields and cash-flow sheets (up to 20 years split in months, 240 periods)" option enabled at some time, but then it was disabled. And it was still disabled during the migration. This might result in completely broken overhead and errors in the upgraded estimate.

Fix: Wrong summary data for some WBS branches

When the selected branch in WBS or any of its parent branches had their quantity set to zero, then the summary data (F12) was zero as well. It should be a per unit value.

Fix: Error during navigating in Minutes when the bottom panel was open

A rare error could occur, if there was the bottom panel displayed in the Minutes, and there was a numeric column (such as SetDepth) placed right after some "List (name only)" column in Minutes.

Fix: Issue when searching articles/sets in SQL Server database

The user could encounter loss of connection or very slow response when searching for articles or sets by their reference or description into favorite SQL Server database. This has been fixed. The diacritics management has also been improved at the same time. Search criterion in Reference field is of type ‘starts with’ and in Description field the criterion is of type ‘contains’.
