                             Version 3.52

                            RELEASE  NOTES

                           November 1, 1999 

These release notes describe the changes from PROCISION(tm) v3.51 to v3.52.


Convergence history availability
--------------------------------

The availability of the results on solver's passes other then the last one is
configurable now. The name of the option in the 'config.szf' file 
is SAVE_CONVERGENCE_HISTORY.

If SAVE_CONVERGENCE_HISTORY is OFF (default value), then the history of the
results along the convergence process is not accumulated, neither it is stored
in the result database.

This results in far lesser memory (both RAM and swap) consumption by the
Procision(tm) solver, as well as in significanly smaller result files.


Entering the post-processing menu
---------------------------------

Result 'Current' is now automatically activated upon solution completion
or result retrieval.


Bugs Fixed
----------

Most of the known bugs have been fixed. The most significant were:
     - 'color ramp' functionality in post-processor (NT platform only);
     - error in the algorithm for finding the 'composite' entities;
     - possible core dump during Dynamics movie processing.
