The new release contains a large number of small and not so small bug fixes. It also contains a number of new or improved features. Kudos to everybody working with RED nad putting up with its shortcomings and problems (and reporting them!), and of course to everybody who helped taking care of the issues!
 
Merging
A number of smaller bugs have been fixed, but the pre-merge check is not yet comprehensive, so it is still possible to break the merge. It just got a little harder... :-) The main improvements are the following.

 * Dangling pointers
   Merging has been much improved, both the UI and the underlying operation. The problems you may have experienced resulted from either manually manipulating the set of files in the RED directory, or dangling pointers due to not merging the file containing the target element. A number of problems resulted from this, including "null" enrties in the list of files, and corrupted elements that wouldn't open after the merge.
   
 * 3-Way-Merge
   We are now also supporting a kind of 3-way merge, that is, merge of files without a common predecessor. In order to use this feature, you can drag files in the right column of the merge table to lines where the file in the left column is any file you would like to merg with the dragged one.
   
 * Timestamps
   Save would be triggered even if there were no changes. This made merging more difficult and is now prevented. Updating an element, however, will result in it being auto-saved, even if the edit has been deleted again.
    
Diagrams
 * Cascading delete
   If you select one or more linked elements, the context menu offers now also "cascade delete". As opposed to the previous simple "delete", the linked SpecificationElement and all its presentations in any diagram will also be deleted.
 
 * Cascade Rename
   Similarly, renaming an element is cascaded if the element is linked.
 
 * Element properties dialog
   Visual properties of elements can now be inspected and set (for the time being, this only works for non-sketchy elements).
 
 * Drag-to-create
   Dragging a set of SpecificationElements (of the same, suitable type) from the Element Explorer into a diagram will create linked representations of these elements (used to work just for individual elements).
	
Reporting
 * Completeness
   The report is now fully operational, and includes all types of SpecificationElement. 
   
 * Web-Report/linking
   The report also contains a fully linked lable of contents so you can publish the report online. The down side is, you have to remove it after you import it into MS Word.
   
 * Pictures and Diagrams
   The report now includes all pictures, including diagrams created in RED. Creating the diagrams still requires some user interaction, though, which we couldn'T get rid of in time.
   
 * Empty fields
   the user can chose how to treat empty fields: suppress them, leave them empty, insert "-" or insert "??".
   
CSV-import/export
This is only a limited version of what we wanted to have, but is better than nothing. Also, it is insufficiently test, so use with care.

Use Case POINT estimation
The results of the Use Case Point-based cost estimation are now also displayed in folder view. A manual has been created to support using this feature.

Misc Bugs
 * Drag/Drop in the File explorer now doesn't affect the file structure
 * Deleted associations of UseCases were doubly added on save. We eliminated some of the reasons for this, but maybe not all.
