• Updated the EULA to replace XP Solutions with Innovyze.
• Fixed a bug where data was not always being copied correctly when duplicating a rafts storm in Global data.
• Fixed a bug where duplicating a stage/discharge rating curve would not copy all the data correctly.

• Fixed a bug where trying to stop the XPRafts engine prematurely could crash the software.
• Added a feature to enable/disable all stacked storms in Global Storms window.

• Extended the width of the storm name drop-down in Review Results to handle longer named storms.
• Imported storms from Storm Generator are now ticked on by default.
• Improved the visibility of progress bars in the UI for longer running processes.
• Added a check before replacing all storms when importing from Storm Generator.
• Increased the width of the Number of Intervals column in stacked storms to handle larger values.
• Fixed an issue where an empty internal field was selectable as an XPTABLES variable.
• Increased the width of the Stacked Storms drop-down list to handle longer storm and ensemble names.
• The build number is now visible within the XPRafts UI.
• Added a message to notify the user when unable to find a valid Sentinel lock (either local or network) during program start up.
• Fixed a bug where the Ensemble Statistics Utility would sometimes return the incorrect but similarly named node to the one highlighted.
• The global storm name is now shown in the engine solve dialogue.
• Fixed a bug where the names of selected stacked storms were not being written correctly to the dat file, causing the engine to crash.
