********************************************************************* Comprehensive list of improvements and modifications to the Large Ruminant Nutrition System (LRNS) model ********************************************************************* 1.2.11 (2026-06-13) ------------------- (1) Fixed regional settings (locale) for mixes. (2) Improved compatibility with UTF-8 for temperature units. 1.2.10 (2026-06-07) ------------------- (1) Improved the regional settings (locale) handling. (2) Added Options/Regional Settings to assist with changing locale. (3) Simplified the NumericTextBox.ocx code. (4) Files now save a sample number (NumSample) in the #ExtraInfo# section, so the actual decimal and thousand separators are stored even when only the separators were changed under the same regional setting. (5) On load, separators are read from the sample number first, then the saved regional setting, then detected from the numbers in the file, then the system setting. (6) Files with no #ExtraInfo# section now have their decimal separator detected from the file contents. (7) Show Locale now displays the saved number sample and reports the live system separators, including manual overrides. 1.2.9 (2026-05-23) ------------------ (1) Added a locale warning for older simulation files, giving users the option to continue with current regional settings, set the locale first, or load the default simulation. 1.2.8 (2026-05-19) ------------------ (1) Added a menu option to tag simulation files with language and locale info for sharing files across regions with different decimal separators 1.2.7 (2026-05-18) ------------------ (1) Fixed overflow error caused by many simulations (2) Added drag-and-drop to open simulation files on the workspace and tree (3) the update check now shows the list of changes and asks for confirmation before updating 1.2.6 (2025-11-25) ------------------ (1) Fixed opening large simulation files (2) Revised disclaimers (3) Revised Splash Screen information (4) Added bypass registration (5) Improved the comma and point as decimal separator (6) Updated installer 1.2.5 (2023-09-12) ------------------ (1) Included the ability to bypass registration 1.2.4 (2023-07-03) ------------------ (1) Compatibility fix 1.2.3 (2023-07-01) ------------------ (1) Included disclaimer and trademark at Splash and About (2) Added "Exit" button (3) Clean up unused DLL and OCX 1.2.2 (2022-02-16) ------------------ (1) Fixed version comparison 1.2.1 (2020-11-16) ------------------ (1) Fixed reporting of mineral requirement for maintenance (Ca and P) (2) Fixed calculation of P requirement for lactation for dairy cows (3) Improved compatibility of different regional settings (True and False) 1.1.0 (2019-08-01) ------------------ (1) Improved compatibility with HTTPS protocol (using Chilkat ActiveX) (2) Proper un-registration of transferred licenses 1.0.33 (2015-1-07) ------------------ (1) Fixed ActiveX compatibility 1.0.32 (2015-03-29) ------------------- (1) Changed website address 1.0.31 (2014-07-08) ------------------- (1) Added the ability to process batch files (*.bncps). An example ("Batch1.bncps") is provided in the TAMU\LRNS Files\Simulation folder 1.0.30 (2013-11-06) ------------------- (1) Fixed double accounting of ionophore in the calculation of NEm with solution level 1 (2) Reports show NEm without and with ionophore, if ionophore is used 1.0.29 (2013-10-23) ------------------- (1) Fixed mineral supplied calculation for beef and dairy cattle. Dairy uses bioavailability and beef uses dietary concentrations 1.0.28 (2013-05-04) ------------------- (1) Fixed compatibility issues 1.0.27 (2013-05-03) ------------------- (1) Fixed problem with Days to Change BCS with noninteger BCS values (2) Added an option to adjust NEm for BCS for lactating and dry cows 1.0.26 (2013-04-27) ------------------- (1) Fixed the path length problem (2) Ct and Lf compatibility with virtual Windows in MAC 1.0.25 (2013-04-04) ------------------- (1) Fixed dry matter intake of beef dry cows 1.0.24 (2012-12-19) ------------------- (1) Fixed ME for mammogenesis (2) Fixed units for physical activity (Mcal/d) 1.0.22 (2012-10-13) ------------------- (1) Changed ME for lactation: Old: MELact = MilkYield * (((AG.MilkFat * 0.0962) + 0.3512) New: MELact = MilkYield * (((AG.MilkFat * 0.0929) + (AG.MilkProtein * 0.0547 / 0.93) + (0.0395 * 4.85)) / 0.644) 1.0.18 (2011-10-04) ------------------- (1) Added Detmann et al. (2008; Anim. Feed Sci. Technol. 143:127) calculation of TDN for level 1 1.0.16 (2010-10-09) ------------------- (1) Fixed units for "Excess MP Nitrogen"
