News and announcements
1.4.0 Cleaner interface for viewing, saving, and exporting output.

Cleaner interface for viewing, saving, and exporting output.
Data export to spreadsheet plug-in now automatically exports as csv as well as xls.
Data importing copes with spaces at the end of dates - trailing spaces are removed and the value is treated properly as a date.
1.3.5 Simpler data access, Slovenian support, bug fixes
Written for SOFA Statistics by Grant Paton-Simpson on 2013-10-14
Simplified access to data for most users. SOFA now only displays a list of data tables (instead of showing both a list of databases and tables) unless there are multiple databases to choose from. For most users, the only database will be the default database SOFA uses to store imported or hand-entered data.
Slovenian support added (thanks to Nino Rode :-)).
1.3.4 More complex charts and chart series possible; MS SQL Server and Access fixes and improvements.
Written for SOFA Statistics by Grant Paton-Simpson on 2013-07-22
Can make more complex charts and larger series of charts. It is now possible to override the conservative limits on charts e.g. the maximum number of series or charts or clusters. A warning is shown that you may not necessarily produce a viable chart or set of charts. But often it will work so now you get to try and see.
Importing now copes with excessively long fieldnames by shortening them automatically (without risking duplicates).
MS SQL Server views can now be analysed, not just tables.
1.3.3 95% Confidence Intervals for ANOVA and t-tests; more sorting options for charts; misc other improvements.
Written for SOFA Statistics by Grant Paton-Simpson on 2013-04-06
95% confidence intervals now added to ANOVA and t-tests. Also right justified numbers in associated output.
Can now sort by category labels in clustered bar charts, line charts, area charts and box plots. Area charts can also be sorted ascending or descending by count/mean/sum.
The series and category are now displayed in tooltips e.g. Italy, 20-29 for clustered bar charts, multi-series line charts, and box plots. This is especially helpful when there are lots of categories and/or series.
Improved statistics output footnotes.
Borders on bar-type charts are now optional. This can be useful when bars are very short.
Chi square clustered bar charts can cope with higher default limits for number of values.
Importing field names with more than 90 characters prohibited at the point of import rather than causing problems later.
The group by max number of values is now controlled by a single my_globals setting (making it easier to override).
The default settings for some remaining max values have been increased.
1.3.2 Can backup SOFA data, reports, and variable and project details, via extension plug-in.
