All complex programs have bugs of some sort, somewhere. Sometimes the only one who knows is the developer, because the bug is not really "incorrect", but rather it's something that doesn't quite work as well as it might. Sometimes they are obvious to the user, sometimes subtle.

I want you to be informed about bugs, so that you can avoid making mistakes. This thread will be updated any time a bug is identified, and also when it is fixed. Bugs might be as simple as typos in Help or a Popup (a "gnat"), or more unpleasant ones that affect the validity of some output value (a "cockroach").

When a bug is fixed, I'll edit the post (in blue) where it was described to reflect the fix and the version/build in which it was applied. The announcement for the new version will link to the post that describes the problems and fixes.

I will accumulate all current issues in a single post ... once a new build is provided that fixes them, then anything that appears subsequently will be in a new post. So, one post per released build.

In order to avoid peppering users with "nuisance" updates, I will usually wait until either a cockroach is found that cannot easily be worked around, &/or until a "cloud of gnats" have accumulated.

This thread is "frozen" ... so if you think you've found a problem, report it in the Questions or Discussion or Suggestions threads, and I'll check it out and add it to the list here.

I hope y'all appreciate the transparency.

Category: Gnats (tiny and not harmful)

*** Help file (somewhere) says to restore the second-to-last input to nonzero value to prevent a popup from reappearing ... this was pre-B1 and needs to be changed to refer to the final input instead.

*** Popup in some place(s) ... probably just in Edge ... say to restore the input to zero to prevent repetitive Popup appearance but it should say nonzero ... check all such messages.

Category: FruitFlies (obvious but easy to avoid)

*** Return value = -1 does not incorporate Momentum-Extension modes ... the 1-9 scales for T&V skip from 3 to 5 to 7, reporting 4 & 6 as 5, thus not identifying Extended Zones. Workaround - use Return = -2 for Trend and Return = -3 for Volat (which are usually preferred for function-calls anyway).

Category: Spiders (potential problem but avoidable)

*** Short cyan-to-blue histo's that report Profit Bins in Plot=4&5 and the integer portion of Return= -4&-5 appear at inappropriate times (but also at useful times) ... also colors need to be reversed since PBin=4 is not really a good "potential entry" ... this will be reworked to eliminate excess repetitive cases. Also, the rules for PBin=1 require LegPrf >=10% rather than intended 1%. Workaround: treat PBin values of 1-2 as decent early-entries, or maybe 3 as an entry after a pullback, but think of 4 as being pretty late in the game for an entry; also, ignore repeats of the same color/height - just pay attention to the places where the PBin height/value is greater than the bar before it. Note: this won't help much with Focus-List cases ... Return values can be used if you're processing them in an OLang routine so as to apply that workaround logic. Summary: probably best to ignore these outputs until a fix is applied that implements the workaround.
Side-note ... even further-enhanced versions of these will appear as entry flags for outputs= 6&7 and -6&-7 since Growth & Efficiency will be used to "filter" them ... as well as companion exit flags ... those outputs are available if MTVscan/syst/stop addon is purchased (avail fairly soon)

Category: Cockroaches (nasty, needing quick eradication)

*** None at this time
