NEW AND ENHANCED FEATURES

	OPTIMIZATION (enhanced)

		06PRD00001548: Optimizations in progress can be saved, restored, reviewed and resumed later with Optimization State Files

		06PRD00002316:	Multi-row select can be used to define contiguous blocks of variables, objectives and constraints

	POLARIZATION (enhanced)

		06PRD00001826: Major advances on the ASAP Polarization Raytracing Roadmap, including
				- Partially polarized light can be traced using Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices.
				- Visualization of degree of polarization with the Poincaré Sphere tool.
				- Liquid crystals can be more easily modeled using the new Liquid Crystal Cell.
				- Modeling of uniaxial media is improved with the new Generalized Uniaxial Model (GUM).

	CONFORMAL RADIOMETRY (new)

		06PRD00001238: Analyze distributions of light on system objects and use "transparent detectors" as non-invasive probes. 

	DIGITIZER (new)

		06PRD00001498: Digitize plots of data for use in ASAP or elsewhere.

	REMOTE (enhanced)

		06PRD00001949: BRO now offers licensing for running ASAP Remote on dozens of computers simultaneously.
		06PRD00002278: ASAP now generates a logfile with time-stamped status changes of ASAP Remote sessions.


ISSUES RESOLVED

	OPTIMIZATION

		06PRD00002124: Default filename for Saving the system under evaluation is incorrect.

		06PRD00002125: Second and subsequent saves of the system under evaluation corrupt the INR.

		06PRD00002127: Constraints headers do not update when constraints are redefined.

		06PRD00002191: Selecting variables and objectives by highlighting can fail.

		06PRD00002311: Formatting of reports omits some data.

		06PRD00002312: Column headings are omitted from printed reports.

		06PRD00002315: Selecting the trial for saving as the system under evaluation is confusing.

	POLARIZATION

		06PRD00002201: Reflective RPM devices lose reflected component with 'wrong side' warnings.

		06PRD00002232: Backward raytracing for RRM and RPM suffer an error in coordinate system transformations

		06PRD00002248: RRM uses only the first refractive index of a multi-wavelength CRYSTAL definition.

		06PRD00002276: Points exactly at the max/min limits of flux are not shown on The Poincaré sphere.

		06PRD00002442: Polarization devices do not transform with the objects to which they are attached.

		06PRD00002450: Light reflected from an RPM has extra (erroneous) polarization components.

	OTHER

		06PRD00002255: CVF IMPORT LUMERICAL does not release file after importing.

	USAGE NOTES

		06PRD00002294: The new product bundling for ASAP 2009 is reflected in the splash screens and Kernel banner.

		06PRD00001968: The DIFFRACT option of the VANES command is officially obsolete.

		06PRD00002144: The FCN modifier for of the SURFACE command is officially obsolete.
