released 7 July 2006.
Major bug fix
This update fixes an issue with all versions of CIRCLY 5.0 prior to Version 5.0i (7 July 2006).
Referring to the captions on the screen dump below, the combo box (1) that lets you select the Traffic Spectrum does not function as expected. If you click on the combo box and select a different Traffic Spectrum, the Traffic Multipliers (2) that you see on the screen do not change to the values originally entered for the newly selected Traffic Spectrum.
The analysis feature is functioning correctly. If you run an analysis, the Traffic Multipliers that are used will be the ones previously entered for the the newly selected Traffic Spectrum, or whatever values you have just entered.
If you are in doubt about values of the Traffic Multipliers used in a particular analysis, refer to the Job Summary file (accessed via the menu item Analysis/View Job Summary File).
