There’s a new release of HIMIPref\u2122 available for download at usual place<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you choose to install this upgrade, please, PLEASE remember to back-up your user data<\/a> prior to re-installation!
\nThis release continues the recent tradition<\/a> of being more for my convenience than for users’! Several changes have been made to the Administrative Users’ Computation of Indices, but very little has changed for Institutional users.<\/p>\n

There is no absolute necessity for Institutional users to install the new version – any old version that worked yesterday will continue to work today. There is the consideration that, in the unlikely event that (i) You find a bug, and (ii) the effect of this bug is different in the two versions, it will be much easier track down the error if we’re all singing from the same hymnbook.<\/p>\n

I found two more minor bugs (features!) when testing the system:<\/p>\n
