BUG FIXES

Fixes as of March 7, 2012

DataFerrett corrected an error in which the user received a listing of datasets that included those that were inaccessible; after fixing a security issue, the user now sees only the available datasets.

Fixes as of January 25, 2012

The "Undo Dropping" option in the "Make a Table" screen has been fixed to allow a user to select more variables.

Previously, when a user selected the "Undo Dropping" option in the "Make a Table" screen, the user was unable to go back and select more variables. After choosing that option, the only variables available for selection were those previously selected in Step 1.

The user is now able to produce an accurate map from data in the "Make a Table" screen.

Previosly, when a user tried to create a map from the "Make a Table" screen, the interval counts and theme calculated by the map had an error when determing where each cell value should be placed. The cell values were incorrectly placed in the first interval if any of them matched a startpoint or an endpoint for any of the ranges within a legend.

The user is now able to merge a dataset with a selected geography variable from ACS PUMS.

Previously, when a user would attempt to merge a dataset with a selected geography, an error message would pop up. After the user clicked "OK," DataFerrett would lock up and not allow the user to continue.
