	RELEASE NOTES - VERSION 5.7.0
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. Revised code reference strings displayed in Excel report when ACI 318-2014 design code is selected
2. Bug fix of anchor tables display on Anchor layout dialog


_______________________________________________________________________________
	RELEASE NOTES - VERSION 5.6.0
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. Revised anchor tension side face blowout strength to consider more critical of the side face blowout strengths in each orthogonal direction
2. Revised display of anchor properties anchor database table name, anchor description on the Anchor Layout dialog
3. Bug fix of selected anchor on Anchor layout dialog in completing calculations when DSAnchor is installed on Windows 10


_______________________________________________________________________________
	RELEASE NOTES - VERSION 5.5.0
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. Added ACI 318 2014 Concrete design code


_________________________________________________________________________________
	VERSION 5.2.0 - RELEASE NOTES - September 2014
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. Reports can now be generated in Metric and SI units
2. Tension cracking modification psi factor is set to the correct value for post-installed anchors
3. A warning message is displayed when the anchor type selected in the anchor database does not match the anchor type selected on the Anchor Layout dialog
4. Anchor database was modified to set the tension cracking modification factor to 1 for undercut anchors
5. Applied shear to group shear concrete breakout capacity ratio is now displayed correctly. The previous versions displayed this ratio incorrectly under certain conditions which also resulted in the incorrect value displayed for interaction ratio.
6. Bug fix related to generating custom report when ACI 2008 and 2011 codes are selected.
7. Formatting changes were made to Excel report

_________________________________________________________________________________
	VERSION 5.0.2 - RELEASE NOTES - June 2013
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. The load combinations containing seismic load cases were not interpreted correctly in determining if it is a seismic load combination and therefore the anchor forces printed did not reflect the correct seismic load component values. This release fixes this problem.

_________________________________________________________________________________
	VERSION 5.0.1 - RELEASE NOTES - May 2013
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. In an Excel report generated in Excel 2010, the shaft design sketch displayed at the end of the report was linked instead of being embedded into the report due to changes made in Excel 2010. This release fixes this issue.


_______________________________________________________________________________
	RELEASE NOTES - VERSION 5.0.0 - December 2012
_________________________________________________________________________________
1. Support of ACI 318 2011 Appendix D

2. Addition and deletion of multiple load cases at a time added

3. Additional and deletion of multiple load combinations at a time added

4. Import of load cases and combinations from Microsoft Excel

5. Changes made to location of default file save folders as well as location of installation files to allow smooth installation and operation of the application on Windows 7

6. Significant changes made to Excel reporting

7. Group tension sideface blowout capacity calculations modified to account for multiple anchor rows

8. Recommendation made when shear pryout strength controls

9. Individual anchor tension forces can be printed for circular anchor pattern

10. Enhancements made to certain dialog boxes to display equal row heights in tables when large number of load combinations are used

11. It is now possible to create anchor data tables using Excel. To use customizable anchor data tables, data from an Excel file can now be brought into the Anchor database.

12. The group side face blowout strength in tension for a circular arrangement of bolts is now calculated correctly. The previous versions calculated a lower group side face blowout strength.
