Fixed and Corrected

•(Unicode) The automated backup which occurs for stand-alone users is now launched only once a day.
•(Unicode) Fixed an error message that would appear when a user created 2 new Scripts Folders in the same session (Brunnen, 14-mar-2012).

February 29, 2012 (build 13317)
New and Improved

•Implemented Holidays Rules based on the Bhutanese , Mongolian and Tibetan calendars.
Fixed and Corrected
•Removed messages available updates to CHM and PDF documentation that are no longer needed.
•(Unicode) The utility program to repair damaged licenses would not function properly for single workstation installations (ie. not connected to a LAN server). (Anupam, 20-feb-2012)
•(WAN Unicode) The current Script is now forced to be saved on the remote server before the Technical Support function is called.
•Fixed a bug in the conversion of tokens in Yearly Templates whereby the conversion of tokens would always be based on the date of the Monday before January 1st, even if the grid had been scanned as beginning on January 1st. (Lett's, 10-feb-2012)
•Fixed a random bug whereby QuarkXPress would not fully respect the z-order of objects on layers (and the z-order of layers amongst themselves) in particular if some layers were placed below the default layer. (Lecas, 9-feb-2012).
January 31, 2012 (build 13271)
New and Improved
•Added more detailed messages when an error occurs during QuarkXPress processing.
•The standard QuarkXPress page number codes are now maintained in the output file for both Templates and Plain Quark files.
•Improved the amount of information available in the List of Diary Generation Messages after QuarkXPress processing has been aborted.
•Added a macro function to easily determine the beginning and ending dates of a multi-day token such as for holidays duration tokens.
Fixed and Corrected
•Fixed a bug which would occur when trying to group delete a group of objects whose X-position or Y-position is negative (Brunnen, 20-jan-2012).
•Fixed a bug which would sporadically cause QuarkXPress not to copy over anchored textboxes that were placed on the non-default layer (Brunnen, 17-jan-2012).
•Fixed a glitch that would make Q++ assume that the Highlight Token Errors Generation Option was always on. In addition, if the definition of Yellow in your QuarkXPress preferences was non-default, then you would get an additional message that the requested color could not be found and that Magenta was thus being used (Lett's, 13-jan-2012).
•The message that "GenTokens Options use colors not found in template" would sometimes occur spuriously, particularly when the Special Cases of a GenTokens were not using Formatting (Lecas, 11-jan-2012).
•(ANSI) The message that QuarkXPress facing pages layouts were limited to a width of 24 inches per pages was sometimes being generated spuriously (Geigers, 6-jan-2012).
