February 29, 2012 (build 13273)
New and Improved
•Implemented Holidays Rules based on the Bhutanese and Tibetan calendars.
Fixed and Corrected
•Nothing yet.
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).
December 31, 2011 (build 13231)
New and Improved
•The What's New ? topic of the Q++ Windows Help now opens automatically after an update.
•It is now possible to select PDF (Adobe Acrobat) files as images to be used in holidays, slogans and macros.
•You can now add a duration suffix to Holidays Response Tokens.
•Added a warning if some of the colors used in GenTokens Options are no longer defined in the current template.
•Added Layer Moving Tokens which can be used to move an object (or group of objects) to another layer.
Fixed and Corrected
•Removed some spurious occurrences of a warning about QuarkXPress having crashed, when in fact QuarkXPress processing had aborted cleanly (ie. no copy of QuarkXPress was left in memory).
•Added code in the QuarkXPress processing to avoid some issues related to replacing text with nought.
•The Search tab of the Q++ Windows Help was not working.
•(Unicode) Fixed problem with the importation of graphics files in slogans and macros, if the graphics filename contained any diacritics (accented) characters (Lecas/Hamelin, 6-dec-2011)
•(Unicode) Fixed a bug in the Unicode Server installer whereby selecting a Unicode Re-installation would not restore the previous database (Burde, 4-dec-2011)
•The text display of Begin and End Rules for monthly and yearly DiaryGridlines was missing a space between the month and year offset parenthesis.
•(Unicode) A saved macro could sometimes disappear from the list of available macros in the Macros Options dialog (Time/System, 1-dec-2011).
November 30, 2011 (build 13187)
New and Improved
•Added a token to display German tax days (Zinstage).
•(Unicode) All QuarkXPress files (GridTemplates and QxdPages) are now tracked based on their UTC internal timestamp, meaning that users in different timezones (or before and after a summertime change) will not need to re-scan or re-inspect a QuarkXPress document last modified by a user at another site.
•When you add Insert Scriptlines to another Insert Scriptline, the new Insert is now inserted after any content of the selected Insert line (previously the new Insert line would be inserted immediately after the currently selected insert line thus potentially coming in between the selected insert line and its contents lines).
•Properly implemented the Force QuarkXPress Shutdown function.
•(Unicode) In the Scripts Explorer, when in recursive mode, you can now click to Select Containing Folder.
•Added tokens to display the Moon Zodiac symbol and name on everyday or on the first and last day of a cycle.

Fixed and Corrected
•(Unicode) Fixed a spurious key violation error that would sometimes occur when saving a macro under another name (Lecas, 23-nov-2011).
•(Unicode) The selected set in the Saints Manager is now redrawn with its selection and focus rectangle of the correct size (Lecas, 22-nov-2011).
•Fixed a message that would refer to a random numbered Template ID after using the Clear Template Link function (Lecas, 22-nov-2011).
•Fixed the links to automatically download the latest Q++ Windows Help and Q++ PDF Manual. These links were no longer correct since last month, when the Q++ Studio documentation was split into 2 separate versions (ANSI and Unicode).
•Fixed a minor UI bug that temporarily display the wrong icon in the Holidays Manager list of Holidays Sets, after a folder of Holidays Sets was renamed (Brunnen, 17-nov-2011).
•Fixed a bug that would cause the wrong number of grids to be inserted, when inserting monthly grids containing more than one month or yearly grids containing more than one year (Brunnen, 16-nov-2011).
•(Unicode) Improved the detection of the need for holidays to be re-generated, even when multiple users are located in different timezones (Lett's, 9-nov-2011).
•(Unicode) Fixed a minor UI bug that would not properly redraw the currently selected Scripts Folder in the Copy ScriptLine dialog.
•Fixed a bug that would stop scanning or diary generation if the Xtensions Disabled folder of QuarkXPress was empty (Lett's, 8-nov-2011).
•Fixed a bug in formatted text replacement under QuarkXPress 7 (Lett's, 2-nov-2011).
•(Unicode) Fixed a bug whereby newly created Holidays Sets would not have the font Arial Unicode MS specified as its default Display Font.
•(Unicode) Fixed a bug when renaming scripts in the Scripts Explorer (Almanakkforlaget, 2-nov-2011).

New and Improved
•Added a holidays recurrence rule option that allows for conflict checking against any holiday in another specified holidays set.
•Added the option of using a specific maximum size for the nightly automated backup files that are sent by FTP for some clients whose internet connection does not support larger FTP uploads (the default is 50 MB).
•(Unicode) Re-designed the user interface of the Scripts Explorer using an advanced data grid.
•(Unicode) Re-designed the user interface of the Saras Sets Manager using an advanced data grid.
•(Unicode) Re-designed the user interface of the Templates Explorer using an advanced data grid so that it is now possible to filter and group entries in the Templates table (as well as sort, which was possible before).
Fixed and Corrected
•Fixed a bug in the calculation of recurring public holidays that are based on the Hindu lunar calendar in the extremely rare cases when the option "Use Adhika Month if it exists" is used.
•(Unicode) Fixed a bug in the use of SARAs in multi-section diaries (Burde, 18-oct-2011).

•(Unicode) Fixed a bug whereby holidays abbreviation tokens would not be recognized on some PCs using the Baltic and East European codepages (Buroodisain, 17-oct-2011).
