September 13, 2026 (XE3 build 25558)
Improved
•Improved the calculation of Bhutanese solar calendar holidays, such as the Blessed Rainy Day, by rounding up the calculated date when the fractional solar component is at least 30;60 which matches every official announcement by the Government of Bhutan since 2016 (1-sep-2026).
Fixed
•The azimuth in the planetary data export was south-based rather than the standard north-based azimuth (13-sep-2026).
•Fixed a bug in the macro compiler which would occur when the call to a user defined function.was placed immediately after the equality sign and followed by the addition of another term (7-sep-2026).
•Fixed a boundary-condition bug in the calculation of Bhutanese lunar calendar holidays, such as the Traditional Day of Offerings for the calendar years 2030-2032, when testing possible leap-day or leap-month variants for the first day of the month of Pausa/rgyal (1-sep-2026).
June 30, 2026 (XE3 build 25458)
Improved
•Improved the granularity of message 187080 by checking at run-time if the ratio of the requested baseline shift divided by the font size of the text concerned is outside of the allowed range of -3 to +3.
April 30, 2026 (XE3 build 25408)
Fixed
•Under certain rare circumstances, zap tokens and conditional tokens would not be processed correctly. Namely, when containing conditions with tokens of a different DayValue than that of the zap or conditional token, in backtrack every month templates containing more than one month per page, and referring to DayValues in any month except the first of the page (Finocam, 16-apr-2026).
March 31, 2026 (XE3 build 25359)
Improved
•Added message 188915 to better indicate circumstances under which a minicalendar weekly bands token will be ignored.
Fixed
•Reopening scripts that had not been opened and saved since 2019 could fail if one of the templates used in that script had been deleted from the database of scanned templates (14-mar-2026).
January 31, 2026 (XE3 build 25279)
Fixed
•Fixed some issues with the syntax highlighting and the replace function in the macros editor.
