New in Demetra for windows 2.1.0:

IMPROVEMENTS:

Upgrade of TRAMO and SEATS engines to the April 2005 version
-------------------------------
Upgrade of X12-ARIMA engine to the 0.3 version
-------------------------------
Inclusion of the calendar effects for X12-ARIMA, as they were already done for TRAMO/SEATS
-------------------------------
When fixing model in TRAMO/SEATS, INIC is now fixed to 0 instead of 1. To emphasise this modification, the value of INIC is now always saved in SAIP parameters.
-------------------------------
To be in line with the new TRAMO and SEATS engines, the default value of LAM parameter has changed from 0 to 1. To emphasise this modification, the value of LAM is now always saved in SAIP parameters (independantly of the default value). Warning: Be aware of this change of default value if you are using both Demetra and the native TRAMO/SEATS engines.
-------------------------------
To be in line with the new TRAMO and SEATS engines, the default value of PC parameter has changed from 0.14286 to 0.12. To emphasise this modification, the value of PC is now always saved in SAIP parameters (independantly of the default value). Warning: Be aware of this change of default value if you are using both Demetra and the native TRAMO/SEATS engines.
-------------------------------
To be in line with the new TRAMO and SEATS engines, the default value of XL parameter has changed from 0.98 to 0.99. To emphasise this modification, the value of XL is now always saved in SAIP parameters (independantly of the default value) when it is relevant. Warning: Be aware of this change of default value if you are using both Demetra and the native TRAMO/SEATS engines.
-------------------------------
New feature of TRAMO/SEATS: Automatic rescaling of the datas when condidered too high or too low. Consequence in Demetra, Demetra displays a warning when this new feature is applied and also rescales the input timeseries, to avoid inconsistences in graphics. Yet in the database, the original series is not rescaled.

FIXED BUGS:

Error:"MODEL DEGENERATE - DET < 0". The problem has been fixed in TRAMO/SEATS
-------------------------------
To avoid a crash when trying to add an outlier (due to conflicts of versions of Microsoft Calendar object) on some systems, Demetra now installs mscal.ocx in Demetra directory.
-------------------------------
When using for output another Excel workbook but with the same name, Demetra displayed an error message and did not save the output series.
-------------------------------
Some errors caused a crash of Demetra. Now an error message is written in the log and Demetra continues its job.
-------------------------------
Fix Length of Period option in X12
-------------------------------
Fixed problem in Options -> Parameters to save: the 2nd and 3rd options were wrongly saved.
-------------------------------
Fixed the implementation of the user-defined regressors for X-12 Arima method.

-------------------------------
