Known issues with this release will be listed here as feedback is received, as well as improvements and new features as they are completed.

All fixes are cumulative and will be present in each successive build.

• Out of bounds error while reading styles.
  It was possible to setup some complex equations where a style index in use by a non-displayable character was being queried. Since the character was not displayable and used internally within PowerMath, the style is not important for that character.
  Fixed in build 2178
• Integral limits are now using Pi characters instead of the characters that are typed.
  A non-displayable style was incorrectly used following Pi characters causing the rest of the characters to be displayed as Pi characters until another Pi character was encountered.
  Introduced in build 2178, fixed in build 2184
• Performance of dragging handles of text frames containing many PowerMath equations is very poor.
  PowerMath equations were being fully drawn at each point when dragging the frame handle. Since PowerMath equations are complex, the amount of time required to draw the equations exceeded the useable drag time. Equations are no longer drawn during frame handle drags, but are fully drawn at the end when the frame handle is released.
  Fixed in build 2201
• Case fraction index 0 and 1 cause weird behaviors, such as radicals not resizing or characters within a case fraction denominator set as a superior.
  If you find that you are experiencing this issue, you may copy the settings to another case fraction index and utilize the new case fraction or upgrade to this version.
  Fixed in build 2231
• Supersets do not always appear to update within InDesign documents.
  The cache used by PowerMath can become stale under the right conditions. The issue was fixed by checking the timestamp of the superset to see if the superset needs to be reloaded.
  Fixed in build 2239
• Equations created with a PPC processor are not the same as equations created on an Intel processor.
  This issue is limited to equations containing characters that have auto-upsize enabled and contain superiors or inferiors. All equations should be updated via "Update Equations" to correct this issue.
  Fixed in build 2256
• Using OSX 10.6.7, the Pi dialog no longer selects from the list.
  Apple changed one of its internal APIs to no longer assume it has a default size available for storing the selection. This caused many PowerMath dialogs to stop allowing selections from the lists to be made.
  Fixed in build 2266
• Eve3 keys report an upgrade is needed on PPC processors when the key works correctly on Intel processors.
  A byte ordering issue was detected within a new feature of the Eve3 key. PowerMath now reads Eve3 keys correctly on PPC processors.
  Fixed in build 2270
• Attempting to perform an upgrade on the Hardware Key dialog more than once causes PowerMath to exit.
  An internal state was not reset before attempting a second upgrade.
  Fixed in build 2275
• PowerMath refuses to create new equations even when licensed.
  The plug-in was incorrectly reading the state of the license and assumed it was unlicensed.
  Introduced in 2270, fixed in build 2282
• Documents fail to load equations, displaying a box with an X.
  Documents created with newer versions of PowerMath may fail to be read in older versions of PowerMath. PowerMath now adds an error message that this has occurred. PowerMath will always read documents created with older versions.
  Added in build 2283
• Superset displayes correct name, but the settings are missing.
  If an error occurred while reading a superset, the superset name that PowerMath attempted to read was still being displayed leading users to believe the superset had loaded correctly. Now when the superset fails to read, the "Default" superset will be loaded.
  Fixed in build 2292
• Hardware keys are not upgrading proberly.
  Because of a recent change in Apple's API, dongles have intermittently failed to update. The issue was identified and corrected. If you currently are having difficulties upgrading your hardware key, please contact support@phsoftware.com to get an updated PowerKey file.
  Fixed in build 2299
• ASCII import fails on certain computers and crashes InDesign every time.
  An API was returning an invalid value. When using the invalid value, the PowerMath plug-in would crash InDesign.
  Fixed in build 2360
• PowerMath no longer works with InDesign CS5.5
  InDesign/InCopy CS5.5 Plug-in was added to PowerMath. Adobe now prevents CS5 plug-ins from working with CS5.5
  Added in build 2390
• Color names do not hold in equations when the name contains a percent symbol (%)
  The ASCII equation language is vague when introducing percent symbols in the color names. Since this was not part of the language, PowerMath assumed the percent symbol was the marker indicating the end of the color name. The color name now includes percent symbols as part of the color name.
  Fixed in build 2417
• Math level offset changes are not preserved
  PowerMath was incorrectly resetting the math level offset to the default value.
  Fixed in build 2442
• PowerMath sometimes crashes when clicking on the Edit menu (continued)
  Another defect was identified when the pasteboard contained a partial entry with an invalid pasteboard type name. PowerMath will now ignore these invalid pasteboard type names.
  Fixed in build 2449
