Known issues and improvements since release v1884
- Overprinting of Black causes non-black strikethroughs to be overwritten
PowerMath now correctly displays the non-black strikethrougs on top of the characters.
Fixed in build 1888
- Importing a story does not include ASCII equations contained within tables
Tables were accidentally excluded from ASCII Import if a non-table portion of the story
successfully imported an ASCII equation.
Fixed in build 1920
- Buildups or integrals with brackets size the bracket incorrectly.
If a superior or inferior contained brackets and auto-upsize is enabled, the close bracket was
skipped and auto-upsize was applied to the next character outside of the superior or inferior.
Fixed in build 1926
- PowerMath crashes when reading older preferences files.
An upgrade to an infrastucture component resulted in an error condition that
was unexpected and not handled properly. The error condition is now handled.
Introduced in 1920, fixed in build 1936
- A PowerMath CS5 plug-in is now included in the Intel download.
The PowerMath CS5 plug-in is currently in development and is NOT feature complete.
The plug-in was provided for users who wish to test the functionality that is
available, but the CS5 plug-in is not currently supported. InDesign/InCopy CS5
does not support the PowerPC processor architecture, so the plug-in is not included
in the PowerPC download.
PowerMath CS5 is expected to be released in Q4 of 2010
- Some PowerMath equations created in v1884 can't be read in newer pre-release versions.
An upgrade to an infrastucture component resulted in a change in the way equations and
supersets are stored. These changes have been backed out/reverted. It is advisable that
all users who have upgraded to versions v1920 through v1936 immediately upgrade to v1942.
Fixes for Overprinting of black, importing equations from tables, buildups with auto-upsize
are contained in v1942.
Introduced in 1920, fixed in build 1942
- Brackets contained within superiors/inferiors may change surrounding characters with
auto-upsize enabled.
Auto-upsize was incorrectly applied to the character following the bracket.
Fixed in build 1947
- New infrastucture component issues identified.
The new infrastruture components were reporting errors on warning conditions. These warning
conditions are insignificant and can be safely ignored. Equations created with interim pre-release
versions were created correctly, so there is no need to upgrade from v1920 through v1936 to v1942
unless you encounter equations drawn as gray boxes in InDesign.
Fixed in build 1952
- InCopy displays gray boxes instead of equations.
Once documents are saved and re-opened, it is possible to encounter an issue where the equations
are drawn as gray boxes. A defect was introduced when updating PowerMath to work with
InDesign/InCopy CS4.
Fixed in build 1958
- InCopy documents allow editing when the story is not checked-out.
One of the lock states was checked incorrectly to see if the story could be edited. This
resulted in some nonsensical error messages.
Fixed in build 1961
- InDesign/InCopy CS5 plug-ins reached the BETA milestone.
InDesign/InCopy CS5 plug-ins are development complete and have begun the BETA testing phase. These plug-ins
are now available in the latest pre-release download.
Added in build 1965
- Import/Export/Update equations sometimes reports that not equations were found.
The message was incorrectly displayed after equations were imported/exported/updated.
Fixed in build 1982
- Place Superior/Inferior settings are not applied after a modification is made and
equations are updated.
The superior/inferior files were not being cached properly and resulted in new values
being discarded until InDesign/InCopy was restarted.
Fixed in build 1989
- Spot colors are not printing as spot colors, they are being converted to CMYK
The way colors were handled was changed to accomodate overprinting of black. Unfortunately, this change
caused spot colors to be converted to CMYK. Changes were reverted and the overprinting of black handled
in a different way.
Introduced in 1888, fixed in build 2029
- ASCII Import fails on a specific tag
If Pi character tag names contain spaces, the tag name may not be found while performing ASCII Import.
A change was made to remove spaces before matching the tag name.
Fixed in build 2048
- ASCII Export includes an extra closing curly brace
When a case fraction contined a radical, there was a chance that an extra closing curly brace was added.
The extra curly brace is no longer emitted in the export operation. Extra curly braces that were included
in past ASCII exports will need to be manually removed.
Fixed in build 2048
- ASCII Import locks up when importing an equation containing \$
This condition has been fixed and no longer locks up the computer.
Fixed in build 2051
- PowerMath menubar is missing Intgral, Radical and Summation
These menubar items were accidentally removed and have been restored.
Fixed in build 2056
- The Update equations should have a feature to change the superset.
A new feature was added to allow the superset to be changed from the Update
Equations dialog within InDesign/InCopy.
Added in build 2060
- Supersets are not always stored with the InDesign document.
On some rare occasions, supersets were not being stored properly. The issues
were addressed and supersets get stored with the documents again.
Introduced in build 2058, fixed in build 2064
- An error message is sometimes displayed when editing an equation.
The error message was due to a temporary variable requiring access to the superset
in the document, when the superset was not required.
Introduced in build 2064, fixed in build 2071
- PowerMath constantly crashes when attempting to import a simple equation from InDesign.
When there is a mismatch in the versions of the plug-in vs. the application and libraries, it
is likely that PowerMath and/or InDesign may crash. A new message was added to indicate
a mismatch exists.
Fixed in build 2096
- After updating my hardware key, I get a message that the key is not setup properly.
When updating the dongle, there is a possibility that the dongle can become corrupt and need
to be returned to Power-House Software. If this occurs to your key, please send an email to
support@phsoftware.com
Fixed in build 2102
- More Math rules, Sup/Inf indices and Stacking indices are needed.
The number of available Math rule, Sup/Inf and Stacking indices have been increased to 40
Added in build 2107
- Another issue was discovered while updating the hardware key, resulting in the same
error as what was fixed in build 2102.
The hardware key can now be repaired with a special PowerKey file. Please contact
support@phsoftware.com if you experience an error that claims the key is not setup properly.
Fixed in build 2121
- No characters are displayed when typing in the editor.
The default scale was mistakenly set to zero when it should have been 200. With a scale of zero,
the characters to not display.
Fixed in build 2127
- Updating equations does not modify the point size when the "Base Point Size" setting is "Auto".
The point size of the paragraph is now used.
Fixed in build 2130
- ASCII import is failing to import equations with inferiors.
If the inferior is the first nested element of the equation, a test to see if the nesting level
was exceeded was improperly tested resulting in a nesting level error being reported.
Fixed in build 2134
- Built-up fractions with superiors and/or inferiors are placed incorrectly when auto-upsize
is enabled.
The superiors and inferiors are now placed at the correct levels within the equations. This includes
superiors and inferiors with parens.
Fixed in build 2147
- ASCII import fails to import case fractions and reports nesting errors when no errors exist.
The nesting level was incorrectly being reported as a negative number.
Fixed in build 2162
