  • Now automaticaly parses Results files on opening, for better compatibility with Lion.
  • Added calculation of confidence intervals using bootstrapping for AMOVA and G-statistics.

  • The number of decimals in the results can now be set by the user.
  • Fixed bug in special include of populations.
  • Correct writing of individual names in Genetix format.
