Even though SOFA is still tagged as an early release on the main project website, and as a beta program on the SourceForge site, there have been over 7,000 downloads already.  And the current release feels more solid to me than some of the expensive proprietary products I have used in my career as a researcher and analyst.  Of course, please feel free to report any bugs that you find (<a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/sofastatistics\">http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/sofastatistics<\/a>) so they can be fixed before the next release.<\/p>\n<p>The basic list of new features is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\nSOFA now detects screen resolution and sizes height of dialogs\/controls accordingly to better handle both netbooks and larger screens.<\/li>\n<li>Now able to delete rows in data entry\/editing and configuration tables using the delete key.<\/li>\n<li>Added hyperlinks to main form for main project website and community website.<\/li>\n<li>The project configuration window can be completely resized making it easier to see all settings.<\/li>\n<li>The read-only default project form now has an OK button at the bottom right so it can be closed the same way as every other form.<\/li>\n<li>Added preliminary chart configuration form.  Output charting still under development.  In some ways this is the most important development, even though it doesn&#8217;t offer anything to the user in the current version apart from a taste of the likely interface.<\/li>\n<li>Hovering over image buttons now shows a different cursor in Ubuntu so users know that they are buttons they can click.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the bug fixes of course:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spreadsheets lacking a header are now correctly imported including the first line.<\/li>\n<li>All forms of data import now cope with data which has altered field names in preparation for import into SQLite.<\/li>\n<li>Clustered bar charts in the Chi Square output work even if there are lots of bars missing from some clusters.<\/li>\n<li>Removed import statement that caused problems on some systems.<\/li>\n<li>Button clicks occurring while inside a configuration text box now work as expected on first attempt.<\/li>\n<li>If the primary key for an MS Access database lacks autonumbering, it will only be eligible for saving if it has a non-missing value.<\/li>\n<li>Hourglass doesn&#8217;t remain open too long when clicking Expand button in Ubuntu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently running a small poll on the main project page about the most important things to work on next (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sofastatistics.com\">http:\/\/www.sofastatistics.com<\/a>).
