After a short period of testing, we have pushed Lutheran Service Builder version 2.1.25 to the automatic update servers, and all users should be prompted for the patch on their next update check.

This update solves several issues encountered in the last few versions of Builder, including an error specifically affecting the Statistics module (about which more was written in the previous news post).

The changes made to Builder since version 2.1.23 are:

• When viewing graphs and charts in the Statistics View, if a label needs to be moved to the left of a plot to fit in the window, the label is now moved a little farther to the left so it won’t overlap the plot.
• In the Favorite Hymns view in Statistics, user-created hymns without hymn numbers are now labeled as nothing at all rather than as “000″.
• Titles have been added to the graphs in the Statistics View.
• The ESC key and ALT+TAB will now both close the popup window used at the Calendar View.
• When viewing the Hymn Statistics Profile, date labels now appear in bold when the mouse pointed hovers over hymn-date hits.
• An instance where the MIDI player was appearing when it wasn’t supposed to be has been suppressed.
• The Database Repair Utility has been updated to include two additional commands: “Delete user database” and “Delete assemblies”. These commands should only be used when you are directed to do so by support personnel.

The bug fixes made to Builder since version 2.1.23 are:

• When viewing the Hymn Statistics Profile, user-created hymns are now included in a meaningful way at the top of the chart.
• When viewing the Hymn Statistics Profile, end dates will no longer erroneously filter out some valid results.
• The Presentation generator was not properly creating hymn slides with one stanza at a time. This has been fixed.
• An issue preventing the “remove unseasonable elements automatically” feature from working has been resolved.
• An issue where double-clicking different user-defined Hymns in the “Browse” list in the Planning View would cause double-clicked hymns to adopt the name of a previously selected user-created hymn has been resolved.
• When Builder is missing database files, it now runs the repair utility rather than simply showing an error message and asking you to contact Support.
• A significant issue in place since 2.1.6 has been resolved. This issue prevented statistics from being recorded for any elements used at a level deeper than the first in a service outline (which was normally all hymns).
