07/02/2012: Fairmat Academic 1.2.5 has been released

Fairmat 1.2.5 is a bugfixing and improvements release for Fairmat 1.2

Fixes:

-Fixed a proxy issue with webservices (user feedback)
-Fixed option map timing description
-Fixed wrong plug-in version information detection
-Fixed plug-in enabling and disabling
-Fixed a bug which involves option editing in multi-scenario projects
-Fixed bug which may broke plug-ins upgrading

Improvements:

- Expressions Editor: It easier to use the Expression Autocomplete, now it appears automatically when writing expressions. In any case it is  possible to choose (the fairmat settings) the old activation behavior (CTRL+SPACE).
- User defined symbols can be reordered by name/category.
- When Fairmat starts creates a new project and maximize project editing forms
- What-if analysis improvements: A new Fairmat Symbol (Scenario) is available. The Variable 'Scenario' indicates the current scenario index (from 1 to number of defined user scenarios).This improves the flexibility of the in defining how a scenario differs from another one given that expressions can now be conditioned to scenarios:  iif(Scenario==1; do this; do that)  and scenario dependent variables can be defined: Eg if you want to define a scenario dependent variaible A, just create a Vector called A and use 'scenario' as index. For example in any expression you can write A[Scenario] obtaining a value for the variable A which is scenario dependent.
