• Fixed intermittent issue when selecting Sets for Printing. Could report a fault after set was selected.

• Internal optimisation and improvements to the Rich Text handling that now avoid disk access during data editing.

504.061:

• The update script 040 modifies the data sources of subject reports to pick up year average scores from the correct location.
