===============================

   Work in 2018 mainly provided a variety of bug fixes.  The most important improvements and new capabilities provided in the *G7* software are these:

   - Improved Documentation:  The *G7* documentation was revised heavily in 2012 and has been updated again in 2018, with new Help files, Users' Guide, Reference Manual, Tutorial, and `other documentation <http://inforumweb.inforumecon.com/software/g7.html>`_.  `Companion documents <http://inforumweb.inforumecon.com/software/documentation.html>`_ in HTML and PDF formats also were updated.  In particular, recent software improvements and extensions have been documented, and cross reference hyperlinks have been added to the Reference Manual.
