   single: G7 New; For 2020

*G7*: New for 2020
===============================

   Work in 2020 provided new features, improvements to existing features, and 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 2020, 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.


   - Miscellaneous Improvements:

      a)  Added intelligent search for .pmx files to various VAM routines, where the file location is specified in the .vam file by the :ref:`pmfile command<g7rmpmfile>` but sometimes *G7* has trouble finding it once files are moved.

   - An Abridged Listing of Bug Fixes:

      a)  Fixed a bug with the :ref:`getsum command <G7RMgetsum>`. 

   The final version of G7 in 2020 was 7.38994.
