   single: G7 New; For 2024

*G7*: New for 2024
===============================

   Work in 2024 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:

   - Substantial effort began in 2021 to shift development of *G7* from Borland Builder 6 (a 1990s-vintage IDE) to Embarcadero RAD Studio.  Early in 2023, development again shifted to the newer C++ Builder 11.  Most fatures now are working in the new environment, though additional testing of the new edition is needed before general release.  G7.3x indicates older versions compiled under Builder 6, and G7.41 and later versions are compiled with C++ Builder.


   - Improved Documentation:  The *G7* documentation was revised heavily in 2012 and has been updated again in 2023, 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)  *Forthcoming...*

   - An Abridged Listing of Bug Fixes:

      a)  Fixed several problems affecting the :ref:`vmake routine<G7RMvmake>` that caused 1) date misalignment between source and destination objects and 2) failure with vector-to-vector operations.
