This release fixes several bugs and introduces a new ring-type help feature.

See the readme in the zip file for details.

Improvement over the July 2011 release:

Ring types mouse over help: When you mouse over a ring type in the Ring Type drop down selector, you now get a short explanatory pop-up.

Bugs fixed

New Feature:
1. When you mouse hover on a glyph in the ring type editor you will see the standard verbalization that describes that ring type.
Bugs Fixed:
1. Objectified fact type shapes displayed as object types did not reconnect role players when a file was reloaded.
2. Fixed some ring type combination implications in the ring type editor.
3. Zoom and Extension Manager commands were not available with multiple items selected.
4. (VS2010 only ) Changing generation settings for a specific file format wrote multiple conflicting lines to the project file. Only the original setting was recognized by the generator.

When you run Setup.bat or SetupVista.bat, this will uninstall any existing version of NORMA and then install the new code.

For Windows 7, use Setup.bat.
