tsClinical Metadata Desktop Tools v1.1.2
    Released on: May 1, 2023
========================================

New features and bug fixes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) [Create CRF Spec from Datasets] and [Create eDT Spec from Datasets]
    menus now support Header Row Number that indicates from which row
    the tool extracts column names. Former versions always selected the
    first row as the header row even when # of Header Lines is more
    than one.
(2) [Convert from Excel to Define-XML] now opens the input Excel file
    explicitly in the read-only mode. The former v1.1.x locked the
    Excel file while the tool is running.
(3) All dependent Java libraries, especially Log4j and POI, have been
    upgraded to the latest available versions to address security
    vulnerabilities contained in former library versions including
    CVE-2022-23307, CVE-2022-23305, CVE-2022-23302, CVE-2021-4104,
    CVE-2019-17571 and CVE-2019-12415.

tsClinical Metadata Desktop Tools v1.1.1
    Released on: February 3, 2023
========================================

New features and bug fixes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The following bugs have been fixed:
    - The following columns were configured as required in the [Convert
      from Excel to Define-XML] menu, but have been changed to optional
      for backward compatibility.
      - Description in DATASET
      - SASFieldName in VARIABLE
      - SASFieldName in VALUE
      - SASFormatName, Decode, User Note 1 and User Note 2 in CODELIST
      - User Note 1 and User Note 2 in DICTIONARY
    - The [Convert from Excel to Define-XML] menu has been fixed to create
      QNAM for those with N (e.g. VAR1, VAR2, VAR3 ...) only when
      Repeat N is entered for a non-standard variable.
    - The issue that the [Convert from Excel to Define-XML] / [Convert
      from Define-XML to Excel] menu keeps opening an Excel file after
      the conversion was completed has been fixed.
    - The [Convert from Excel to Define-XML] menu appended ".0" to an
      integer value in Define-XML when a Excel cell format was other
      than "Text". The issue has been fixed.
(2) A fix to Security Advisory GHSA-v99q-c7rh-fxpg has been implemented.
    See the [Security] - [Advisories] menu on GitHub for details.

========================================
tsClinical Metadata Desktop Tools v1.1.0
    Released on: November 1, 2022
========================================

New features and bug fixes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) [Convert from Excel to Define-XML] and [Convert from Define-XML to
    Excel] functions have been fully rewritten to add or improve the
    following functionality:
    - Both Define-XML 2.0.0 and 2.1.n are now supported.
    - Import Analysis Results Metadata (ARM) to Excel is now supported.
    - Cases and spaces in input Excel column names are ignored when
      reading (e.g. "DataType", "Data Type" and "Data type" are all
      accepted as a valid column name.)
    - Separate METHOD and COMMENT sheets can be optionally used rather
      than writing them in each sheet.
    - Inconsistencies in Excel are now reported as warnings when
      creating Define-XML.
    - "No Data" column is now supported for both Define-XML 2.0.0 and
      2.1.n. For 2.0.0, datasets, variables and VLMs are not exported
      when "No Data" is Yes.
    - "Repeat N" column is now supported to replicate repeating
      variables (e.g. TSVALn, COVALn and RACEn). "Length" column now
      support multiple values to assign different legth to replicated
      variables.
    - Mappings between Excel and Define-XML have been updated. See
      Mapping_Design_Define.xlsx in the docs directory for details.
(2) A new [Convert from XML to HTML] menu has been added to enable
    creating HTML from Define-XML using a style sheet.
(3) Mappings from Architect CRF to CRF Spec have been improved. See
    Mapping_Design_Architect.xlsx in the docs directory for details.
(4) The following bugs have been fixed:
    - Potential error when reading blank cells in Architect CRF on the
      [Create CRF Spec from Datasets] menu has been fixed.
    - Error when reading date values with mixed formats in the same
      column on the [Create CRF Spec from Datasets] menu has been fixed.
    - '(' was used as a qualifier when '(None)' was selected on the
      [Create CRF Spec from Datasets] and [Create eDT Spec from Datasets]
      menus. The backspace (\b) is now applied as a qualifier when
      '(None)' is selected.
    - The [Convert from Excel to ODM-XML] menu always set "No" to the
　　　　　　Repeating attribute of ItemGroupDef　when the ItemGroupDef was
　　　　　　automatically created. The attribute　value is now the same as the
　　　　　 Repeating attribute of the FormDef.
    - The [Convert from Excel to ODM-XML] menu　now sets unique FormRef
      OrderNumber in the entire ODM document, rather than in each
      EventDef. This is a workaround of an issue that tsClinical for
      SDTM Automation generates Annotated CRF with TOC in an unexpected
　　　　  order.
    - Incorrect sorting algorithm of sorting fields could cause an
      error when importing Architect CRF. The algorithm has been fixed.
    - Parameters entered in the [Create CRF Spec from Datasets] screen
      were not reflected to the output STUDY sheet when "Datasets Text
      Files" is empty. The issue has been fixed.
