Changes in 5.3:
1. The type of analysis "LLS", "Data Smoothed" or "Enhanced Data Smoothed"
is now chosen in the options. The output is changed accordingly; e.g. the
affiliation matrix is reported for whatever analysis mode was selected.
2. Alphanumeric inputs are now accepted.
3. The "Add data" feature now works
4. The bootstrap now estimates the sample distribution for whichever
analysis mode was selected (LLS, DS, or enhanced DS).
6. A bug involving missing data that is included in the first case has
been fixed.
7. The input for custom partitions has been changed. It is now possible to
describe breakpoint, numeric-interval, or categorical partitions using the
custom option
8. Redesigned the way that key data is presented.
9. Dl network output now outputs networks with correct end-of-line
characters. This was first addressed in 5.2.beta
10. Partition parameters are remembered inbetween analyses. This was first
addressed in 5.2.beta
11. improved modularity/reusability of codebase

Changes  in 5.0:
1. RDSAT now accepts string inputs. There is no longer a need to convert your data to integer codes
2. RDSAT now accepts floating point numbers. For example, you could include a variable such as height measured in meters.
3. You can now conduct breakpoint analyses with a specified interval inbetween breakpoints. Previously, the interval was fixed at 1.
4. In the edit data window, you may now add a field which has a recruit's sample weight (the weight with which they were over or under sampled due to network effects). This file can then be exported as plain text, and loaded into a spreadsheet for further analysis.
5. RDSAT tutorial can now be accessed from the "help" menu in the program.
