This release of DASH adds additional functionality to bring DASH 3 closer to a full CATI/Web capable implementation.

• A large number of new Tcl commands are available to handle complex logic in forms.
• Macroforms have been introduced to allow form extension/inheritence and a macroform compiler is available on the menu to convert them to regular DASH forms.
• New field types "html", "link", "page", "script" and "xul" are now defined.
• New field use attributes dashDontknow, dashExit, dashLanguage, dashLast, dashNext and dashRefuse may be used to define button fields as DASH control buttons in web forms.
• A new field use attribute "returnHref" may be used to dynamically specify the web URL to go to after web form completion.
• A new field attribute "visible" may be used to hide a field on a page.
• Pages, text elements, grids, trs and cells may now each have a script attribute.
• List labels may now have individual style and script attributes.
• Lists can now be used more generally for "array fields", not just "check", "list" and "radio" fields. Button, check, image, link, list, o and radio fields can all be array fields by setting the field "list" or "dynamic" attributes. The field "trs", "columns", "even", "odd" and "orient" attributes, and so on, also determine the appearance of all array fields.
• An image field can now display a tooltip by using the field "label" attribute.
• A button field can now display an image by using the field "uri" attribute.
• Sample forms and templates are now installed in directory /home/projects. The directory /usr/local/dash3/forms has been removed.

• A preview release of the form editor is included but the form save feature is disabled to prevent form updates. A number of features and efficiency improvements need to be made before it can be used to create forms.
• Recode, revise and view data entry options have been added to the btrser data entry client and to the terminal client.
• Server administration is now carried out from a menu selection which allows the administrator to list users and forms and to remove them.
• A new supervisor interface has been set up in the menu which allows the supervisor to monitor user activity and to monitor the screen of a btrser based interviewer.
• The form preload option has been moved to the form element in the scheduler control start-up file.

• DASH now includes a separate server to handle both DASH 2 and 3 licence and communication requirements. The DASH 2 integration is not complete in this release.
• The terminal client has been upgraded to handle all of the DASH 3 field types.
• The web interviewing client has been rewritten to not use cookies and to clear the users cache of form pages so that recovery is possible when btrsing other sites while an interview is under way.
• Testing a form now automatically enters "test" to the status field unless overwritten by user logic.
• The default web interview timeout is now 120 minutes unless modified by the form "inactiveTimeout" property.
• Logins are now blocked until the system start-up and form preloads are complete.
• Tomcat has been upgraded to version 5.0.25.
• Xerces has been upgraded to version 2.6.2.
• Xalan has been upgraded to version 2.6.0.

• A new utility converts any HTML based form into a DASH form.
• The DASH 2 to 3 conversion utility has been improved to handle more complex forms.

• The default configuration for Tomcat does not allow symbolic links from the webapps applications to external image files. To allow forms to access images place the images in webapps/ROOT/images and access them with a URL of "/images/xxx.png".
• To enable test, recode, revise and view in the terminal client an administrator login is currently required.
• Monitoring of data entry terminal clients by the supervisor is not available in this version.
• For this release do not set <log> to false in the "client request interface" of the startup file "data.xml". Doing this causes menu requests to occasionally fail.

• The web interview servlet did not terminate datagram connections to the server at the end of a hung interview. A new cleaning thread is now included to monitor hung connections and close them. The default timeout scan may be set in the web.xml file.
