===<Part 1: Changes to HVE-CSI System Software>======================

Section A: Enhancements 
(none)

Section B: Bug Fixes 
1.  Vehicle Editor: The Tire Information dialog was defaulting to the first tire in the list for a 
    specific tire size and not the tire from the selected database.  This has been corrected.

2.  Event Editor: If a payload was added to a trailer, a drawbar may have been improperly drawn. 
    This has been corrected.

Section C: Other Changes
1.  General:  Added a toggle for Belt Anchors.

===<Part 2: Changes to EDCRASH Software>============================

Section A: Enhancements
(none)

Section B: Bug Fixes 
1.  General: A damage offset was being reported incorrectly for certain CDC codes.
    This has been corrected.

Section C: Other Changes
(none)

===<Part 3: Changes to EDSMAC Software>=============================

Section A: Enhancements
(none)

Section B: Bug Fixes 
(none)

Section C: Other Changes
(none)

===<Part 4: Changes to Generic Vehicle Database Software>===========

Section A: Enhancements   
1.  The following new tires have been added:

	Type	          Manufacturer	   Model	     Size
	-----------------------------------------------------------
	Passenger Car     Generic          Generic       P275/45R18	
	Passenger Car     Generic          Generic       P215/45R20	
	Passenger Car     Generic          Generic       P255/45R20	
	Passenger Car     Generic          Generic       P255/50R19	
	
Section B: Bug Fixes
1.  The following corrections were made to the EDC vehicle databse:

        a.) The P245/45R18 tire was built for the 2017 Audi Allroad and that tire was accidently built with a weight of
            45 lbs when the actual measured weight was 55 lbs. The TIR calculations and file were updated to reflect the
			new tire weight. 

        b.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-50R20.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

        c.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-60R16.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

        d.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-60R18.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

Section C: Other Changes
