Also, several other useful workflow improvements have been added, such as the ability to clone a graph (create an exact copy), the ability to insert rows in the data spreadsheet, and the user can now format the numbers in the spreadsheet as desired. The custom models tool has been redesigned so that the simple and advanced models can be edited via the same window. There are also a list of bugs that have been addressed in this release.
