· Updated to Qt 4.5.2
· Converted all dialogs to Qt 4 Designer files suggested by George Miliotis. Compilation time is now shorter and intermediary and executable files are smaller.
· Added constraint teacher(s) min days per week (suggested by several users).
· Added constraint teacher(s) or students (set) for an activity tag maximum hours daily (suggested by several users). It is not perfect and must be enabled from settings menu.
· Added constraint students (set) max gaps per day. It is not perfect and must be enabled from settings menu.
· Very rare crash bug fix (reported by Marco Barsotti).
· Constraint room not available times permits now multiple constraints for the same room (so, you can use multiple constraints with different weights and preferences for the same room).
· In add/modify activity and modify subactivity dialogs, the students are displayed in a tree-like structure (suggested by George Miliotis).
· In all constraints dialogs, added a nice filter (suggested by daviodan).
· Changed name of constraint: MinNDaysBetweenActivities becomes MinDaysBetweenActivities.
· Added a count for activities list and constraints list.
· The constraints with tables now contain an X (nicer look), also centered nicely, and they have colors (which can be enabled in settings)
· The timetables view forms now center text in cells.
· Many other minor interface improvements.
· Rewritten the Catalan translation by Silvia. It is very complete, check it out.
· Added a new Greek sample file, by George Miliotis.
· Updated and improved Persian translation by sally sat.
· Dropped !DOCTYPE FET tag in the .fet files following general recommendations, and changed FET tag to fet tag. Of course you can open older files.
· Improved activities simple description (suggested by Massimo Mancini and alfaromeo).
· Added possibility to save the highest stage timetable (suggested by alfaromeo, pinco and Massimo Mancini).
· Added a new Romanian sample file, by Horatiu Halmajan.
· Updated translations: Russian, German, Romanian, Italian, Spanish.
· The timetable view dialogs now have resizeable widgets (you can drag the sections with the mouse) suggested by Ben Bauer.
· Added 2 new constraints: three activities grouped, max days between activities (suggested by Zsolt Udvari).
· Improved the names of constraints: "2" activities grouped, ordered and consecutive are now "two" activities grouped, ordered and consecutive.
· Code cleanup.
· Added a new Italian sample file, by Marco.
· Speed improvement if user has constraints activities same starting time, 2 activities consecutive and 2 activities ordered and activities not overlapping (idea and partial code by Volker Dirr). In some cases, the speed improvement is very high. This has to do with the initial ordering of the activities.
· Other minor speed improvements (idea and partial code by Volker Dirr).
· Added a Persian manual by Hamed SadeghiNeshat.
· Speed improvement if user has constraints activities same starting time. Idea and partial code by Volker Dirr.
· Added possibility to print activities with same starting time in the html timetables (suggested on the forum, implemented by Volker Dirr).
· Minor interface improments under GNU/Linux. The combo boxes are now smaller.
· Modified the main menu arrangement of constraints (suggested by Massimo Mancini).
· Crash bug fix (very rare, if user pressed cancel immediately after hitting generation start in timetable generate dialog).
· Added another sample file (by T. Renganathan).
· Leaking bugs fixed (closed Qt widgets were not removed).
· Bug fix in generation algorithm. This bug is not seen in practice, but the code in generate.cpp was incorrect in a minor portion. Specifically, it corrected tests done when the user has constraints of type students early max beginnings at second hour, without max gaps per week for students, with max or min hours daily for students.
· Added constraint teachers max days per week (suggested by Marco Barsotti).
· Made the results directory customizable (user can choose it) suggested by Massimo Mancini. Important: under Windows, the default location is not the usual one, but $HOMEfet-results (C:Documents and Settingsusernamefet-results or C:Usersusernamefet-results)
· Fixed a bug: if user deactivated some activities, in some cases he could not generate a timetable (if using preferred times for (sub)activities).
· Added a filter in add and modify dialogs constraints activities not overlapping (suggested by Yush Yuen).
· Added a new feature in the timetable generate dialog, which allows you to see the time when the highest number of activities was placed (suggested by Yush Yuen).
· Added a Catalan translation of the manual, by Joan de Gracia.
· Changed the name of the html timetable files.
· Corrected many translations' layout (by Liviu Lalescu).
· Added a new test for inconsitency for indirect links between constraints actvities same starting time (suggested by Silvia).
· Minor improvement in students statistics menu, user can select to view complete structure (duplicates enabled) or canonical structure.
· Interface improvement dialogs when removing the constraints or adding them are improved, so that they are not very large for large constraints.
· Selection mode in constraints not available and preferred slots is improved you can click table header (suggested by Massimo Mancini).
· Minor other interface improvements.
· Export warns if existing files (suggested by Angela).
· Changed directory of sample inputs to 'examples'.
· Added a 'Related' checkbox in activities and subactivities dialogs (suggested by Bingen).
· Speed improvement in some precomputing situations (not in generation).
· Improved size for constraints with combo boxes of very large activities (suggested by Bingen).
· Added the Russian translation (incomplete) - by Ilya V. Paramonov
· Added the Persian translation (incomplete) - by Hamed SadeghiNeshat
· Minor bug fix by Volker Dirr - highlighting the same teacher or student set, for html level >= 5, did not work correctly for advanced statistics export.
· Improved compilation time and memory consumption by modifying the data reading and parsing routines (additional checking/tests needed here).
· Minor memory leak fix (normally, not noticeable).
· Minor interface bug fix (description of constraint teacher max gaps per day displayed incorrectly information about the gaps, writing "per week" instead of "per day").
· Modified the order of search for translation files (firstly in current directory, then in current directory/translations, then, under Unix-like, in /usr/share/fet/translations).
· Added constraint activity tag preferred room(s) - suggested by Horatiu Halmajan and Catalin Maican.
· Crash bug fix when importing activities (reported by Thomas Schwartz).
· Improvements and corrections in the import filter.
· Improved a situation for fixed timetables which were impossible sometimes (reported by Horatiu Halmajan).
· Improved the html timetables by Volker Dirr.
· Crash bug fix for constraint min gaps between activities with weight below 100%.

· Improved a bit the memory consumption.
· To avoid Windows problems with very large filenames, the sample file names were shortened.
· Minor html timetables corrections (cosmetic).
· Updates in Spanish, Arabic, Romanian and Italian translations.
· Minor improvements.
· Minor improvements (code cleanup) - modified a bit the xml files to contain for boolean variables only true/false values instead of yes/no (following xml format recommendations).
· Minor improvement: the constraint activity preferred starting time must have now the day and the hour both specified, so there is a clearer distinction between preferred starting time and preferred starting times.
· Minor improvement - when reading some kind of invalid data, instead of crashing, now FET reports the error (like for instance duplicate teachers, or subjects, or wrong tags).
· Minor improvements in the Italian, Arabic and Spanish translations.
· Added a sample file from Azu Boba.
· The index.html links now open in the same window (suggested by daviodan).
· Added the possibility to view locked activities in the timetables and toggle lock/unlock activities in the timetable (suggested by Azu Boba, implemented by Liviu Lalescu and Volker Dirr).
· Added the possibility to lock/unlock the activities of a certain day (suggested by Azu Boba, implemented by Liviu Lalescu and Volker Dirr).
· Added the possibility to lock/unlock the activities which end students day (suggested by Volker Dirr, implemented by Liviu Lalescu).
· The constraints activity preferred starting time and activity preferred room have now an attribute, which can mean that some constraints are added permanently by the human operator and cannot be unlocked from the view timetable form (suggested by Azu Boba, done by Liviu Lalescu and Volker Dirr).
· Minor bug fixes (very rare crashes).
· Minor improvements - when viewing the timetable, the detailed activity view is updated correctly (suggested by Jose Cesar Fernandez Lopez).
· Other minor interface improvements.
· Minor improvement: the directories under Windows contain now the correct back-slash, instead of forward slash.
· Repaired the Turkish translation (by Liviu Lalescu), but it is still old and incomplete.
· Added the output of activities timetable as xml
· Minor improvements (the settings are now saved in a file which does not contain spaces under GNU/Linux, added a better #define Q_OS_WIN for detecting Windows in compilation).
· Minor interface improvements (Command line version now has the parameter "htmllevel", the old one was "timetablehtmllevel", which still works. Added description in the README file of the default values. Other interface improvements).
· Added constraint 2 activities grouped, which is the non-oriented version of constraint 2 activities consecutive (the activities can be placed in any order, but one near the other) (suggested by sherman)
· Added an additional test to ensure that constraints same starting time are not impossible
· Very minor bug fixes (when working with redundant constraints same starting time/day/hour). This bug is most probably unnoticed.
· Added an additional sample file by Zsolt Udvari (Bethlen, Hungary).
· Minor bug fix - if searching for updates at startup is enabled, it gave segmentation fault when exiting FET, under GNU/Linux. Probably unnoticed bug.
· Switched to Qt 4.4.3
· Added a user's manual by Volker Dirr
· Spanish translation update by Jose Cesar Fernandez Lopez
· Added an additional sample file by Horatiu Halmajan (Faculty of Economics, Timisoara, Romania)

· Added 2 more samples by Cristian Balint
· Small bug fix in statistics exported as html, by Volker Dirr
· Added an option to remove redundant constraints
· Added exporting of advanced statistics as html by Volker Dirr
