progress bar only works when simulation completed
Testing changes for new fortran version
change cluster UI form for better error handling
Fatal errors in .NET components not always obvious in the GUI
In PLANT, set XF to 1.0 if there are values for ESP, EC or CL AND ModifyKL is true
New Barley varieties
Crop LL below Air Dry in Soilwat
Windows build scripts could be modified to allow for different compiler versions
