Dear user,

Thank you for using the MIX program, version MIX 1.2. This update contains a substantial mount of new features and also a number of fixes. If this is the first time you are using the program, please read the Quick Start Guide carefully.

Major points of improvement in version 1.2 are:
* Export functionality received major make-over
* Short and detailed report functions
* New look of funnel plots
* You can now change the event coding in data sets with dichotomous input
* Zero-cell continuity correction can be altered manually and includes the option of using  "1/opposite arm N"
* You can now copy current output as a picture file to the clipboard
* The publication bias output now also includes the original summary analysis output as a reference for the trim-and-fill output
* The input summary output includes a graphical display of the weights and weights are given in percentage
* Check for updates via the help menu
* Register for the mailing list via the help menu

The following bugs were fixed in version 1.2:
* Export bugs
* Trim-and-fill method output bug
* Model dropdown box bug in toolbar (only with comparative data sets)
* Data set wizard bug when making comparative data sets (now RR and OR labels are corrected to ln(RR) and ln(OR))

As I am developing this program primarily by myself, I am taking things step by step. The program should run smoothly, but there are still a couple of issues and disabled features that need to be dealt with. The Theory Tour and Program Tour are to be expanded and a complete manual is in the making. Check the MIX website (http://www.mix-for-meta-analysis.info) for more news or subscribe to the mailinglist (via website or from within the program). 

Good luck,
Leon Bax
