Dear user,

Thank you for using the MIX program, version MIX 1.5. If this is the first time you are using the program, please read the Quick Start Guide carefully.

The major new features of version 1.5:
* Rudimentary version of new help system included (regular Windows HTML help)  
* Annotated forest plot update
* Heterogeneity data update
* Meta-analysis input convertor now converts correlation coefficients & N to correlation coefficients and SE
* Thanks to the above, correlation coefficients can now be analyzed via comparative input analyses
* Options for standardized measures (Hedges's g & Cohen's d) expanded (in preferences)
* Import data directly from Excel
* Included data sets from the book by Glasziou et al
* Fixed minor bugs (e.g. exclusion sensitivity plot (random effects), regression analysis

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 incomplete or disabled features that need to be dealt with. Check the MIX website (http://www.mix-for-meta-analysis.info) for more news or subscribe to the mailinglist (via the website or from within the program). 

Good luck,
Leon Bax
