Listed below is a summary of the issue(s) that have been fixed in this release:
===============================================================================================================
1. In a Text Area, right-clicking on a button and selecting "Edit Text Area" may under certain conditions cause Spotfire to terminate.
1. When starting to edit a Text Area and hovering with the mouse pointer over a button, the application becomes unstable.
2. Configuration blocks with document properties do not work if the document is shared.
3. Custom methods with argument type overloading do not work, e.g., if a Foo method taking integers and a Foo method taking strings have been defined, only one of the methods will actually be used.
4. Web Player memory usage can keep increasing when loading analyses with linked data.
5. Under some conditions, the Web Player does not release memory properly for analyses containing Table plots.
6. Using the Web Player, an empty white page is shown in the web browser when opening an analysis while it is being loaded by Scheduled Updates.
7. Clicking Undo followed by Redo after creating a data relation causes the application to become unstable.
8. Case expressions are evaluated differently in 5.0.x compared to 4.x with respect to null values.
9. Instability when using subtotals in Cross Tables with hierarchies on the vertical axes.
10. Instability when moving hierarchy slider in Cross Table.
11. Continuous heavy load on Web Player server over extended periods of time can lead to memory not being released properly.
12. Instability caused by failure to parse certain expressions when opening analyses created in previous versions of Spotfire.
13. In version 5.0.1, a row containing only "" is no longer discarded when reading text data files.
14. Multiple non-aggregating expressions cannot be used on the y-axis in Line, Combination or Bar Charts.
16. Calling API method DataTable.GetRows without any cursors may lead to instability - the error message is "Creating a datarowcursor with zero cursors will not result in any work getting done".
17. Spotfire may terminate when managing relations, after having removed a column used in a relation and then also renamed the Data table it belonged to.
