New features

Marklund's biomass functions now default in new projects

Marklund's biomass functions are now the default biomass function when you create a new project. Marklund's function have been found to give more logical results since they include tree height. Information on what functions have been implemented can be found here: http://heurekaslu.org/wiki/Biomass_functions

Help documentation on result variables and concepts

The Heureka Wiki is used as a complement to the actual help document to give more in-depth documentation, for example about models, and as a reference dictionary to certain terms and concepts. New pages are currently being added to give a concentrated overview of Result Variables and control table settings. A dictionary has also been added, which for example includes an explanation on how net present value is calculated. Note that much of the variable explanations are the same as those displayed as tool tips in the applications, but put at one place to give a better overview.

Bug fix: Third rotation not correct

In the treatment program generator (TPG), Heureka is often simulating three rotations. The third rotation has been too simplified, with a faulty timing of thinnings. Since the discounted value of that rotation is typically very small, the error should not have affected solution to any considerable extent, but the reported soil expectation values have not been correct.
