Important
Changes in the rules and the associated requirements file could mean projects started with the previous version should be checked carefully in line with the changes. We recommend you make a copy of the file and test with the new rules. Ensure any new values are entered in the parameters and that you have any new sheets / columns present so that the rules function correctly.
Version 2.2.19 released 2024/02/06
