        Changes
        =======
        
        1.1.0 (2015-11-12)
        -----------
        - (Feature) OPAL now saves a vector to the workspace of those municipalities 
          (softboundary 3) that intersect the project footprint.  This is only saved
          when the softboundary 3 input is provided by the user.
        - (Bugfix) Corrected an issue where testing future scenarios in the static map 
          generator would raise an exception.
        - (Usability) Versioning replaced by `natcap.versioner`
        - (Usability) OPAL UI is now offered in spanish as well as english.
        - (Usability) OPAL UI allows for the user to select their language of choice among 
          those offered (currently english and spanish).
        - (Feature) OPAL/MAFE-T report and output CSV values are rounded to 3 significant 
          figures.
        - (Bufgix) Improved sorting by checkboxes in output report.
        - (Usability) Improved logging to user within longer-running processes.
        - (Feature) User's guide is tracked as a subrepository along with each build of
          OPAL.  User's guide version numbers are pulled from the OPAL source tree.
        - (Feature) OPAL/MAFE-T report now includes the OPAL version used and a 
          time/date stamp.
        - (Bugfix) The OPAL/MAFE-T report used to offer a hyperlink to the vector
          (a multi-part ESRI Shapefile) containing the set of parcels matching 
          criteria.  Clicking this link would only download part of the file.
          It has been replaced with a text reference to the location of the file on 
          disk.
        - (Usability) Select all/Select None buttons have been removed from the report.
          They didn't work.  They will be added back when they work properly.
        - (Usability) Files within the workspace that are outside of the per-hydrozone
          analysis are now hidden within an intermediate/ folder.
        - (Usability) Various files have been renamed.
        - (Bugfix) The headers of the top table of the output report now render in the
          language of the OPAL run.  They used to always render in english.
        - (Bugfix) Parcels in the parcels table of the report are now correctly screened
          to ensure that they are at least as large as the smallest impacted area
          of the same ecosystem type.
        - (Usability) The user is now unable to close the OPAL/MAFE-T execution dialog
          unless the model run has completed or the process is terminated externally.
        - (Bugfix) Better handling for when the user provides an ecosystem vector without
          any features or when the vector is of the wrong type (points or lines instead
          of polygons).
        - (Usability) When a validated, optional input has its value removed from a UI
          input, the green checkbox indicating input validity is now disabled.
        - (Bugfix) OPAL UI now allows files containing any UTF-8 character to be selected
          by the user.
        - (Feature) Output vector of selected offsets now includes the distance from the 
          nearest impact site and the parcel size in the attribute table.
        - (Bugfix) Output report had some columns that were incorrectly rounded to 1 
          decimal place instead of 2.
        - (Usability) OPAL/MAFE-T will now confirm that the user wishes to overwrite the
          workspace if files exist within the user-defined workspace.  This dialog
          is triggered if the user-defined workspace exists and there are files within.
        - (Usability) OPAL/MAFE-T will now prompt the user for a language on startup
          and remember the user's selection.  The language may be set at any time
          through File -> Select Language.  Changing the language will trigger an 
          application restart.
        
        
        1.0.3 (2015-3-20)
        -----------------
        - (Usability) Improved many UI labels.
        - (Usability) Improved folder name of the results folder.
        - (Bugfix) Removed empty folders created by the tool in the workspace.
        - (Bugfix) Corrected text of link to offsets vector in report.
        - (Bugfix) Implemented automatic window sizing.
        - (Usability) Filled in empty UI HelpText bubbles.
        - (Usability) Renamed static map folder inputs to indicate it needs a folder.
        - (Docs) Updated documentation to 1.0.3.
        - (Bugfix) Clarified in report that impact/offset values are unitless unless
          run on static maps generated by calibrated models.
        - (Bugfix) Paths containing spaces now handled properly in UI.
        - (Feature) If user does not define an AOI, the AOI column is not included in
          the report.
        - (Feature) Added Table of Contents to the output report.
        - (Usability) Updated labels of Windows Start Menu shortcuts.
        - (Bugfix) Offset parcels are now identified by a new column ("parcel_id") in
          the selected_parcels.shp vector.
        - (Bugfix) If there is only one subzone per zone, we omit the soft boundary 1
          (subzone) column from the parcels table in the report.
        - (Feature) Sped up initialization of the execution thread in the UI.
        - (Feature) Updated CSS to improve readability of output report tables.
        - (Feature) Added ability to export the parcels table to CSV.
        - (Feature) Binary 1/0 values in report columns are now centered for readability.
        - (Feature) UI now allows user to specify whether to open the workspace after
          Successful execution.  Once execution completes (regardless of success or
          failure), the input changes to a button, allowing the user to open the
          workspace.
        - (Feature) Parcels table in the report now includes a binary column indicating
          whether each parcel is in the suggested set of parcels.
        - (Feature) Updated InVEST version dependency to use more recent versions of
          hydrological routing algorithms.
        
        1.0.2 (2015-1-20)
        -----------------
        - OPAL only: forcing the OPAL UI to use English.  This fixes an issue found by

        1.0.1 (2014-12-16)
        ------------------
        - Updated MAFE-T static map UIs to provide correct parameters to OPAL core
          while retaining MAFE-T's original functionality.
        - Updated MAFE-T UI input validation to reflect name changes for some static inputs.
        - Replaced servicesheds of MAFE-T with a more complete version.
        - Retained older version of servicesheds for use with OPAL.
        - Updated MAFE-T User's guide PDF.
