Input File (*.rsd) Format

• New STIFFNESS and STIFFMULT optional directives.

   Response Surface Identification Module

• Implementation of RS identification with pointwise specifiable stiffness or bandwidth.

    Response Surface Query Module

• Implementation of matlab output format ('-fmt matlab' option to rsq3.sh script). 
• User-specifiable coverage factor for constraint uncertainty MonteCarlo analysis ('-csig' option to rsq3.sh script). 
• New options for outputting real zone names, point numbers and zone numbers. 
• New instructions on use of '-dv', '-of', '-z', and '-fmt' directives. 
• Improved description of '-objf' directive, including penalty constraint, variable constraint specification in the objective function, and summary of available functions. 
• Cleanup of legacy format.

    Optimization / Response Surface Search Module

• User-specifiable coverage factor for constraint uncertainty MonteCarlo analysis ('-csig' option to rss3.sh script).
• Improved description of '-objf' directive. 
  

    Distribution / Sample Cases

• Added new sample case "xsonic," a tutorial emphasizing the use of pointwise-variable stiffness/bandwidth capability.
  
• Added matlab output format example and Octave graphics postprocessing to "fusion_3D" sample case (see fusion_3D.readme). 
• Increased robustness for compatibility with older versions of gnuplot.
