Application bugs:

The project team, with the assistance of many AT users, has identified  
and fixed many bugs over the last several months.  The history of this  
activity is distilled in the AT 1.5 release notes located in the  
directory where the AT is installed.

All bug descriptions and actions can be viewed at:  https://jira.nyu.edu:8443/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa 
.  New bugs can be reported via the same tool or, preferably, by using  
the bug reporting function within the AT application.

Thank you for your continuing interest and support.
