All Climate data and calculations from ITU-R Recommendations were reviewed and updated with the latest versions where applicable.

Improvements to the installer, especially when installing in multi-user environments.
User preferences are now stored in the user's AppData\Roaming\RadcomSearch folder rather than windows registry.
All CSV output files use UTF-8 encoding, and include the UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) so they will be loaded correctly in Excel.
