- Reinstall the ICT as explained in the Installation section.
- Added the ability to install the Interpreting and Checking tool directly from the Catalogue browser
- Added the ability to automatically create all the needed folders and files if they are not present into the main folder of the Catalogue Browser
- Now the tool is able to work for both the 32/64 bit architecture
- New ability to auto update the Interpreting and Checking tool database when a download of the new version of the opened MTX catalogue (in the Catalogue browser) is performed
- Auto download the ICT if trying to press the Install ICT button from the Catalogue browser (note that the zip file and the ICT folders should not be present into the main folder of the Catalogue browser)
- New ability to launch the ICT from the Catalogue browser
- Password protection for macros (please contact data.collection@efsa.europa.eu if you need the password for modifying the content of the macros).
- Resolved concurrency errors occurring while performing an Export/Upload of the Interpreting and Checking Tool's database
