  1. v2.15.1iOS
    This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.
    
    NEW:
    - Rafter analysis and design portion of Diagonal function has been redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up.  Now you can input Rise, Run and/or Diagonal values using realistic site measurements, instead of "Theoretical" values.  BuildCalc takes these site dimensions and, with your specified design details, it calculates the rafter layout (including corresponding theoretical dimensions) and generates a complete Rafter Layout Drawing
    Fixed:
    - Crash when entering advanced functions after a fresh install
    - iOS Swipe bar overlaps BuildCalc's Toolbar at page bottom - making some operations very difficult to access.
    - Entering HBP (Height Below Plate) incorrectly calculates HAP and breaks Common Rafter layout drawing.
