In addition, a number of fixes, etc, were put into 2.0.2 and earlier releases and those releases went unannounced.  Those updates included the following items:

1. There is no longer a default .properties file for the Extractor.  This will force a user to specify a .properties file.  (2.0.2.601)
2. Removed the "/" character as a switch for command line arguments as it causes problems in Linux. (2.0.2.605)
3. Fixed issue when combining MaxL input with relational output where a "not supported" error message would appear due to certain properties were not being read correctly from the XML file (2.0.2.601)
4. Command line operations resulted in an error due to an improper attempt to interact with the GUI progress bar. (2.0.2.601)
5. Shared members attributes where not be properly written resulting in a delimiter/column count mismatch. (2.0.2.625)
6. Added encoding options where a user can choose between UTF-8 and ANSI encodings.  The Extractor will attempt to detect encoding from selected outline and, if the detected outline encoding is different from the user selected outline encoding, a warning message appears.
