The following Tedds functions have been updated to provide consistent behavior when comparing numbers with small differences between them:

• ‘Less than’ (LT) <

• ‘Greater than’ (GT) >

• ‘Less than or equal’ (LE) ≤

• ‘Greater than or equal’ (GE) ≥

• ‘Equality’ (EQ) ==

Previously, when comparing numbers with differences of less than 6 decimal places between them it was possible to get inconsistent results. For example < and == could both return true when comparing the same numbers due to inconsistent tolerances being used between them. These functions now use consistent tolerances so that contradictions between different functions can’t happen. All functions now use 13 decimal places for comparison, with any differences smaller than this treated as equal. This solution ensures minimal impact on the Tedds engineering library and user calculations. Extensive testing of the Tedds engineering library of calculations found no significant impact on the design results of any calculations.

Added Microsoft Word ‘Resiliency’ key for the Tedds for Word add-in to prevent the add-in from being disabled unintentionally.

The ‘Tedds for Word’ add-in is now added to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Resiliency\AddinList

This prevents the add-in from being unintentionally disabled if Microsoft Word crashes.

See this Microsoft documentation for more details about this setting.
