We are happy to announce the first update for PLOCalc. Initial feedback is very encouraging and the changes are mainly based on it fixing some missing functionality, responsiveness of the interface and adding a nice feature. Here is the list of changes:

1. Range syntax in the range selector changed when it comes to connector syntax. Now we are using G symbol for it, for example GGGG means 4 cards in a row (AKQJ, 9876 etc.) while GG_GG is two cards in a row, gap, 2 cards (JT87 for example). You can add any number of gaps, for example G_G_G__G if you want. It's also possible to combine this syntax with ranks. For example [A-8]G stands for AK, KQ, QJ... 87. Or for more complicated example: AK & ([9-]G, [9-]_G) means AK and then card 9 or lower with a connector or one gapper (AK98, AK75, AK42 etc.). This is a breaking change which means old ranges don't load. We hope to be able to avoid breaking the syntax in the future as we realize it's very annoying. The decision was made to add powerful functionality which wouldn't be possible otherwise. PLOCalc is still in early release. We hope the change is not very annoying for the users.
2. You may now load other ranges within range definition (popularly called macros). Just use $ syntax, for example $broadways (if you have broadways defined). See range examples included in the distribution. This allows for composing ranges out of other ranges easily.
3. Equity graphs: 1)You can now hover over it to see which hand is at given point in a graph 2)You can mark part of the graph to select hands in that part 3)You can show parts of the range on a graph, for example mark all hands with 8-12 outs
4. There is now a way to split hand categories (quads/fullhouse/flush etc.) by number of outs to flush/straights or don't split at all. This allows for various levels of details when analyzing the range.
5. Performance improvements and bugfixes: one noticeable one is that scrolling should be now very smooth as some users experienced problems with it.

Here is a short video demonstrating the features above:

We try to get things right which sometimes takes some trial and error. As advanced PLO tools are a new territory it's especially important for us that we are getting very constructive feedback from our first users during this early period. Thank you very much for that!
