[Download-List] How To Retrieve The Record Number For A Multivalued Field

Hi David,

I believe this is the entire release notes for 8.0:

Version 8.00
* Bug fix (CSV format with multiple MV.ORIENTATION VERTICAL fields
* Add support for invoking a "csv to xlsx" routine

The jump from 7.42 to to 8.0 seems to indicate a big release, but perhaps
not. Could you clarify if there were additional behind the scenes changes?

Thanks,

David
