It is mainly a bugfix release containing the following improvements:
New failure mode measures: Reserve Factor and Margin of Safety.
PCOMPG definitions in NASTRAN BDF files are now read correctly . The global plies are maintained within ComPoLyX and can be accessed for post-processing.
NASTRAN BDF files stored in the large format (16 character wide fields) are now handled correctly.
For NASTRAN F06 files, subcase and load factor can now be specified to choose the desired solution.
Nodal results loading has been improved for all formats to handle all kind of possible cases correctly (nodes missing, nodal results missing, components missing...).
Thanks to the new ComPoLyX.py start script, the installation does not depend on any global environment variables anymore.
From ComPoLyX 0.5.1 on, it will be possible to have multiple versions of ComPoLyX installed.

Puck failure criterion.
Ply groups are listed in the object tree.
