2. Open Telemac BK 3.12.20-beta installer announcement, upcoming new feature announcement(s) and some current installer fault notices
   - https://www.opentelemac.org/index.php/kunena/blue-kenue/14803-bk-3-12-20-beta

Improvements:
1. For Tools > Calculator... and a selected 2D T3 mesh object
   - The default selected combo box value is now the object's currently selected attribute
   - The new multi-frame result can now be either 4-byte or 8-byte on disk
   - The attribute value for the result in the new multi-frame result can now be integer, 4-byte or 8-byte in memory
   - The 2D T3 calculator will now copy the result back to the new multi-frame object's attribute much faster (when it is a double attribute)
   - NOTE: the best performance will likely be obtained with 8-byte float on disk and in memory
2. Allow the value of an invalid start date coming from a SLF file header to change to something that is valid
   - A new query dialog will be displayed
   - See: https://www.opentelemac.org/index.php/kunena/blue-kenue/14803-bk-3-12-20-beta#45191
3. Display more text in a popup for both the first column and the popup as a whole
4. Improved progress message when an invalid start date is encountered in a SLF file header and a load WARNING is present

Bug fixes:
1. Tools > Calculator... not working for multi-frame 2D T3 Meshes
2. Edit > Select Item... not working for 2D T3 Meshes
3. 2D T3 Scalar not correctly written to a BINARY file
4. A temporal object should also check the start time during activation
5. Remove previously added "Not Required" string for temporal attributes that do not require a deltaT
   - Leave as original behaviour of returning "Variable"
   - Perhaps reconsider this improvement again in the future
6. Remove previously added double precision file default and moved to respective subclasses
   - Hard to test the full impact of this change
7. Only set a distribution's X units if they are not empty in order to avoid overwriting the possibly already existing units
8. Ensure that an XY Data Object has the Y attribute selected by default
   - And therefore, by inheritance, a Distribution object too
9. Fixed a few small bugs in operations on time series; including:
   - All Observations > Sample Histogram
   - All Observations > Empirical Histogram
   - All Observations > Duration Curve
   - All Observations > Linear Fit Series - added 3 pieces of missing metadata
     1. "Y-intercept"
     2. "Slope"
     3. "R"
10. Edit > Select Item... now working again

Internal changes:
1. Added improved handling for the case when a 2D object does not have a Z attribute
   - min/max/range and Z scale
2. Added additional data checks when:
   1. drawing a cartesian grid in a 2D View
   2. computing min/max X and Y in a 2D Extent
   3. growing a 2D Extent to cover a particular X or Y value
3. Add checking code for when a node cannot be retrieved when drawing a T3 2D scalar mesh
4. Added some more runtime messages when in debugging mode to help more quickly track down invalid situations
5. Call SetDeltaTIsRequired(.) when scanning Selafin 2D Scalar/Vector and 3D Scalar/Vector files
6. Only call IsNoDataValueAt(.) when IsNoDataValueEnabled() is true

Improvements:
1. Added "Extract Volume Distribution" to 3D Tetra Scalar Mesh popup
