4.a List of Main Bugs Fixed Since V6.2.1 B4910 Release
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Case 148518: update of cube-shaped power density averaging 
algorithm to follow latest standard trends. New version addresses 
noisy sPD patterns for some triangulated evaluation surfaces.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
4.b List of Main Bugs Fixed Since V6.2.0 Release
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Case 99123: Name correction of one of the Table Viewers into 
List Viewer
- Case 99429: Fix the issue with the mesh viewer of GRAD and P-FLOW
