    [fix] PsychBook no longer crashes when closing the warning window (double-click on warning in Notes list) while warnings are loading.
    [fix] An issue where hitting the cancel button for a client discharge could sometimes still go through with the discharge has been corrected.

    [fix] Pressing tab in the releases list of the client window now moves to the next column.

    [new] PsychBook now has a more redundant system when writing client records and discharge records in order to minimize problems with disc or system errors.
    [new] A claim option has been added in Insurers window to specify the insurance type (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.) this allows for PsychBook to better automate some differences in claim filing.
