###Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.

#DFR planner is no longer an analysis in Xfmea but is now a separate project-level ''utility application'' available to all Synthesis applications.

###In V9, DFR plans were simpler and could be added to any item in the system hierarchy.
###The greatly expanded V10 DFR planner is no longer item-based but instead project-based.
###Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.

###Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.

#DFR planner is no longer an analysis in Xfmea but is now a separate project-level ''utility application'' available to all Synthesis applications.
##Conversion considerations:
###In V9, DFR plans were simpler and could be added to any item in the system hierarchy.
###The greatly expanded V10 DFR planner is no longer item-based but instead project-based.
###Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.

#DFR planner is no longer an analysis in Xfmea but is now a separate project-level ''utility application'' available to all Synthesis applications.
##Conversion considerations:
###In V9, DFR plans were simpler and could be added to any item in the system hierarchy.
###The greatly expanded V10 DFR planner is no longer item-based but instead project-based.
###Upon conversion of older files, and if more than one DFR planner is in the project, the plans will be merged into a single project-level DFR planner.

== Markov 10 {{Font|[NEW]|12|tahoma|italic|rgb(205,16,118)}} ==

#Apply Markov analysis.
#Implemented in the BlockSim/RENO interface as a new diagram type.
#Introduces two new diagram types:
## Discrete Markov: For creating and analyzing single or multi-phased diagrams with discrete transition probabilities.
## Continuous Markov: For creating and analyzing single or multi-phased diagrams with continuous distributions for transition probabilities.
