The vocabulary database included with the WordPal Vocabulary Builder program was updated to fix a crash that could occur when playing the antonym quiz on the 1.16 version. The problem occurred because two of the new word topics that included antonyms did not have an antonym topic specified. To prevent this from ever occurring again, the vocabulary database creator program that is used in-house was updated to automatically detect this. Besides the above, the Internet links in the vocabulary database that no longer pointed to a valid web page were updated. The corrected vocabulary database is dated October 16, 2007.
