Hi,

A new version of the software Discourse Network Analyzer (DNA) is 
available.

Download: http://www.philipleifeld.de

New features and bugfixes:

- There is now a function which lets you navigate through within-actor 
contradictions. For example, if a politician uses a concept in a 
negative way in one article and uses the same concept in a positive way 
somewhere else, this is counted as a within-actor contradiction. This is 
useful for spotting coding inconsistencies or to identify learning 
behavior of actors.

- A new nodelist CSV file format for affiliation networks. This may help 
you to get an overview of the organizational affiliations of the persons 
in your data set.

- A regular expressions filter for the article import function. This 
makes importing or merging large amounts of data easier. Simply type in 
something like "NYT: ", and all New York Times articles will be 
preselected.

- Improvement: A progress bar was added to the import articles function.

- Bugfix: The import articles function sometimes imported the wrong 
articles. This has been fixed.

As always, the manual has also been updated.

Best,
Philip
