HLM2:

  1. Weighted HGLM (non-linear) model terminated prematurely in some cases.
  2. Various multiple imputation problems (Note that the problem where the averaged output is nonsensical when one or more of the sub-analyses failed will not be fixed until version 7).
  3. A problem in the hcm2 chi-squares for the random effects has been identified and fixed.

HLM3:

  1. Weighted HGLM (non-linear) model terminated prematurely in some cases.
  2. Improvement to design weights.
  3. ASCII/SAS residual file format problem.
