    Allow hit count after conditional breakpoint

    We currently support both conditional breakpoints and hit count BPs (i.e., if N-1 events hit a BP then break on Nth event). It would be nice to hit on a BP for a count after the initial conditional is met. Might often be just N=1, so break on the ...

    Currently calendar dates in Spotfire tabular data are received through a Data Function into Matlab as dates counted from 1/1/1960 rather than from the standard calendar starting point. This requires performing in the Matlab Data Function a convers...
