-Using CAPRI requires extensive knowledge of how the system works. Please look out for CAPRI training courses on the page of upcoming events. The following bare-bone instructions may nevertheless be sufficient to get the system up and technically running.
+STAR 2 and earlier releases are published with a full set of data, i.e. including all the intermediate data required to build the complete database and produce a calibrated baseline. The model with raw data and the consolidated model database are shipped in two compressed archives. For STAR 2.7, they are called "STAR_2.7.zip" and "results_2.7.zip" respectively, and with similar naming pattern for other releases. Follow the steps below in order to install CAPRI on your system. Using CAPRI requires extensive knowledge of how the system works.

-  - Create an installation folder to hold **model source files** on your local hard drive such that the path does not contain spaces. Thus, it will not work to install the model in “My Documents” (path containing space) or on a network drive (the access will be too slow).
-  - Extract the files of the compressed archive (or checkout from SVN) into the folder you just created.

-  - Go to the subfolder GUI, double-click “start_capri.bat”. That should open the graphical user interface (GUI). If not, something is wrong with your Java-installation.

+Most importantly, the dairy market should now be linked with the supply models, and the new feed version is used by default. Other minor issues below:
+  * Priors missing in GHG emission trend estimation now exist (again?)
+  * The fallback structure for missing nutrient balance data in West Balkan and Turkey taken over from Trunk.
+  * Import surge of cheese in market baseline prevented by adjusted bounds widening. This problem does not seem to exist in trunk.
+  * FAOSTAT bug fixed (exportGUI task failed)
