Relabel buttons: "Guess" is now "Auto configure" in tip dates panel. "+" button on priors panel is now "+ Add Prior".
More sensible default date value for taxa without date specified in tip dates panel.
Make sure the appropriate tree is used in MRCAprior.
Make sure tips with 'fixed' distributions imported from Nexus do not get estimated.
Robustify NEXUS parser.
Taxa could be duplicated in taxon list in NexusParser.
Prevent accidentally cloning of up-down-all operator in StarBeast.
