New Features in BladeGen 11.0:

Improved over/under-filed blades
Supports longer filing lengths
Removed extrapolation of meanline to prevent
pressure/suction curves from crossing; the result is that
an over-filed, cut-off blade may be shorter than the
original
Cut-off blades imported by BladeEditor should be
unaffected by the extrapolation change
Improved TurboGrid export

Additional information about the blade (surface lofting)
sent to TG through the .inf file
Proper .curve point markers for cut-off and square edged
blades
