v7.0 [Jan 31, 2012]
Powerful New Projection Parameters
Version 7 redefines "best neural pattern" from "first/longest neural pattern" to "strongest neural pattern".
Version 6 had only one Neural Analysis Engine: a three-sectored pool temperature, which searched for patterns for hot, cold and non-hot/non-cold numbers. Version 7 allows you to analyze the pool temperature from two to five sectors.
A new neural analysis engine is available: Parity (even/odd), in two sectors.
A new neural analysis engine is available: Distribution (high/low), from two to five sectors.
You can now select the sampling size, which varies according to number of past drawings in the database.
You can select the starting date for the analysis ("Scope"); version 6 insisted on using the entire dataset.
Maximum neural depth for registered users has been increased from 32 to 128.
Eight new rejection filters to reject skewed suggestions.
Nine new limitation filters to ensure suggestions meet statistical uniformity.
Limitation filters can be limited from one to three standard deviations.
Improved Suggestion Generation
Separate, adjustable threading for the generation process. In other words, while generating suggestions, you can do other things within Lotto Sorcerer.
Much faster suggestion generation.
"Deep analysis" option.
Virtual Lotteries
The concept of virtual lotteries lets you combine separate lotteries into a single virtual lottery. For example, if you have a midday Pick 4 and and evening Pick 4, you can combine both of these lotteries into a single lottery.
Powerful New Playslip Printing Features
Playslip configuration improved from 2 x 6 to 12 x 12.
You can now setup "special" marks. For examples, some playslips require you to check whether you want an evening or midday play. You can enter these into your playslip setting. At print time, you will be able to select which marks you want selected.
The ability to override playslip settings, making Lotto Sorcerer a true universal playslip printer.
Mark types increased from just rectangular and oval (as in Lotto Sorcerer v6) to Xs, checkmarks, horizontal and vertical lines.
The option to choose the thickness of the marks (for Xs, checkmarks, horizontal and vertical lines).
Improved, straightforward Playslip Setup Wizard.
Playslip Setup Wizard previews tickets with special colors for different types of marks.
Lotto Sorcerer v6 could not differentiate between playslips for the same lottery for different states. Lotto Sorcerer v7 can differentiate.
The ability to tweak printing at print time.
The ability to print Pick playslips (pick 3 through pick 8).
Tools (Calculator and Converters) to help you in the Playslip Setup Wizard.
380+ built-in playslip definitions.
Wheels
The number of wheels has more than doubled from 3,000 to 7,000.
More Utilities
Database browser.
Boolean calculator: allows the combination of decimal entries.
Proofreader: uses voice synthesis to read numbers out loud.
Window menu: shows (and lets you select) windows that Lotto Sorcerer has open.
Improved Interface
A new calendar control shows scheduled drawings days, current day and selected day.
Calendar can show extraneous days (days in preceding/following months).
User can select starting day of week.
A new date control.
Web scraping feature lets you copy lottery drawings from web pages for quick entry into Lotto Sorcerer.
Improved Help System.
User can keep minor informative alerts from appearing.

Robustness
Lotto Sorcerer v7 has built-in error compensation. For example, analyzing a lottery with past drawings outside of current parameters should no longer yield invalid results.

Lotto Sorcerer is designed for future expansion, especially in regards to adding new neural search engines.
Lotto Sorcerer v7 is designed for future localization in other languages.
Designed for future incorporation of online redundancy.
