Yes if Andrey implements the preference to turn off the boost you can have exactly what you want. I used this thread to find the problem in the first place.
And yes IMO the case you refer to was incorrectly selecting the wrong formula because of the changes that resulted from the addition of null dates. It worked but not optimally IMO. The docs you refer to really document REV 1.5 of the algorithm They will be updated when REV 3.0 gets put in; such it the world of docs; no one notice that null dates meant updating that. The old code was highly optimized compound if branchs very fast but hard to read. The new stuff needs to handle more cases and is now a case statement with other optimization to get the speed back. It's now REALLY obvious which branch algorithm is getting used. This should prevent future changes from have really hard to locate logic bombs. It's not my day job and I'm super busy but I think the 6 hours of work I did on it yesterday should leave use in a good place for a while. In the end I'm a volunteer and the CSA is something I'm responsible for and Andrey graciously puts in MLO for me. The Hierarchal method is his. I've always said blame me if you don't like it I'll do what I can when I can to improve it but the delays will be long. The last 3 years have been crazy and I suspect in the future I can be more responsive.
