Yes. But just update again with Help >> Download Prerelease to make sure you have the latest revision.

We have made some updates to the documentation here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/RenkoCharts.html#UniversalRenkoBars

Please review them.

The way that we are going to approach this, is comparison to the documentation and to what what makes sense. These are the only two definitive points of reference. We cannot guarantee, that you are going to see the same thing as a prior version and definitely we cannot guarantee that you will see the same thing as ninja. We do not want you to be insistent on either of these things. Otherwise, we have to discontinue support on this. So in the end, this is just what we have to offer unless we can see there is an inconsistency with the documentation.

Also at this point, we have confidence in what we are offering relative to the documentation. So at this point, there is no further work we will do and this is now considered finalized.

Understand that the Universal Renko bar implementation previously was not as thoroughly implemented as the new rebuild of Renko bars in the newer versions. All three Renko bar types now use a common code base.

What is the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Start Time set to? And do you have New Bar at Session Start enabled? We will then provide you an image of what we see.

Although this is what we currently see on 2017-10-16 (portion of day. US Eastern time.) using a Start Time of 0:00:00 and New Bar At Session Start:

It is also a good idea for you to set the Graph Draw Type to Candlesticks so that you can actually see the true Open and Close values so you can have an understanding of the manipulations be done with these types of bars. From our perspective these manipulations do not make any sense to begin with.
