In this release, I added a new method for client creation - skip conditionally. In this search method, clients will ONLY be automatically created if there are zero client matches with the same UNHCR number. If, on the other hand, there are some clients with the same UNHCR number (but the client name doesn't match any existing in RIPS), a client record will not be created - the user will have to manually deal with this client record.

This reason this new setting was creased is because client name matching is pretty difficult. Misspelled names, or names with "abd" in front, or "al" / "el" make name matching pretty inconsistent. Therefore, instead of creating client records often (when the program can't exactly match a client's name), we will rely on the human user to decide if a new client record is needed.
