Key features additions include search functionality in the +App dialog, an updated user interface with new icons in the app launcher, updated sidebar and tabs views simplifying navigation, and a fresh icon suite. Our primary application, DataRecorder now respects the preferred unit of a sensor measurement when charting in DataAnalyzer and Launchpad application allows for the editing of custom dashboards.

We’ve also made numerous bug fixes and smaller improvements. These include enhancements to the network settings dialog, automatic detection of wireless devices with an N series gateway, improved data retention for N series connections, and increased reliability in password resets and account registration. The DataAnalyzer now better supports zoom scaling, and the mass manage logging dialog in DataRecorder has been refined. Additional fixes ensure consistent reading in systems with frequent writes, improved charting speed in DataAnalyzer, accurate DB configurations, and enhanced unicode character support.
