1.3 BPIF CD Version
[NEW FEATURES]
- New full colour bar strip available. Can be read either singlely or as a strip. Designed to step and repeat across a whole press sheet, and replace any existing colour bar.
- Density Range shown on main window. Shows the minimum and maximum density range that is within the primary E tolerance.
Added ISO 12647-2:2007 (2004 Amd 1) as a standard. These have updated Overprint Lab values, and a slightly adjusted L value for yellow on paper types 1 & 2
- Added the ability to measure a strip in spot mode.
- Single measure mode Features:
   - Displays Lab, LCh, density for any given reading.
   - Measuring dot area.
   - Apply dryback to individual solid measurements and see Lab and E values.
   - Visually see colour differences on screen between any Lab values.
- Colour List. All measurements are available for use in the pressSIGN chart, so you can combine a several separate measurements into a single strip for calculation
- Mac version - uses monitor profile for more accurate previews on screen.
- PDF dot gain information page as job information and score included.
- 
[FIXES]
- Estimated cyan and black density when very low
- Hue changes in dryback for angles which change from near 360 to near 0

- Web press coated paper setting has been renamed as lightweight woodfree coated paper type 3
- Selecting paper types automatically sets the recommended TVI curves for CMY & K

[FIXES]
- Changing density filter on a Mac now works (Used to get a unable to set density filter error)
- CMYK primary scoring method is checked correctly when creating a new scoring system.

- Press standards can imported and exported.
- Redesigned the PDF layout

[FIXES]
- Pass / Fail message in PDF when not checking overprint Lab values fixed.
- Improved Ink adjustment algorithm
- Improved estimated density if the ink density is too high.

1.0.6
[FIXES]
- Disappearing Main Window

1.0.5
[FIXES]
- Resolved 'Error Setting Compatibility in document scope' error
- Windows - Overprint Lab tolerances in PDF are reported correctly.

It should be much easier to pass the 75% grey balance patch.
