- On platforms other than Windows, convert VAL files to XY by default.
- New detector model added to instrument configurator.
- Improved generic peak fitting: Linear modulation of coupled variables added.
- Show project status in project select dialog.
- Filter projects by name or status in project select dialog.
- Instantly apply offsets in Plot Options list.
Bug fixes
- Fixed crash in generic peak fitter due to race condition.
- Fixed crash when exporting curve fits of projects that don’t contain any curve fits.
- Dark mode on OS X was optimized.
5.7.05 Jun 2026
New features
- GUI translations added for DE and FR.
