• adds RoastLog profile importer (Issue #471)
• adds IKAWA v3 CSV file importer
• adds import support for new Aillio Bullet R1 JSON format (Issue #508)
• adds font options "Source Han Sans" offering CN, TW, KR, JP character sets and "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" offering CN and TW character sets (Issue #493)
• adds sliders Bernoulli mode to emit values respecting Bernoulli's gas law translating non-linear between gas flow (slider values) and gas pressure (gas valve). See the corresponding discussion on home-barista.com.
• adds input filter to interpolate duplicate readings that may disturb the RoR computation
• adds support for the artisan platform dynamic blend replacements
• adds additional date and time fields to autosave
• adds ET and BT rate-of-rise to special events annotations
• adds post roast update for symbolic ET and BT values in the profile
• adds option to hide '--' untyped special events
• adds second set of settings for Phidget TMP1200 RTD modules allowing to run different types of RTDs (eg. PT100 and PT1000) in parallel
• adds support for the Phidget TMP1000 Ambient Temperature sensor
• adds VOUT Command range to set the voltage range of the Phidget voltage output modules (Issue #472)
• adds support for WebSocket communication
• adds S7 support to read booleans and the S7 Commands actions setDBbool(<dbnumber>,<start>,<index>,<value>) and getDBbool(<dbnumber>,<start>,<index>)
• adds S7 Command msetDBint to write Integers to S7 registers using masks
• adds S7 help page
• adds S7 scanner
• adds MODBUS and S7 decoding of Floats as Integers

Changes

• new RoR computation method based on linear polyfits (PR #503 by PDWest) and "optimized" variant based on the Savitzky-Golay filter for display after recording
• do not propagate error values -1 to the full formula if the full formula is enclosed in parentheses
• allows three digits following [q,w,e,r] special event shortcut when the corresponding slider max value is greater than 100. Be aware that when this is true three digits must be entered so a leading zero is required for values less than 100.
• changes Windows keyboard shortcut to remove background curve to CTRL+SHIFT+h
• updates GUI libs (Qt/PyQt/Matplotlib)
• updates Brazilian and Greek translations
• updated Chinese translations (PR #491 & PR #494 by wuyi-ligux)
• extends CSV batch reports by some additional fields
• respects Delta ET/BT symbolic formulas in Roast Properties data table
• aligns z-order of RoR curves to their LCD order
• images are saved with opaque borders when the canvas color is not set
• save image for Home-Barista increased to 1200px wide

Fixes

• ensures that Roasted Density value (in Roast Properties) does reset on new roasts if "Delete roast properties on RESET" is ticked (Issue #470)
• prevents removal of line artists that have already been deleted on switching the crosslines off (Issue #473)
• ensure that flags position cache is cleared on reset before loading a new profile (Issue #474)
• fixes Hottop 2k+ communication boken in the macOS build of artisan scope v2.4 (Issue #475)
• fixes regression that calculated axis limits automatically on incomplete profiles while recording on leaving the Axis dialog (Issue #476)
• ensures that normal saves respect the autosave path for extra files (JSON, PDF,..) (Issue #480)
• allow to enter super-user mode with a simple left-click on the timer LCD as right-clicks are not available on touch screens (Issue #481)
• fixes a regression that prevented some roasts not to be successfully uploaded to the artisan platform in rare cases related to Fahrenheit conversion
• ensures that autosave profiles get synced to the artisan platform in any case
• fixes special event annotations will show when there is no DROP event
• fixes plotting specialevents >100 while recording in step modes
• makes the Comparator compatible to profiles created by legacy versions of artisan scope
• fixes a rare redraw problem in Comparator mode which result in curves being only partially visible
• improves stability of serial communication with serial meters like the Center304/309/..
• fixes crash on multiple event button actions (Issue #504)
• prevents saving NaN annotation and flag coordinates in profiles (Issue #505)
• fixes Transposer crash (Issue #506)
• fixes palette loading from .apal files
