    • Movements while aligning laser are limited from 1 to 1000 micrometers
    • After the mapping is done, the probe is retracted by safety retract distance
    • After automatically maximising the signals (in the Prepare System workflow) the signals will be presented in different colours
    • Dragging is disabled in some parts of the the Calibrate Pixel Size workflow
    • No-go area is activated when the Mapping workflow starts
    • For running CAPA 4.0, .NET 5 must be installed (if not already present)
    • The probe is fully retracted when the wash is aborted (in the Head Nose Wash workflow)
    • If the wash tool is closed while a wash procedure is in progress, the wash procedure will be aborted (it will not run in the background)
    • New parameters are added (in the 3D Printing, 3D Calibration, Mapping workflows) and the parameters are split in: parameters and advanced parameters
    • The items from the postgres database will be transfered to a new XML database and deleted
