Changelog

Upcoming

Currently implementing

• [All] update to trigger system: support for external trigger mode, as well as pulse and timeout. (working in our lab, but major changes in firmware require more time for decent software support)
• [Android] Fix battery draining while suspended
• [All] Make sure "Normal" UI size fits by using a lower DPI than system reports. (especially useful on small screens with high DPI, where "normal" can become rather large)
• [All] Change slideable V/div labels to picking wheels

Implemented in the betas (download from our package repository!)
