6. A fit is now drawn offset correctly when drawn on offset channels with locked axes.
7. DlgChan()scr_DlgChan now sets the channel number to 0 if there are no channels in the field. Previously it would set it to 1 which could be confusing.

9. Fitted curves that have silly values no longer crash the system when an attempt to draw the fit is made.

4. Optional labels for states can now be set with the pulse configuration dialog. These are used in the buttons in the states control bar instead of the default names and will be used elsewhere in the future. The script language function SampleStateLabel$() has been added to give access to the state labels.
5. Support for auxiliary (external) states hardware has been added, this has been implemented for MagStim and CED 3304 stimulators initially. The script language functions SampleAuxStateParam() and SampleAuxStateValue() have been added to give access to auxiliary states hardware.
6. Added Floor() and Ceil() functions for values and arrays.
7. The MaxTime() and MinTime() script functions will both now take a channel number of zero to mean the overall frame limit.

1. It is no longer possible to set a colour which would make a cursor, an axis or data invisible. If you try, a visible colour is chosen for you.
2. Signal is now much friendlier to other applications when it is sampling and when idling with a script running. If you have an on-line script that depends on the previous behaviour you may need to change the settings in the Edit Preferences Scheduler. To emulate (not quite exactly) the previous settings, set all the fields to their minimum values (1, 0, 0). This is not recommended.
3. Buttons on toolbars created by scripts now take up less space.
4. In scripts, user dialog change & button functions are disabled while in the idle function.

2. A minor drawing artefact during on-line overdraw has been fixed.
3. Various edge effects in the drawing when using thick lines have been corrected.

9. ExportTextFormat() has been extended to allow interpolation to be specified.
10. FileExportAs() has been extended to allow exporting as bitmap.
11. IIR filtering has been added with new commands IIRBp, IIRBs, IIRHp, IIRLp, IIRNotch and IIRReson.

17. Renumbering cursors no longer causes Signal to loose track of cursor information.

Changes

1. Text views render much better when using print screen.
2. If a sampling configuration is loaded from a script while the allow% parameter prevents window position changes, Signal will now "allow" the configuration to set the position of sampling windows.
3. Frame lists are now stored as "specifications" rather than simple lists. This means for example that if you specify "Tagged frames" then subsequently tag a frame it will be added to the list used by Signal. Previously it would calculate the list on closing the dialog and not update it.
