    • Configure a safe pinmap with no outputs before and after creating Runner objects.
    • GetChainRunner could fail when called on an AnalyserProject that was previously created from a RunnerProject.
    • Add some new Runner LabVIEW examples, covering the new GetResultsFromTest method, retrieving test output and results via events and handling XJEase MESSAGEBOX and INPUTBOX calls.
    • Various improvements to the LabVIEW examples.
    • Improve the LabWindows example and add full support for the XJDemo3 and XJDemo4 projects.
  • SPEA:
    • Support constant pins via flying probe.
    • Add a configurable delay after each flying probe movement.
  • Takaya:
    • Support constant pins via flying probe.
  • Connection Test:
    • Improve output when debug level not set to All.
    • If logic setup fails, still warn about uncategorised devices.
    • Ensure that the JTAG chain is always scanned when needed when driving from ICT.
    • Do not expect diffterm shorts on logic.
    • Fix the display of links to pins on linked nets in error output in XJRunner.
  • XJEase:
    • Better control over default pin values using new SET_DEFAULT_OVERRIDE and RESET_DEFAULT_OVERRIDE functions.
    • Remove extraneous JTAG resets on the first JTAG access after running CHECKCHAIN.
    • Allow a wider range of names for busses including ‘K’ and ‘M’.
    • Allow reads inside HOLDOFF blocks.
    • Ensure that PIN_VOLTAGE and PIN_FREQUENCY are always processed in order relative to JTAG and PIO accesses.
    • Check XJModules for compatibility.
    • Improve how XJModules with multiple code files are built, so that LOCAL scopes work correctly.
    • Require XJEaseDoc comments to have precisely three slashes: was allowing any odd number greater than two.
    • Improve the resolution of the NOW function.
  • Logic:
    • If multiple open-collector/emitter logic outputs are on a net, drive just one of them to set the net.
    • Try and detect the situation where the logic is too tangled to run earlier, rather than continuing on and running out of memory.
  • Project Files:
    • Only store library file metadata in the files in which the files are referenced.
    • Allow all board data to be saved to the board file.
    • Save built-in or preset pin mappings to the project pin mapping file in full rather than just by name.
    • Ensure that items in projects are always saved in a well-defined order.
    • Move some volatile settings from the .xjd file to the .settings file.
    • Prevent project files being corrupted if the application crashes while writing the file.
  • XJLink2:
    • Fix pin frequency measurements with low bank voltages below 1.8 V.
  • Remove command-line idcodes utility.
  • Help:
    • Highlight matching terms in documents after a search.
    • User Guide: Add power nets and passive devices.
    • User Guide: XJIntegration.
