Notes in chronological work order; latest first.


VERSION 2.4.2
Removed "Inc.", added "a Novanta Company" where appropriate.


VERSION 2.4.1
Fixed bug where BMPload didn't wait long enough for the reply to the *CEXT
command for large files (e.g. about 8meg or larger).


VERSION 2.4.0
Released with firmware version 1.5.0


VERSION 2.3.6
Fixed bug that deleted ":label" text from calls to macros that also had other
macro name(s) passed as parameters. Also fixes instances of "macro:label" that
were not getting translated into macro numbers (this ended up not being a fatal
issue because the firmware also can map names to numbers, but this causes slower
execution). This change may cause the reported *CEXT value to change for the same
set of macros/bitmaps/fonts.


VERSION 2.3.5
Fixed problem that occurs when previously-defined font file is removed,
leaving a bogus record in the downloaded image.


VERSION 2.3.4
Cleaned up GUI layout to incorporate design items from SLCDM version.
Added display of CRC value.
Added ability to move/select within list of BMP files with arrow keys,
General BMP list navigation cleanup/fixes.
