  - v2025.02.04
    - [New Feature] Individual Visual3D pipeline commands can now be passed directly to Sift via the command line interface.
    - [Enhancement] Sift's console application and command line interface now accept forward slashes as delimiters, in addition to dashes.
    - [Enhancement] Metric plots now show information for selected traces on the top layer and above the selected bar, increasing readability.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where commands passed on launch that contained a string parameter starting with a dash to fail.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where Mahalanobis Distance exports failed from the command line interface.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where Sift's RunV3D command would fail from the command line interface.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where selecting the "Yes to All" option for recalculating queries did not behave as intended.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where traces negated by a query were returned incorrectly.
  - v2025.01.08
    - [New Feature] Users can now compute summary metrics of loaded groups and save them to the respective workspace. Summary metrics are automatically queried and saved as a group in Sift.
    - [Enhancement] Statistical parametric mapping now allows users to perform one-sample and paired t-tests, and ANOVA tests. One vs. two-tailed statistical inferencing is also now available.
    - [Enhancement] The console application’s interface has been refined.
    - [Enhancement] The animation widget now displays model segments in line with Visual3D's animation feature.
    - [Enhancement] A UI hint for resize mechanism is now provided to the user when hovering over the widget resizing handle.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed an error where workspace means would not properly calculate for the specific case where a single C3D file contained both included and excluded traces.
    - [Bug fix] Fixed a bug where Directory Watchers could be deleted without being disabled.
    - [Bug fix] Several minor fixes to ensure that plotting styles are consistently and correctly applied across all plot types in the Explore Page.
    - [Bug fix] Ensured that regular CMZ libraries cannot be loaded as a Normal Database file, which would result in a crash.

    - [Enhancement] Added improvements in GPS usability.
    - [Bug Fix] Fixed a bug where running the V3D Engine with a normal database loaded caused loaded files to be corrupted.
  - v2024.10.11
    - [New Feature] Users can automatically generate .cmz workspaces for .bvh files output by Fujitsu's Human Motion Analytics technology through the CMZ builder.
