[Enhancement] Improved logging of V3D pipelines ran from the Sift Command Line.

[Bug fix] Fixed a bug causing V3D Default folders to be inaccessible from the V3D engine when run from Sift.

[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.

[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.

[New Feature] Allow users to set one or more directories to be “watched” when a file is added or removed from a watched directory a list of v3s pipelines and or bat scripts will be executed

[New Feature] Gait Deviation Index (GDI) added to Gait Score suite.

[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.

[Enhancement] Sift's command line console application now allows aliasing as a command.

[Enhancement] Improved GPS dialog and Normal Database connection.

[Bug Fix] Plot highlighting bug fixes throughout application.

[Bug Fix] Duplicating queries no longer adds extra conditions.

[Enhancement] Users can now leverage the Sift Normal database feature to generate a reference dataset for Gait Profile Score (GPS)

[Enhancement] Application wide changes to speed up analysis 50% decrease in response time across multiple pages.

[Enhancement] Queries with different data rates can be matched with each other if they represent the same event sequence.

[Enhancement] Updated Active Plots to ensure they are more distinguishable from other plots

[Bug Fix] Fixed bug preventing group data styles from being saved with project

[Bug Fix] Fixed bug where plot axes could not be edited.

[Bug Fix] Fixed bug where SPM module crashed if loaded with data that all included unknown data.

[Bug Fix] Fixed bug causing plot bounds to be slightly too small.

[Enhancement] Allow Sift to be run on command line.

[Enhancement] Introduced Normal Database file, allowing for quick summaries and comparisons from large conrol groups.

[Bug Fix] Fixed bug where events captured at different rates was not recognized as the same event.

[Bug Fix] Corrected an issue with licensing where a failure to activate on the first attempt would prevent subsequent activation attempts.

[Bug Fix] Resolved a couple of issues related to the OpenGL animation features: first, loaded project files are now animated properly; and second, object files have been more robustly linked.

[Enhancement] Implemented Squared Prediciton Error (SPE) to run in conjunction with Mahalanobis Distance Test for PCA outlier detection.

[Enhancement] Added ability to export to text for all PCA outlier detection/QA tests (K-means, LOF, Mahalanobis Distance, and SPE).

[Enhancement] Updated the Show Animation and Show Video dialogs to auto-populate with the Explore page's selected trace(s) when possible.

[Enhancement] Added ability to exports results from the active PCA calculation or from all PCA calculations when exporting to text.

[Enhancement] Significant computational speed-up for calculating PCA using individual traces (instead of workspace means).

[Bug Fix] Fixed case where changing group selections in the PC Reconstruction plot could cause the application to crash.

[Bug Fix] Fixed case where missing LOF density scores could cause a crash when displaying the Workspace Scores plot.

[Bug Fix] Resolved issue preventing Metric-Metric plot jitter values from being cleared when reset graph was selected from the context menu.
