• Fixed a bug preventing the program from launching if it was not on the primary monitor the last time it was closed.
• Fixed a bug related to applying the proper smoothing parameters when a pose map is reloaded from a file.

xManager:

• Fixed file association so a double-click on a .dsx file will launch xManager.
• Fixed a bug that would give a false error message after a valid license activation.

CalibrateDSX:

• Added support for correcting xray images without performing uniformity correction.
• Fixed a bug related to a bad aspect ratio in the 2D windows when the trial data is asynchronous.
• Fixed a bug related to updating the applications when Edge Threshold or Centroid Threshold were changed.

Locate3D:

• Changed the behavior of graphs (scaling, selecting, etc.) to match the behavior of X4D graphs.
• Added support for Ctrl-click to force a POI at the clicked location.
• Fixed a bug that caused a crash if POI pose maps needed to be interpolated when applying an object pose.
• Computing object poses from POIs no longer interpolates POI pose maps to calculate poses for all reporting times.
• Fixed a bug related to a bad aspect ratio in the 2D windows when the trial data is asynchronous.
• Fixed a bug related to updating the applications when Edge Threshold or Centroid Threshold were changed.
• Fixed a bug related to the display of crosshairs for digitized POIs.

Surface3D:

• The voxel size in image files can now be overridden by specifying the size in the subject file.

X4D:

• Implemented generation of DRRs from surface models.
• DRR generation will happen on two GPUs if two GPUs are present.
• During an optimization, the DRRs in the 2D windows are now updated only when a new best pose is found (or when any user interaction causes a redraw event).
• Fixed a bug that was preventing DRRs from being generated for some TIFF CT image files.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when switching between tracked objects in a trial.
• The DSX Configuration and Mocap Model widgets are now disabled during an optimization.
• Save Dialogs: The choice of units is now saved in the file dialog when any file in which units are specified is written.
• “show mocap markers” no longer shows markers with empty names or names that start with “*”.

PlanDSX:

• Implemented generation of DRRs from surface models.
• Added trackball interaction for manipulating objects in the scene.
• Made several improvements to how configurations are saved and imported.

X4D:

• For x-ray files, can now read a folder of individual TIFFs instead of a single TIFF stack.
• “Local minima” poses are saved during bone tracking with ASA, and can be reviewed when tracking is complete (if the global minimum is not the correct pose).
• Added the “view_weighting” parameter so one view can be weighted more than the other during tracking.
• Fixed a bug related to initializing values in the Xray/DRR Settings widget.
• Added the option to linearly interpolate pose map splines.

Orient3D:

• Fixed the Miranda tibia LCS algorithm (sometimes the Y axis was backwards).
• Fixed several bugs involving saving of the LCS to the subject file.

CalibrateDSX:
