Right-click on data to exclude/include and change
class of plotted items.
Confidence ellipses around classes (via View/Classes/Connect

needs to be unzoomed - leave other axis as-is).
Selection of points in 3D plots and other previously
unsupported formats.
Automatic y-scale of data puts all selected items
on a normalized y-scale for ease of viewing.
Right-click on y-axis menu option to automatically
choose (and plot) all items in the list that are in a given class.
Improved help while using selection tools.
Preprocess
Enable resizing of window.
Improved plot display and updating.
Figbrowser
Added Auto Dock menu item. When enabled, user figures
are automatically "docked" in Figures window. Allows all-figures-in-one-window
interface.
General
Many GUIs now allow for double-clicking to get
default behavior (see Preprocess and Analysis GUIs)
CaltransferGUI
New GUI to simplify calibration transfer operations
using a single interface (see also the new caltransfer function)
Wafer Digestor
New GUI to pre-processes semiconductor wafer (or
similar batch-type) data for MPCA or Summary-PCA analysis. Steps
user through the selection of how to break the data down into batches
/ wafers and specifying the type of output needed by the user.

DataSet Object Changes
Classid: Classes can now be assigned and returned
as strings. You can access a "lookup table" of class numbers
and their respective strings through the DataSet Editor. These strings

plotting interfaces.
