· A new display-only column 'Frequency Multiple' and an additional validation check on save have been introduced to Anti-harmonic Bases.
· Graphs, Harmonics, Anti-harmonics, Anti-harmonic Bases and Variations have a new color scheme, and their finder dialogs have a new slider control 'Axis detail level'.
· Axis labels now have a grey, semi-transparent background to improve their readability whilst not totally obscuring the data.
· Rendering of Anti-harmonic and Anti-harmonic Bases has been improved.
· A bug in the XML import of 'Keep intermediate file' flags has been fixed.

· Toolbar buttons and search buttons have redesigned icons. The Sequence button is now topmost/leftmost in the toolbar (depending on its orientation).
· General improvements have been made to dialogs. "Help on the web" and About dialogs are now modeless, and have been redesigned.

December 8th, 2008· Improvements in the handling of volume changes for Repetition Groups, including introduction of new field 'Cumulative volume'. Installer/Uninstaller improvements.
September 27th, 2008· Tooltips for boxes in Edit view have been introduced.
· Finder and system info dialogs now remember their size and location on screen.
· 'Default use MIDI pitch numbers' configuration check box now defaults to checked, ie MIDI pitch numbers is now the default scheme.
· 'Show' check boxes on finder dialogs now default to checked.
· Fixed bug in scrollbar activation for Sequence and Sound properties, that could result in the bottom property 'Keep intermediate file' being awkward to access.
August 25th, 2008· This version uses double precision numbers in the database throughout, requiring a database upgrade script to be run if upgrading from a prior version. Selection of sequence boxes, chord group boxes etc is now done with a single mouse button press. A bug which caused graph, harmonic and other dialogs to go into the background on pressing the Save button has been fixed.
May 23rd, 2008· This version fixes a bug introduced in 2.5.0, whereby attempting to display graphs, harmonics and other non-text entities in a finder dialog resulted in the dialog 'hanging'. A problem with the installer build, which resulted in the installer being significantly larger than it should be, has also been fixed.
May 12th, 2008· Implements pitch views using a fast fourier transform algorithm, and amplitude views using root mean square calculations. Track zero channel limits are now possible. The 'simple reps' function now allows volume adjustments, leading to reverb/echo effects on sounds. Also in this version are new menu functions for opening/listing tracks, and getting Kangas Sound Editor help on the web.
