NEW: UltraScan III version 4.0! Versions beyond 2600 take advantage of 1-second-interval TimeState information from the new Optima AUC ultracentrifuge to achieve greater accuracy in finite element modeling; and add other important enhancements (read the announcement). The recommended version is now v4.0, Release >= 5800.
Minor revision numbers (e.g., 2600) had been based on subversion repository revision. They are now based on GitHub revision (e.g., 5800).
There is a recent change in Instrument Configuration that relates particularly to database instances where the lab includes one or more Optimas. In the past, configuration was on a per-user basis. Now, the Optima and other instrument configurations are in the database and are on a per-instance basis. From revision 2625 on, users may need to reconfigure lab instruments, including Optima Host(s), via the desktop Preferences -> Instrument Preferences dialog.
