  • Loop Calculation Report
    • Added application version number to footer to help diagnose calculation changes across different applications
  • Panel Location Naming
    • User can now add a custom name or location to a panel added to a project, via the panel properties pane. Helps the user to identify which panel is which in large multi-panel projects, where each panel is likely the same model number.
    • Can now set length to first and last device, for more accurate result.
