From the version history page:

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed discrepancy between Source Image Overlay and Map(s) palette

  • Fixed missing Power Law with Offset fit output message

  • Fixed broken Compute Sliced Mean, SDV and CV Plots

  • Fixed color scale and parameter range update when changing the displayed parameter map

  • Fixed Image Information box in Source Image and Phasor Plot

  • Fixed Sliced Analysis Dialog to uncheck “Use Data Min/Max”

  • Fixed limited range of “Min Decay Percentile” un Fit Options (was 0-1, now 0-100)

  • Fixed bug in lifetime uncertainty calculation

  • Fixed bug in offset uncertainty output

  • Fixed Histogram Dialog display bug

• New Features

  • Added Lifetime Variance Analysis to Decay Fit Parameter Map (Delta SDV, Delta CV, F-Test Significance, Chi^2-test Significance)

  • Added Parameter Map panel (currently limited to Lifetime Variance Analysis Maps)

  • Added (X, Y, I) display for Decay Fit Parameter Map and Parameter Map

  • Added True Pixel Value indicator in the Source Image and Phasor Plot panels

  • Added option to compute sliced analysis with fixed number of elements per slice

  • Changed Local Decay Window axis names to Intensity, IRF and Other Parameter

  • Associated Fit and Residual plots in the Local Decay Window to the Intensity axis

  • Added Rectangle ROI to Decay Fit Parameter Map and Parameter Map displays to allow zooming (with Alt key modifier)

  • Added 1-Exponential & 2-Exponentials models to the Lifetime & Other Parameters fit models

  • Added support for Parameter vs Intensity, Parameter 2 vs Parameter 1 and Parameter Scatterplots computed on a different set of ROIS than those used during fitting

  • Added optional plot of CI curves in decay fits

  • Added parameter uncertainties to the Local Decay Window output

  • Added bootstrap estimation of the CV(tau)’s SDV

  • Added option to compute intensity-weighted phasor plot and phasor graph as well as Lifetime & Other Parameters graph

  • Added Intensity-weighted Phasor option in the Phasor Graph Settings panel (linked to the identical option in the Phasor Plot panel

  • Added option to compute Normalized Weighted Histogram (where the sum of all bins is equal to that of the unweighted histogram)

  • Added saving/loading of Decay Sum array in Decay Fit Parameter Map data

  • Added reordering of fitted lifetime so that tau_1 < tau_2

  • Added Residuals Unbiased Normalized ACF display and statistics in Local Decay Window

  • Added “Apply Decay Fit Result Constraints” menu item to Decay Fit Parameter Map to compute Scatterplots on a subset of the decay fit outputs

  • Reintroduced non-native tip strip for graph objects
