[CHANGED]
- Export of the table added again as a menu item
- Changed "Xmel" to "Xe,mel" for Circadian

* Settings for future measurements (left widget side) and the display of the measurement results (right side) are now independent
* In Radiance mode, the set Fov must necessarily correspond to the Fov of the calibration file, otherwise measurement will not be carried out
* The calculation and displayed values are based on the calibrated wavelength range of the selected measurement, no longer on the wavelength range of the currently connected device and also independent of the selected Calculation Range.
- Measurement mode Radiant Intensity:
* Distance query removed from the menu items "Options/Photometric units/SI Units" and "Options/Photometric units/Imperial units"
* When loading the saved measurements from SPC, CSV and Temp files, the distance is now read from the file.
- revised correction measurement with auxiliary lamp in Radiant Flux measuring mode and saving/loading of different correction spectra enabled
- Extended of the wavelength range to support NIR radiometers

- When answering the question about changing the measuring mode with "No", the menu, button labelling and setting of the measuring mode were not completely reset in some cases -> fixed
- When restoring unsaved measurements, the measurement mode was not checked. As a result, it could happen that measured values with different measuring modes were loaded and displayed in the wrong measuring mode. -> fixed

V6.16.0
[NEW]
- Export as PDF report
- Museum Lighting Damage - widget
- Color Difference Widget (CIE76, CIEDE2000)

- "Measuring mode"-drop-down-list appears only in offline mode. With device connected, the mode is displayed inside the "Measurement" button.
- Hazard: settings in the widget have influence only on subsequent measurements (not on previous; nothing is recalculated if settings are changed)
- Hazard: Now, Hazard is not calculated if some Spectral Weighting Function is loaded (to avoid confusion with double-applied weighting functions). If that's a case, a notice about it is shown in the Hazard-widget.
- Hazard: Options->Table - if Hazard is checked, Calibration File is also checked and dimmed to make it impossible to unckeck it.
[BUGFIX]
- Hazard: Maximum time in Retina Thermal Weak mode had no upper limit. -> fixed (now it is 28800 seconds = 8 hours, after what it gets the value of PositiveInfinity)
- PromptPopup (dialog to enter a string) had false behaviour: if input something and clicked with a mouse somewhere in the dialog, always the same event as after clicking on the "OK"-button has been fired. -> fixed
- Export of multiple measurements in .CSV could take long because of a bug in .CSV-exporting routine. -> fixed
- Calibrations which have zeroes could cause crash -> fixed
- Laser intensity has not been changed if applying focusing optics to a spectraval device. -> fixed
V6.14.3
[BUGFIX]

V6.14.1
[NEW]
- Import from SD-card - files are deselected in the list during operation.
- Import from SD-card - It is possible to cancel operation by closing of the progress bar.
[BUGFIX]
- Import from SD-card - opening of other windows or applications during import caused LiVal to look like a crash ("no response" etc.). -> fixed
V6.14.0
[NEW]
- 2 custom presets added

- Functions Ssc, Slc, Smc, Smel, Srh (circadian norm 2018), CIE1931 and CIE1964 x,y,z in distribution
- "ipRGC-Influenced Responses to Light" widget (5 curves; 5 corresponding values)
- History widget: view of total time

- Treating of adaption failure error in case of continuous mode. Creating of empty measurements marked red in the legend
[CHANGED]

[BUGFIX]
- Saving of a calibration to device didn't always work with boudrate=3000000. -> fixed
- If sensor mode is switched to "Sensor disabled" and then back to "Sensor active", a message box came that the measuring mode has been changed anyway. -> fixed
- In case of fixed-tint-measurements value of "adapted averages" was 0, what led to improper values in the table. -> fixed

V6.12.0
[NEW]
- Two widgets for L*u*v* color space: L*u*v* and sC*h.

- Capture: streaming of continuously measured spectra into a file for security with very long continuous measurement series.
- History-chart: possibility to click on some data point to jump to corresponding measurements in the legend.
- History-chart: x-axis can have sense of absolute time or of measurement number (switch).
- Offline mode: if there are no measurements and the user tries to open a reference file in another measuring mode than the current, the current measuring mode is automatically switched.
- Export of Sync.-frequency into the table and into the Excel.
- After exporting an Excel table, option to open the target directory.
- "Target"-button in the calibration panel.
[CHANGED]
- Batch operations with large amounts of data and the table are optimized: instead of allocating small memory blocks many times, one large block is allocated etc.; instead of adding always 1 column to the table, many columns are added with one operation. This increases the speed much: for example, it is possible to transfer 65000 measurements to the table within a reasonable time.
- Calculations of CRI and CQS values were performed for spectra with 5 nm step which consisted of every 5th value of original measured spectra (because calculations are defined for 5 nm step via standards). Now the spectra for CRI and CQS calculation consist of averages of 5 values of original spectra. This improves stability of calculation results.

- Loading of SPC - time localizing made timestamp false. -> fixed
- Tab-order in "Select Measurements to Be Saved"-window was wrong. -> fixed
- (usability): Options->RGB - it was impossible to switch between measurements in the legend of the main panel, what made using of "Get"-buttons very cumbersome. -> fixed
