Major changes

This is a major release; if I would use traditional version numbers, this would be 2.0.0. The main change is the updated vision algorithm, allowing unlimited number of vision algorithms, filtering the acceptable result candidates for size and distance etc. There are also numerous bug fixes and smaller improvements.

Breaking changes:

The old vision algorithms are not imported. Please take a screenshot of your existing setups (or just redo them, it is easy).

The Z height calibration needs to be redone.

Documentation!

Unlike the previous version, this has full documentation here:

...will it take all the settings from the recent beta(s)? ...or must they be redone?

Yes, it will. There are not many changes from the betas, just a few bug fixes.

Does the new software have the ability to adjust the placement location based upon the vision results of the component to be placed? My results today suggest that any offset measured in X and Y seem to be compensated, but in A (angular error) does not seem to be removed.

Apparently, not with all placement methods. The A error did not have a meaning in the old methods that relied on hole recognition. We can now target parts directly in measurements, but the A error doesn't propagate to the placement as it should. This will be fixed soon, of course.
