1.4.4
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
Application start is now faster
Quality control in solar radiation
The added option to copy flags from GHI and RHI to ALB.
When TRC QS status is missing, it is now possible to run automatic quality control. Be aware that automatic quality control assumes that data do not have any significant time shifts and are in UTC-0 time zone
The Demo project can be opened directly from the main menu under the Project section.
Added ground cover ratio into GTI configuration in the metadata editor.
PDF report
Added GTI configuration table.
Added Meteo data statistics and heat maps.
Improved quality control summary messages, new messages have more information about which automatic tests were running on a dataset.
The summary field supports line breaks, so text can be formatted into multiple lines for better readability.
Added inactive quality control status icons, to better see all existing quality control statuses.
Improved data availability graph, which also shows smaller gaps between data.
Generated XLSX file: QA short results sheet calculates statistics from all existing flags.
In TRC
graphs data point transparency is calculated based on a number of data points, for better graph readability when visualizing a large amount of data.
Removed dataset dropdown. TRC always opens the selected dataset on the main screen.
Post filtering
Added quality control status.
Moved to the last position in the main menu, to follow user workflow.
Unit conversion
Added conversion between from J/m2 or J/cm2 to W/m2 or Wh/m2.
CSV export with full header was extended with GTI configuration.
Multiple small usability improvements and various bug fixes.

Extended GTI configuration in metadata to specify tracker mountings systems
Extended definition of test groups for automatic quality control in solar radiation
Added dataset validation and automatic correction of invalid GTI configuration and test groups in main window
New content in PDF reports:
Quality control summary table
Test groups table
Consistency plots
New Demo dataset with GTI measurements
IMPROVEMENTS:
Optimization of PDF report processing
Improved usability while importing flags from other dataset (part of Interactive QC and Interactive QC Advanced)
BUG FIXES:
Various bug fixes
1.4.2
NEW FEATURES:
Support of GTI measurements with fixed mounting
Time reference check (TRC)

Automated detection of parameter type for solar radiation columns
New database is automatically created with project
Export project functionality - package with databases and project
Pre-set color palettes for graphs
Polygon selector in Interactive QC and Interactive QC Advanced* (in heatmaps only)
Instrument dialog for adding new instruments
Database optimization function - release blocked space after removing of datasets from database
IMPROVEMENTS:
Improved database structure
Improvements in PDF reports
Added option for custom user text for Quality assessment summary
Added option for saving graphs as PNG file
Selection of columns to export in Export CSV
Radiation Advanced stabilisation, optimisation and improved UX
Postfiltering allowed for all solar radiation parameters
Extended list of instruments for solar radiation parameters and meteorological parameters
Terminology updates
BUG FIXES:
Various bug fixes
1.4.1
NEW FEATURES:
Obsolete Win 32bit installer. Now building Win 64bit only (aka. Win amd64)
Robust license login window (robust type of license check)
Using PySide6 (and Qt6 engine)
IMPROVEMENTS:
Radiation advanced:
Adjusted graphs
Improved modal dialogs
Possibility to flag columns without having them displayed
Settings were added
Possibility to rescale graph
Added p90 filter
Improved mask selection
Possibility to flag data before/without automatic detection
BUG FIXES:
Dots fix when values under cursor is on in Time Series dialog along with added horizontal/vertical lines
Fixed toolbar names
Bug fix in heatmap plot in Quality report. In specific conditions, heatmap plot was not shown
Monthly averages graphs now does not take in account aggregation set in aggregation combo box
Fixed computation of valid points when aggregating non-irradiance data
Bug fix when exporting dataset as PVsyst standard format
