- Corrected high DeltaE values when inspecting non-D50 profiles
- Camera name of EOS-5D Mark IV corrected for Capture One
- ICC profile info: imageInfo and jobData are in private tags now; exact version number (e.g. v5.1.2 b2377) in copyright tag
- DCP profile info: target and reference data in ‘targ’ tag and imageInfo and jobData are in private tags now
- improved calculation of the Art Repro profile, especially in the dark areas
- corrected translation's source text "proofing" to "profiling" on Intro title page
- add zoom in/out by <CMD> +/- key (Win <ctrl> +/- key)


Version 5.1.2 build 2377
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEW target: basICColor dcam mini target
- NEW target: CMP Digital Target 8
- added new reference files for basICColor scan and basICColor rescan targets
- if auto rotate should fail then open image unrotated
- force gray axis to be neutral when creating a scanner profile
- don't maintain white hue when making scanner profiles
- show alert when trying to save a new job with color temperature D65/StdA and non-spectral reference [INP-9]
- improved support for Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
- do not show illuminant and observer if the referenence is not spectral [INP-7]
- for multi target job allow primaries from the first target, only [INP-8]
- bugfix: corrected DCP profile name for Hasselblad
- bugfix: changing reference file was deselecting the target [INP-6]


Version 5.1.1 build 2336
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEW: added mechanism for dongle -3 recognition
- NEW: support Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
- corrected QA Slider value at minimum/maximum position
- corrected default neutral Delta-E threshold
- corrected changing the reference file for a multispectral Job (D65+Std.A)
- for multispectral job show alert when reference is not spectral
- remove characters not supported by Windows from the profile's file name
- smoother FilmCurve for Capture One images
- Capture One profiles are now in Lab ICC version 2
- revised manuals DE/EN


Version 5.1.0 build 2279
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEW: ICC Profiles for Capture One (Linear Response) from Raw Data
- NEW: DCP and ICC Profiles from CGATS text file created by RawDigger
- NEW: instead of an image also the basICColor ICC Profiles can be used for profiling (targ tag is extracted)
- NEW: Display the dE when our ICC Profile is opened
- NEW: Display the dE when a TIFF is opened with embedded ICC Profile
- NEW: Black Control Display in ColorChecker SG
- NEW: input 5 determines automatically what the correct rotation of the target is
- several bugfixes


Version 5.0.4 build 1729
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEW target: IT8.7/2 AGFA Chart
- NEW target: CMP Refcard Color Master
- added uniqueCameraModel, we extract that from DNGs and pass it to the dcp profile creation routine. This will make sure that the dcp profile shows up in ACR
- handle uniqueCameraModel in CopyConstructor of class Image
- handling Capture One names for Sony NEX & Alpha models plus Leica M
- different encoding with ICC version 2 Lab CLUTs for Capture One
- change of neutralization patches
- fixed licensing issue under Windows; sometimes permanent licenses won't be read from USB dongle
- fixed automatic reference file rotation
- bugfix: the names for Canon and Sony cameras will now always show up under the camera tab in Capture One.
- NOTE 1: We have the problem that especially with Hasselblad cameras there are combinations of camera backs and sensors that we do not have information about. That could lead to the dcp camera profile not showing up in Adobe Camera Raw because we put the wrong identification string in there. We are now extracting the UniqueCameraModel string from any DNG that is loaded, so if a user has this problem he can convert his Raw file to a DNG using Adobe’s DNG converter and create a profile from that. His profile will then also show up when he loads the Raw file in ACR directly.
- NOTE 2: We improved the profiles made for Capture One, the RGB neutralization gets done based on either the whitest patch or an average of white light control patches (ColorChecker SG). We encode the 3D Lut differently for better highlight performance.


Version 5.0.3 build 1708
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEW target: basICColor rescan
