command history when the program is run. - Add file-history list to File menu for the EZScript Editor
- Bug fix: when more than two vert or horiz markers were present, with at least one delta marker,
and an attempt was made to remove a marker, there existed a chance that the program would freeze - Added dmarker command allowing you to add delta-markers from the command-line or EZScripts
- You can now change the colors and weights of markers by right-clicking on them and chosing the

for cases when the x-axis column was set to 0
1.1.2
- Bug fix: norm command was not working with arguments (ie. it was only working when the command
was issued with no arguments, and used all defaults) - Added "history" command. Used to display or clear the command history.
Type "help history" for details. - Added cmd:exit to live plotter remote control commands to close (exit) EZL
- Fixed bug where the program would sometimes freeze when changing the scale to log. This would occur

- Added Done/Cancel buttons to label edit windows
1.3.0
- Bug fix: program would crash if marker table overlapped footnote but not legend

from outside of EZL would be ignored for pastes to EZL. This has been fixed. - Marker text labels can now be grabbed (by holding down the left mouse button) and relocated (dragged)
- Verical marker labels are now protected against being pushed off the right side of the page
- Improvements have been made to the -regex plotting option.
Now when plotting, it is easy to exclude lines from your data files when the lines contain certain
words or phrases, or any unwanted text.
Example: ezl -f my_file.dat -regex ^((?!comment).)*$
will ignore all lines containing the word "comment"
Example: ezl -f my_file.dat" -regex ^((?![a-zA-Z]).)*$
will ignore all lines containing any characters a through z, or A through Z - Improvements made to arrow interface: Toolsets->Annotations->Add Arrow will now always add a new arrow
instead of just the initial one. The Arrow Table is now not shown by default. Right-click any arrow
on the plotter to customize the arrow (displays the arrow table). - Bug fix: when moving/copying curves from one plot to another (by right-clicking on a plot), the
move/copy dialog box would sometimes incorrectly show the available tabs. Fixed.

relative app path is read-only. - Added rotl (rotate-left) and rotr (rotate-right) commands
- Bug fix: Fixed issue where fft plots would not display the results when 0-valued power points
were returned from the fft operation.
1.4.0
- Bug fix (major): delta-markers have not been working since 1.0.9. Their tags would show correct
difference values when first placed, but would not dynamically adjust to changes in marker positions.
Why didn't you guys tell me!! This issue has been fixed. - On move/copy curve, title, x-axis label, and y-axis label are now alos copied when the destination
plotter is newly created. - Wget (network plotting) now works for file:urls.
- In plot label designer, keyboard shortcuts for accept and cancel changed to Ctrl+Return and
Esc, respectively. - "Toolboxes" are now called "Toolsets" to prevent confusion with Matlab(TM) toolboxes of the same name.
- Fixed broken toolset buttons: title, x-axis, y-axis, footnote
- Bug fix (minor): fixed issue where filenames beginning with 'n' would cause a linebreak in the plot
title. This was due to the fact that "\n" is used to create linebreaks in EZL labels. - Added "detrend" option to poly command.
1.4.1
- Bug fix (major): A bug found its way in, in 1.4.0, causing "-x 0" or -t/-d/-dt options to fail
- Bug fix (minor): sub-second timestamps were begin truncated on ASCII time parsing. Thanks to Andrew Wright
for the bug submission. - Bug fix (minor): WGet panel port number (with Show Transfer Details enabled) was not staying fixed during
address changes. This has been fixed and will now only change to a default value when the protocol changes.
Thanks to Andrew Wright for the bug submission.

produced via poly functions - Added "legend" command which can be used to set the legend entries' text.
The legend can now be updated through the command window or in EZScripts, in addition to the previous
method (clicking on legend items with the mouse). - Added "View Image" option to menu when right-clicking on an image file in the Directory Browser.
Double-clicking on an image in the Directory Browser has the same effect.

not move properly to the destination. This has been fixed. - Now, when logx/logy plots are moved/copied, the destination plot will automatically change to logx/log, if
the destination is empty before the move/copy operation. Otherwise, it will remain in whichever states it
previously held. - Bug fix (minor): When performing large operations (ex. FFT on millions of data points), the "Please Wait"
message would not properly appear. This has been fixed. - Added bar command to enable/disable bar plot style via the Command Window (or EZScripts)
- Improved barfloor command by adding "auto". The command will now echo its current value if no params are given
- Improved poly functions by iteration
- Added "Hide all panels"/"Restore panels" to View menu
- Bug fix (minor): Fixed issue where log x/y scales could sometimes be too large.

not update properly. - Improved functionality of WGet panel when following live files.
- Bug fix (major): Fixed bug causing crash when a file is deleted externally from the directory currently set
in the Directory Browser. - Bug fix (major): Fixed licensing issue
2.6.0
- New Feature: Added new "sleep" command.
- Recent files list in File menu of the script editor is now updated when new scripts are saved, instead of
only when scripts are loaded. - Bug fix (minor): Fixed bug causing curves to be inadvertently replaced when appending new curves to a plot
after first removing old (existing) curves. For example, if two curves were plotted (c1 and c2) and c1 was
removed, then two new curves were appended to the plot, the two new curves would take the spots of c1 and c2.
In this case, taking the c1 spot is correct (since it was previous freed when c1 was removed), but replacing
curve c2 was not intended. This has been fixed. - Bug fix (major): Fixed bug causing an application crash when browsing to a directory containing a cloud drive.
- Changed default font sizes for the title, x-axis, and y-axis texts.
