Users can now enter --splashscreen PATH into the command line interface if they want to have a custom image displayed on the welcome screen instead of the default image. Simply replace “PATH” with the file path to the custom image. Example: --splashscreen /path/to/custom_splash.png. Image file specification recommendations:

• Image size: (3352 x 1932) px
• Background: Transparent
• Format: PNG

• The layout has been rearranged to minimize unnecessary empty spaces. This is most noticeable for long history comments, i.e. texts that span several lines.
• The editor no longer opens automatically when a version is selected.
• The editor is now opened/closed by double-clicking on the row or by single-clicking on the expand/collapse icon ( ).
• The expand icon is now displayed for single-line commends that exceed the width of the screen.

• In the past, after editing a component with an external editor, the handle used in the edit window still referenced the old blob. The new blob was not assigned to the component until clicking Apply.
• Now a newly derived (and transient) copy is created, which already references the new blob and has the original component as a predecessor. With this handle in the selection, a history comment improvement script is able to generate a comment that includes details about the actual changes.

This feature relates to the rail graph within the pool version area. In the past, users were only able see the rail graph or the filter area by default. That means, they normally could not see the filters and the rail graph at the same time. If users wanted to change this default behavior, then they needed to add filter_in_rail_graph_view to the --features starting argument. This has been improved. The feature is now enabled by default, meaning that users can access it without entering anything into the command line interface.

This improvement relates to the pool version area. Specifically, it relates to its appearance when the rail graph is not displayed. In the past, the most recent 200 versions were displayed in the view. This has been changed. Now the view displays the versions directly above and below the selected version.

Example: pool version 1455 is selected in the image. The pool version area now displays the versions directly above and below it (e.g. 1454 and lower, and 1456 and higher). This enables users to quickly compare and explore different versions that are in close proximity to the selected version, without them necessarily being related by ancestry or descendant relationships.
