# Version 1.6.0
- This is potentially a save-changing release due to adding more data into the save file, renaming existing data, and changing what part of the code saves data. Please update your project files to ensure compatibility
- It is still possible to load older saves by enabling 'Incompatible Save Bypass' from the Preferences menu, but your mileage may vary
- Optimized calculations being performed when calculating the Heart Rate to speed up step 5 by up to ~35% on a per-file basis
- Optimized calculations being performed when running the General Linear Model to speed up step 5 by up to ~35% on a per-file basis
- The Group Stats Viewer windows will now properly load the Right/Left or Front/Back fallback ROIs if JSON_LOCATION is not set
- Changed the warning message for lots of short channels and changed when it shows to be percentage based (35%) instead of numerical based (6)
- Renames GENDER to SEX to better represent the values that the field expects and to be more BIDS compliant
- Changed the Assign Groups by AGE window to now be the Assign Groups by Metadata window and added support for grouping by other metadata values
- Added a new metadata value of HAND to allow for grouping participants based on their handiness
- Updated the layout of the participant metadata area to better accommodate current and future metadata values
- Updated the message displayed when "Why are these useful?" is clicked to better represent what the values are used for and to accommodate the new metadata values
- Changed the application title to now show what project you are working on. If you are not working on a project, it will display 'Untitled'
- Tracking of current save states is now present and an asterisk will now appear in the title bar when a project has not been saved
- Currently tracking is only supported on loaded files, parameters on the right side of the screen, and when processing has completed. Per-file metadata or processing stages are not currently implemented
- Clicking close on the Main Window will now properly close all sub windows when closing the application and closing the application with unsaved changes will now prompt to save a project or discard changes. Fixes [Issue 87](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/87)
- The Save button under the File menu no longer asks for a destination if a saved project was already loaded. Fixes [Issue 72](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/72)
- Added an icon to the 'Toggle Status Bar' view option
- Status bar visibility and window layout sizes are now stored between application sessions. Fixes [Issue 88](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/88)
- The popup that appeared when a project was saved has now been moved to a message displayed from the status bar
- Moved all loading of files, loading of folders, loading of projects, and saving of projects to a new file for easier future development
- Changed the working of some messages on the status bar to better reflect what has occurred
- Added a new terminal command 'assoc' to associate .flare files to the application. This is undergoing testing and may not function correctly.
- Removed the debug flag from the application package, which may speed up the application. Fixes [Issue 11](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/11)
- Fixed an issue where the two Group Stats Viewer windows would crash the application once attempted to be opened if JSON_LOCATION was not set
- Fixed an issue where participants could be skipped when processing multiple participants at once which could prevent overall processing from completing
- Fixed an issue where when loading a save file some list dropdowns could go blue and bold even if the value was default
- Fixed an issue where the Analysis button would not be clickable if the user had previously pushed Clear. Fixes [Issue 83](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/83)
- Fixed an issue where removing all files via their right click feature would cause the Process button to still be visible. Fixes [Issue 91](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/flares/issues/91)
- Fixed an issue where some popup windows would not properly display the application name when they would open
- Fixed an issue where the welcome dialog image would not display correctly on macOS
- Fixed an issue where the Linux version would fail at 0 seconds when attempting to process files
- Fixed an issue where fOLDing channels could cause the same channels to be repeated misaligning the labels
