Thanks for that link Rufus. Until you posted that link I could never figured out how to check for the latest version of Dynamic. :)

I now have that link bookmarked. Funny thing If I go to directly through their site I cannot get there. It's like they have it hidden someplace.

4.4
- Added more advanced setting for RAW images - Auto Developer. This will adjust the input RAW images such way so the produced tonemapped output will be now much closer to the fast preview. There were issues previously when on large files the TM full output would become muddy or would loose brilliance.

4.32

+ Plug-in: added support for Adobe Photoshop CS4 (32-bit)
+ Plug-in: added support for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0
* Plug-in: improved installer compatibility with localized versions of Photoshop

* Plug-in: improved behavior of the plug-in in smart filters in Photoshop CS4 and CS3

* Improved metadata compatibility with Nikon D90, D300, D700, D3, D60, and several more new Nikon cameras
* Improved metadata compatibility with older Nikon DSLR cameras
* Improved metadata compatibility with Nikon D1X with new firmware

* An image sent to Neat Image standalone via "Send To", "Open With" or drag-n-drop to Neat Image icon will now open either in Filtration Queue or Filtration Job Editor depending on the "Auto create new job on startup" setting in Neat Image options

* Improved functionality of "Save Output As" for multiple output images being saved in Filtration Queue (both automatic and manual saving of individual images is now available)

* Cosmetic improvements in the Batch Profiler, Profile Converter, Profile Viewer

Ver 1.1, update via Oly Studio or Master

Items Fixed or changed-

1.)
Enabled use of the Image Stabilization function with non-Four Thirds System interchangeable lenses by inputting a specific focal length.

2.)
Matched the rotation of the dial on the rear of the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 and the movement direction of the AF target.

3.)
Increased the number of storable still pictures by improving the battery check when the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 is attached.

4.)
Focusing now stops immediately when the AF start button (AEL/AFL or Fn button) is released.

5.)
Corrected the phenomenon where the flash control caused an under exposure while using bounce flash at short distances with the FL-50R or FL-36R Electronic Flash.

6.)
Improved selection and prioritization of the central 5 ranging points when shooting in C-AF mode and Dynamic-single Target mode.

Interesting that now, you can use non 4/3 lenses and still use IS, via a custom menu option. [att=1]

I can't explain the date other than a typo. Biggest change I notice is the saving of EXIF data. Previously, I was using a command line tool to copy it over (very tedious).
Other features:

* Simplified output path logic - output path defaults to the path of the input path.
* Added 'System profile' option to read display ICC profile from the X display. Based on code from Gimp.
* Do not read/write display ICC profile from/to ID files.
* Show camera white balance in EXIF page. Patch by Erik Burrows.
* Automatically fit histograms to allocated height.
* Read Canon lens from EXIF data. Patch by Andreas Steinel.
* Improved PPG interpolation. Patch by Alain Desbiolles.
* Remember maximized state of window between sessions.
* Add color smoothing option to all interpolation. Based on patch by alexander melkozerov. AHD+smoothing is exactly the same as the now obsolete EAHD.
* Added darkframe to GUI (patch by Bruce Guenter).
* Darkframe subtraction also handles hot pixels (patch by Bruce Guenter).
* Show spot values only if spot is selected and allow unselecting spot values.
* Add FITS output. Patch by Andreas Steinel. This option is disabled by default.
* Progressive JPEG encoding. Patch by Bruce Guenter.
* Blink over/under exposure in preview. Patch by Bruce Guenter.
* Enable --output option for stand-alone tool. It forces the output filename to the value specified. It is useful for F-Spot. Patch by Stephane Delcroix.
* Reimplemented the EXIF page. Patch by Andrew Zabolotny.
* Display flash mode in EXIF page.
* Moved shrink/size controls from Save dialog to main window.
* Added delete button to stand-alone tool.
* Added 'send to Gimp' option to stand-alone tool.
* Made the save-as button an icon only, to save space.
* Added option to save as PNG 8 or 16 bits.
* Write EXIF data to PNG files. Based on code from DigiKam.
* Added aspect ratio control. Patch by Andrew Zabolotny.
* New Spanish translation by Enrique Jorreto Ledesma.
* New Polish translation by Tomasz Golinski.
* New Korean translation by Homin Lee.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19464941 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:24:14 EDT Re: The Software update thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19453328 SND2005 : ACR 4.3

* Apply luminosity curve and saturation corrections in LCH(ab) space.
* Add the '--embedded-image' option to ufraw-batch for reading the embedded preview image in raw files.
* Use the above code in the Gimp plug-in for a much quicker generation of the preview thumbnails.
* Add mime types to recognize raw files in the Gnome desktop.
* Add schemas to generate thumbnails for these mime types.
* Modify the desktop entry to associate ufraw with these mime types.
* If 'save ID' is set to 'never again' then .ufrawrc is not written after each processed image.
* Add a 'Cancel' button to the 'Options' window.
* Fix compatibility issues with GTK+ 2.10.
* When handling ID files save output image in same directory as ID file.

Photoshop Lightroom beta 4.1 was posted on 10/19/2006 in order to resolve some issues with the original beta 4 build. The following bugs were fixed:

* There was an issue where a user could not edit a metadata field after editing it for another picture which has been fixed.
* The preview cache was using wrong relative path.
* There were a couple fixes in the database update feature, fixing a few situations where the database would not update properly. Also, upgraded libraries would not always allow images to be moved between shoots.
* There was an problem selecting an existing folder for web galleries. The web gallery would move all images previously in the folder to the trash silently. This has been fixed. All contents of directory where a web gallery is saved are sent to the trash with no warning. Also in web, large exported galleries will now have all the images expected.
* The app had a couple unexpected failures canceling dialogs. Selecting cancel on the Enter Password dialog now reliably works, as does selecting cancel in Page Setup.
* The shoot selection should no longer change unexpectedly.
* The "Additional External Editor" preference and the "Edit in Photoshop" preference are now separate.
* If you had mixed managed photos and by reference files, the paths of by reference files would be changed when changing the location of the managed folder.
* Images exported with Constrain Pixels would produce the wrong result for portrait-oriented images .
* There are some changes in the relationship between Luminance and Saturation.

V1.00 in the Sony A100 camera would occasionally create a somewhat corrupt raw file. It would open up in the Sony Software, but not ACR V3.4 or V3.5, nor would it open up in Lightroom B3.

The fix for this is two-fold:

First, ACR V3.6 now reads these files now.
Second, so does Lightroom B4.

Thirdly, ever since the V1.02 Sony A100 firmware, I was not able to create a Raw file that ACR V3.4 or V3.5 could not read!!!
