> -----------------
> 1. ASCII parser: Better handling of "faulty data". Shows the offending rows/column entry to the user and allows the user to skip rows that are faulty and load the rest of the rows.
> 2. Projection plot: Multiple enhancements including:
> a) Projection plot can now be launched from the main launcher independent of a scatter plot.
> b) The user can specify the step length along Longitude and Latitude axes.
> c) It is now possible to enter the co-ordinates directly in Long-Lat if available.
> d) It is now possible to change the main title of the plot.
> e) It is now possible to change the colors, sizes etc of points from inside plot properties --> advanced tab.
> f) In case of overlays, it is now possible to insert text showing the meaning of different overlays/symbols.
> 3. Automatic plotting of first one/two/three columns (as relevant) upon launching a new plot window.
> 4. Cone search: The user has the option of using either AND/OR logic while performing multi-word searching for the catalog to be used for cone search. Results in more relevant search results.
> 5. Density plot now has an option for showing the co-ordinate grid.
> 6. 2D histogram now supports the classic "outline" histogram format. It is called "outline" and is now the default histogram type used. In this format there is no gap in the bars plotted between the adjacent bins avoiding any confusion.
> 7. A fully updated user guide is being released bundled with v1.7.

>
> 1. Cone search from selected point was not working if the file did not have UCD info. This has now been fixed.
> 2. ASCII parser: INT datatype was being detected as byte. This has now been fixed.
> 3. Clicking the "show table" button from the launcher now shows the selected table not the first table.
> 4. SAMP related bug has been fixed.
> 5. Right click menu now works properly (It was disabled in v1.6Beta).
> 6. 2D Histogram: The up-down button for changing the bin width now increments/decrements the bin width by the last significant digit displayed. Earlier it was applying a flat +/-0.1.
> 7. 3D histogram had a dop down menu for X, Y as well as Z axes. This was extrneous as only 2 axes are requred for plotting a 3D histogram. This has now been fixed.
> 8. In surface plot, the rearrangement of column drop down boxes as X, Z and Y was confusing as Z is the dependent variable Z(X,Y). This has now been fixed and the columns are listed as X,Y,Z.
> 9. ASCII parser: While loading a CSV/ASCII file the language that is used while prompting the user for information has been modified for greater clarity.
> 10. When the last VOTable is closed, it's metadata was still visible on the launcher. This has now been fixed.
> 11. Icons are now larger in size. Also some icons have been replaced for clarity.
