Upgrade Notes
Note
Some UI will be repositioned when upgrading.
With version 0.3.0 bringing support for multiple active charts and dockable UI some layout options were simplified or removed and the default layout has changed. When upgrading you may experience some layout changes to the mini map, density graph, dark background, and waveform. You will also experience some UI windows move to new default docked positions. After upgrading, all of these elements can be freely repositioned.
