- eliminate slow start-up caused by a large RegiStar.ini file.
Build 9360, May 26, 2021: a patch to:

newer cameras (e.g. .cr3 files) can be read
(more);
- add a “default” Bayer-array option to Open commands and raw-parameters files;
- move an image out of its multimember group in case of a .rsm mismatch;
- display longer file names in some dialogs;
- display a greater number of images in the Combine dialog;
- report color multipliers in Properties and FITS headers for raw-to-nonraw output; and
- separate groups in the RegiStar.ini file with blank lines.

- initialize dialogs including an open or save operation with the most recent directory;
- allow the Open dialog to handle a much larger number of files;
- repair functionality of “Preferences > New images > Raw input to non-raw output”;
- allow dark frames to be subtracted from master flats;
- provide an option to not overwrite existing files in a Save All command;
- ensure that the active image is displayed in the Groups Manager;
- repair a crash that could occur on open of a very large FITS file;
- ignore the special image itself in a “Preprocess > Images in folder” command; and
- implement automatic update checking when an evaluation RegiStar session starts.
Build 9307, Apr. 3, 2021: a patch to:
- repair a glitch in the flat fielding of raw images introduced in build 9294; and
- repair: raw images could, rarely, render as completely black when being viewed as Gray.
Build 9294, Mar. 20, 2021: a patch to:
- repair the numerical gamma field in the Display Control dialog;
- repair the Display Control dialog for raw images being viewed as Gray;
- improve entry of display parameters via numerical fields in the Display Control dialog;
- restore missing fields in the FITS header;
- improve the color balance of bright pixels in raw images; and
- implement automatic update checking when a licensed RegiStar session starts.
