Newsletter no.1 - September 2026
 

 
 


A new software version, SmartDots 5.0, has been released.
New features include:


- Brightness and contrast can now be set more precise.


- Improved imaged handling to give a smoother user experience.


- Ability to set the scale for a reader, this setting is managed in the SmartDots web application.


- A sample can be deleted, this setting is managed in the SmartDots web application.


- Annotations can be deleted in bulk.


- A new dot-type is available (when allowed in the settings): discussion marker. This marker does not stick on the reading line. Also, the marker does not count as age-counter.


- Upgraded the framework used for the user interface to be update and more secure (some components look slightly different).


- Bugfix: clear the previous opened image when opening an event with no samples.


- Changed behavior when returning to the event list from the age reading, maturity or larvae and sample modules. The event list does not reload automatically anymore. This results in a smoother UI experience but the user now must reload the event manually when desired.



Best regards
