[NEW]

• Grayscale color scheme option for charts & diagrams so your graphs are still easy to understand after being printed in black and white.

[IMPROVED]

• Improved display of Japanese text in the Japanese interface on macOS Catalina. The characters are now smoother and easier to read.
• Improved text search workflow in the 4-window interface: After closing and re-opening the search feature, the last search item is displayed and already selected so you can edit it right away.
• Improved tooltip information for cluster icon tooltips in a Code Matrix Browser currently set to “Count hits per document only once” or “Binarize view”. The tooltip now includes the total number of coded segments/documents as well as the frequencies for the selected setting.
• Improved tooltip design for Document Map tooltips for clusters with more than 20 documents. The list is cut off after 20 items so you can still see the code information.
• Improved design for drop-down menus and text fields in several places, including the Memo Manager toolbar and the List of Document Variables.
• Improved time marker display in the Multimedia Browser. Start and end time markers are now placed to the side so they can no longer overlap when coding very short timeframes.
• Improved recognition of special characters (e.g. different types of bullet points) while analyzing Word Frequencies in the MAXDictio module. These characters are now ignored.
• Improved recognition of spacing between paragraphs while importing data from DOCX documents and recognition of math symbols that are embedded as vector graphics while importing documents from HTML.
• Improved performance while automatically coding search results in very large project files and for displaying word frequency analysis results from a Word Cloud. Both actions are now much quicker.
• Improved import of literature data from Endnote. The import now includes the “Research Notes” entries.
• Improved handling of author and creation date information when importing codes from a code system or via teamwork import. When importing a code system, the current user and time are added to the data. When importing or merging teamwork, the original user and time information remains untouched.
• Improved handling of variable data from a spreadsheet where multiple variable names are longer than the recognized character limit. Users are now notified to modify the variable names before importing.
• Improved display of curved connection lines in MAXMaps when multiple lines are displayed very close to each other. Each line is now visible and easy to distinguish.
• (COVID-19 related) Improved connection stability for users connected to a network license, especially for those using an unstable VPN connection while working from home.
