% New to WASL 10.6.2 - August 5, 2025
%
% [DONE]  - Update to core.loadnewTracing function. MATLAB changed two
% things that affected this function: 1) there is a new built-in class
% called "traces" which takes precedence over the variable that I use by
% the same name. The variable name in core.loadnewTracing was changed to
% "slurptraces". 2) structs no longer support brace indexing quite like

% [DONE] - Added log file output for 3D SLURP, and graceful skipping of bad frames.
% [DONE] - Corrected KYM figure limits to be appropriate, e.g. [1,C(4)]/scale(4) rather than [0,C(4)]/scale(4). Also double-checked DCM, MRI, MR2, and CTI.
% [DONE] - Made plugin for viewing super-resolution rotatable images with oblique slices, based on the current frame. Oblique slices currently must go through the center of the image.
% 
% **********************************************************************************************

% 
% Changes for future WASL versions
% 
% - When the kymogram type changes, the crosshairs and impoint in the kymogram do not update correctly. This is probably a simple fix within plugins.KYM.dispKym.
%

% [DONE] - Made minor changes to core.saveTraces and plugins.CLT.processCLT to allow command line accessibility.

% 
% **********************************************************************************************
% 
% Changes for WASL 8.91
% 
% [DONE] - Integrated 3D SLURP as the CLT plugin.  3D SLURP is Catherine Laporte's algorithm to automatically extract a 3D tongue surface from a volume. 3D SLURP does not (currently) track tongue motion. Each surface is segmented on the basis of its own, single ultrasound volume. Parameters of the algorithm are manipulable within the CLT plugin.
% 
% **********************************************************************************************

% 
% - For additional imaging modalities
%   - Allow loading multiple images together for registration and fusion (along the lines of WASL 9.1)
%   - Allow reading a 3D large "fake" TIFF file created by ImageJ, using MappedTensor and TIFFStack utilities
