This release adds a couple of much requested features:

Popout charts
All charts can now be popped out as separate windows: Right click them, and select "Popout chart" to get a copy of it. As a side effect of implementing this, the main window can now also contain multiple charts of the same type. Want a zoomed in version of an existing chart next to it? Now you can.

VSWR markers
Under Display setup, you now have the option of adding a number of VSWR markers, to be shown on both the S11 Smith chart, the S11 Return Loss chart, and obviously the S11 VSWR chart. The colour can be selected, and you can add however many you need. The markers are saved between startups.

Logarithmic frequency span
All frequency-dependent charts can now be changed to show logarithmic frequency span instead of linear. Right click, select Frequency axis, and choose linear or logarithmic.

Shortcuts
You can now start a new sweep by pressing Ctrl-W, or stop a sweep by pressing Escape while within the main window.

Line thickness and point size
Line thickness and point size can now be configured within the Display setup window. Default values are 1 pixel for lines, 2 pixels for data points.

Additionally, there are minor changes, such as -60 dB points being automatically estimated from -10 dB and -20 dB points when doing filter analysis, and a number of bugfixes and stability improvements.

I look forward to hearing your feedback on the software, and I hope you enjoy using it!
