NEW
• Toggle individual Personal List chart visibilities in Case & Patient Lists

• Operations & Surgeons Chart items may be overlaid if they had the same name but a different Speciality - FIXED

- Let me know if this is still happening to you.

- This was mostly an issue on macOS

May 16, 2023
Fixed an issue on PDF exports where the grey inexplicably became paler!
8.7.1
Apr 20, 2023
FIXES
• Margins displaying incorrectly
- some devices running iOS 16 after screen rotation
• Patient names reverting to previous values
- seen when editing the name of an existing Patient on the Edit Case screen
• Weights & heights would revert to their previous values
- seen after changing them and then navigating away from the Edit Case screen (eg. to select items)
• Improved logic for height & weights
- when editing a Patient's height/weight it will ONLY affect the current or most recent Case
- changing a Patient's height & weight in an earlier case will change the biometrics for that Case only
- this will allow you to see how the same patient's weight varies across cases (like comorbidities)

8.6.2
Dec 10, 2022
Fixed a little bug when drilling down to Cases via the Chart context menus. The previous & next buttons wouldn't refresh the data correctly.
For example, if you were viewing 'All Specialties' for 2022 and clicked on one to view those Cases for that Specialty in 2022, clicking the next/previous buttons would result in ALL Cases for that Speciality appearing instead of Cases just for the year shown.
