- Turned off the ability to rename files in file browsers, which proved to more annoying than helpful.
- Can now save (command-S) WritableHeader format images, instead of always having to use Save As. Command-line programs can now use plugins that implement ReadableHeader. For example, convert2nii can convert to NIFTI any format it can read, including ReadableHeader plugins.

- Added Atlas interface to the plugin classes. Four methods: loadAtlas(), getLabel(), getOptionsPanel(), and getName(). Removed built-in support for the Talairach Daemon labels and instead made a class that implements Atlas.
- ROI and analysis tools now operate on the currently selected image in the image stack (shown in the toolbar) instead of always operating on the base image: for example, if an overlay is selected, creating an ROI using Threshold to ROI will make an ROI based on the overlay; if Use Smart Tools is selected and the current image is an overlay, painting an ROI over a thresholded overlay will snap it to the shape of the overlay; if an overlay is selected and Histogram is run, the resulting data will be from the overlay volume.
- Save As can now reslice in temporal dimension.
- Make Statistical Image from Time-series now has "Group" option (e.g., a time-series of a 180 images can be made into a time-series of 90 images by grouping and taking the mean of every 2 consecutive images).
- Added ability to open, overlay, and refresh images from the command-line: command-line program communicates with an open instance of the application; if application is not open, command-line program launches it with the images to open as arguments.
- Added "Data Scales" and "Data Intercepts" to Open Raw Image: these fields can either be filled in with a number (global data scale or intercept) or a file reference (scale or intercept per line for each slice in the volume or time-series).
- Added "File Size" to Image Info.
- Added "Check for Update" in Preferences with options to check automatically (once, on start up) or to check manually only; removed "Center of Rotation" option in Preferences: pressing shift before dragging a transform rotation slider will rotate about the center of array space, otherwise rotations are about the crosshairs intersection.
- Added Current Overlay and All Overlays to the View menu: if neither option is selected, all overlays will be hidden.
