Change log of important builds/deployed versions. Last deployed and used version is 2.3.0.7.

Later versions carry development towards version 3, which is eventually part of [[040_versions|mab2mm]].

Version 2.5.1.4 on 12.02.2023
  * preparing for MM calculation, creative and diagnostic modes
  * test data from the lab show different non-idealities than those implemented in diagnostic modes
  * more modular resource management in ResourceRepo

Version 2.5.0.7 on 11.12.2022
  * realized that this is a major rewrite, marked as version 2.5
  * going further towards Command pattern with SmallAction definition
  * separated FlowControl and MachineRoom from Engine
  * more work on diagnostic modes for polarizer analyzer and detector

Version 2.3.2.7 on 07.11.2022
  * resource management with ResourceWorkers
  * command-like pattern queueing processing steps
  * work on str-tru compensator diagnostics as UNCS

Version 2.3.1.4 on 22.10.2022
  * CalibRceEngine as LabApps device (TSoftwareDevice)
  * runs FileWorkers in threads

**Version 2.3.0.7** on 14.10.2022
  * last deployed version as CalibRCE
  * adds support for B field and rotation metadata
  * UI changes along newly developed mab2pd2

  * NCS export
  * added LabLISP environment, but no API integration

Version 2.3.0.0 on 07.05.2019
  * only version number increase, is based on QBerr 2.3
  * compiled static in Qt 5.9.1, minGW 5.2

  * averages Psi and Delta
  * calibration calculates sum of squares between back-calculated alpha beta coefficients

Version 2.0.1.4 on 02.09.2015
  * first deployed version based on QBerr 2.0 (Qt/C++)
  * averages calculated ellipsometric ratio rho
  * corrects for Po, Co, Ao offsets but does not optimize
  * includes str-tru RCE properties diagnostics

Version 1.0.0.0 in 2006
  * series of non-versioned builds
  * written in Delphi/Pascal
  * based on analytic solution of the calibration problem, for two pola angles
