DART v2.1 "Cappadocia" Release

Release Date: February 15, 2025

I am thrilled to announce the release of DART v2.1 "Cappadocia" – a powerful update to the Data Access and Reformatting Tool I've been working on for a while!

What's New in v2.1 "Cappadocia"

• Scrollable Filter Panel:
  The right-hand filter panel now scrolls independently, so even with dozens of columns your main window stays compact and focused.

• Optimized Data Loading:
  Enhanced model updates and signal blocking reduce stuttering when loading large CSV files, ensuring a smooth experience.

• Zoom Controls:
  New toolbar buttons allow you to zoom in, zoom out, and reset the view on your data table—providing true visual scaling of your data.

• Improved Splitter Layout:
  The main window layout has been rebalanced with refined splitter stretch factors, so the data view occupies most of the space while the filter panel remains neatly contained.

• General Performance Enhancements:
  Overall UI responsiveness and stability have been improved across the application.

• Bug Fixes:
  Resolved issues with CSV loading, filtering glitches, and minor UI bugs from previous releases.
