 ## XMapTools 4 beta 2 (no public release yet)
 
 - Release notes:
+  - Add a new data category "Images" available in the primary menu in which specific images with their settings (color palette and range, etc.) can be stored. Three types are available: (1) Multi-plot image for plotting several images and generating a gif, (2) Multi-layer Image (shared scale) to combine several maps with a shared scale, (3) Multi-layer Image (multi-scale) to combine several maps but with different color palettes.
+  - Add new features to save data obtained with the sampling functions either for the selected map (single map) or all maps in the same data category (multiple map)  
+  - Add an option to inverse the color sequence of the selected color palette
+  - Improvements concerning ROI: calculations and plots are only performed/updated once the ROI has been moved and not while it is moving as it was before. This change improves the overal performance of the program. 
   - Add the VIRIDISLITE color palettes from Stéfan van der Walt and Nathaniel Smit
 - Import Tool:
   - Add an option to change the type of data. To speed up the importation of LA-ICP-MS maps, this change can be applied to all maps when "isotope" is selected for the first time

   - Add an option to export data in a new directory if a folder Maps\_cps already exists
   - Add an option to select a primary standard if the name of the integration is not automatically recognised
   - Add a functionality to import manually a standard file 
+- Classification:
+  - Improve the selection of input data for classification
+  - Add an option to select the method used for data scaling
+  - Add an option to ensure reproducibility of the classification algorithms based on random numbers (using seeds for the random number generator)
+  - Add an option to select the number of trees in the random forest algorithm.
 - External functions:
   - Add thermobarometry functions: Phengite\_P\_All
   - Add multi-equilibrium functions: GrtOpx\_T\_All; GrtPh\_T\_All
   - Add Ti-in-biotite thermometer of Wu & Chen (2015)
 - Other:
   - Fix an issue in the EPMA calibration assistant resulting the program to crash when no standard is available for the first phase in the list
   - Fix an issue preventing a function description to be displayed for external function with the standalone versions  
+  - Resolve a problem in the internal configuration file that could prevent XMapTools to start 
+  - Fix an issue in the function opening projects in case the standard variable is corrupted
+  - Fix an issue in the plot function for filtering infinite data out (e.g. in ratio maps)
+  - Fix an issue that the filter value for the 3D surface was not saved in the project
+  - Fix an issue in the merging function when some pixel values are NaN
