====== Release Notes ======

===== p.d 5.4.6 =====

October 27, 2022

//What's New//
  * Added a [[direct:userguide#app_specific_permissions|Site Level application permission]] to decimal Direct to require p.d users at a site to enter Bill PO information for each order.
  * Updated the Electron Block Digitizer Wizard to show the original scanned image by default instead of the color corrected image.
  * Updated the Electron Block Digitizer Wizard to always hide the automatic orientation button to be more intuitive to users where auto orientation fails.
  * Updated the Order Wizard to hide the manual ordering option if the user does not have the required permission.
  * Updated the Order Summary Report to include the anonymized patient ID.
  * Increases the default Structure Resolution to 300 and removes permission control on editing this field. This may help some instances of customer bolus devices having holes if the bolus has been correctly contoured.
  * Updated Bolus Wizard defaults to better support common use cases, including:
    * Changed the default "Target Inner Border" value to zero
    * Changed the default "Point Spacing" to "Fine" if field size less than 8cm
    * Changed the default "Depth Beyond Target" to 1cm
    * Changed the default "Distal PTV Dose" to 80% if field size less than 8x8 AND energy 9MeV and lower
    * Changed the default "Unmilled Margin" to 1.5cm
  * Updated the Bolus Wizard to include the normalization value in the wizard for added user convenience.

//Bug Fixes//
  * Corrects several errors in the bolus dose normalization code that caused lower than expected maximum dose for small fields and low energies.
