 ====== Release Notes ======
+===== p.d 5.4.8 =====

+===== p.d 5.4.7 =====
+May 31, 2024
+**NEW FEATURES**
+  * Adds a **Copy Beam** option by right clicking on a beam
+  * Adds option to shift digitized electron blocks to allow fitting onto the user selected cone
+  * Added a p.d app specific permission to allow patient initials in order file
+**GENERAL BUG FIXES AND UPDATES**
+  * Updated the Order Wizard and authentication processes to be less sensitive to short term connection interruptions
+  * DICOM export is now allowed for invalid bolus designs (e.g. bolus extends off CT image bounds), but ordering remains blocked and error message text is improved
+  * Updated Electron Aperture millability function to use more robust library, now matching Proton Apertures
+  * Changes Reports to set material for blocks from the block data, not as a hardcode
+  * Changes photon block material to Brass instead of Cerrobend in order files
+  * Fixes the bolus structure name on Bolus PDF reports
+  * Removes URL unfriendly characters from MRN (only for those using MRN in patient order files, this is RARE)
+  * Updates the Order Wizard to check CompIDs for patient name on initial wizard load (prevents issue that allowed digitized EAs to have full names in CompID)
+  * Adds options for news articles to contain images
+  * Moves Order Tracking button to be more visible and adds commonly used action buttons to Welcome Page header
+  * Fixes a bug allowing 10x6 to be selected when the block opening is larger than this size
+  * Updates maximum allowed cutout opening size for Elekta Electron blocks (size is now at applicator plane as per Elekta specifications)
+  * Fixes a bug that could result in two EXTERNAL structures in an exported DICOM Structure Set file
+  * Updates electron block display color from yellow to copper
+  * Bolus Wizard now computes and displays the surface area and volume of each bolus
+  * Forces user to select body for FlexiBol when “External” is not set during import
+  * Disallow body and bolus as same structure when designing a bolus
+  * Updated the “Structure as Bolus” option of the Bolus Wizard to compute and display the Volume, Surface Area, and Size of a bolus
+**PROTON UPDATES**
+  * Updates the Machine data and Machine Settings to support proton machines that have a single snout that holds multiple size AP/RC (e.g. via a tray)
+  * Updates the Machine data and Machine Settings to allow a new proton RC/AP engraving option that uses the Beam Name and Device Accessory Code (also updated max characters to 52 for this option)
+  * Updates the proton aperture tool size to match the latest manufacturing sizes and also allows smaller APs (i.e. Hitachi SRS) to use the recently added smaller diameter tool
+  * Removes the warning regarding missing Range Compensators for proton PBS plans as RCs are rarely used for PBS
+  * Updates the BEV window for proton plans to indicate sizes are shown as projected to the isocenter plane
+  * Fixes a bug preventing use of proton aperture/range compensator “cores”
+  * Fixes a bug that made the RingDiameter and maxRadius fields blank in proton order files (non-divergent apertures)

 ===== p.d 5.4.6 =====
-October PENDING, 2022

 //What's New//
-  * Added a [[direct:userguide#app_specific_permissions|Site Level application permission]] to decimal Direct to require p.d users as a site to enter Bill PO information for each order.
+  * 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.

     * Changed the default "Point Spacing" to "Fine" if field size less than 8cm
     * Changed the default "Depth Beyond Target" to 1cm
