New Features/Feature Updates:

Added a dongle firmware updater.

On startup, the dongle version is checked and, if necessary, updated to the latest firmware automatically.
Added "Accum. Avg. " to "Fuel Economy"

Added `Accum. Average' to `Fuel Economy'.

Accumulated average fuel economy is the continual averaging of fuel consumed over distance traveled. The average is saved periodically and resumed between sessions. The accumulated average can be reset by selecting `Accum. Average' within `Settings' under `Fuel Economy'.
Added Min/Max in Live Data

Added monitor min/max values when viewing `Live Data'.

Min/max values will show the minimum and maximum values of the active monitor during the session. Values are reset after selecting a new monitor.
Added save and load of last used dynamometer test parameters

Last used dyno parameters are now stored as defaults for subsequent dyno runs.

Saved parameters can be reset through `Reset Dyno' found under `Settings' then `Performance'.
Added Dyno log feature (log accessible through AP Manager)

Added automatic Dyno log archival.

The last ten logs will be stored automatically. Dyno logs can be retrieved through AccessPORT Manager using the `Advanced View'.
Subaru: added 2008 WRX AT support

Added 2008 Subaru WRX Automatic support.
Subaru: added task to adjust idle and timing
Added `Adjust Idle' and `Adjust Timing' to `ECU Settings', found on the main menu.

Idle RPM can be temporarily adjusted +/- 300 RPM in 25 RPM increments.
Timing can be retarded up to -5 degrees in 1 degree increments.
Nissan and Mazda: DTC task shows which module is throwing codes

Added sub-module trouble code reading and clearing (Mazda and Nissan only)
Mazda: made logging and flashing communications faster
Improved communication speed for logging and flashing (Mazda only)



Bug Fixes:
Fixed condition where "Fuel Economy" averaging was active during disconnect

Fixed improper averaging of `Fuel Economy' during communication failures.

During communication failures, 0 MPG was averaged into the average instead of being ignored.
Rewrote "Live Data" Drawing Code

Optimized `Live Data' drawing code for efficiency and better usability and readability.

A full monitor list is displayed for easier monitor selection. Improved visibility of monitor display.
Fixed temporary invalid value when changing monitors in "Live Data"

Fixed temporary invalid values displayed when changing monitors in `Live Data'.
Subaru: Fixed monitors for 06 Forester XT AT/MT

Corrected `Live Data' monitor definitions for the 2006 Subaru Forester XT Automatic and Manual.

Invalid monitor definitions prevented `Live Data' from displaying any monitors.
Subaru: Fixed launch control/flat-foot shift for 04 and 07 STI

Corrected realtime adjustment of launch control and flat-foot shift RPM for the 2004 and 2007 Subaru STI.

Invalid definitions prevented realtime adjustment of the launch control and flat-foot shift RPM.

Firmware updating process has been moved from AccessPORT Manager to AccessPORT Updater.

Most of the changes are graphical. Live data numbers are bigger font and the cool new thing is that it keeps the high and low values of the sensor you are currently monitoring.

As well, It seems that the data is monitored at a faster rate, so it is more accurate than before. Finally they added in the accum average for the fuel economy. Thats all I noticed on my drive home. Did not check out the performance stuff tho.
