- Login dialog of CAP 501 is not shown any more on starting or
closing the program, but instead the program is started directly in Changes from previous
the Project Structure Navigator view. Information provided by the version
removed login dialog is now shown on the new About dialog started
from the Help menu of the Project Structure Navigator.
- Title and icon for the CAP 501 main window are improved.

Changes to the Project Structur

- COM 610 gateway object type has been added.

- Different object types (structurization items, gateways, different
relay types) have their own icon representations in the project view.
- Support for user-definable background colors of the project tree
has been implemented. Separate view colors can be used to dif-
ferentiate between separate projects and/or separate views of
one project.
- A file history list of the previously opened projects has been added
to the File menu of the Project Structure Navigator. It helps to
quickly open some recently used local project.
- A toolbar button for the DR-Collector Tool has been added.
- The relay object configuration dialogs are now placed on top of
the Project Structure Navigator window, so they can not be lost
behind all the other dialogs anymore.

point after a 10 s time-out.
- If the SPA password of the relay is not the default one, the user is
asked to submit the password when e.g. downloading param-
eters. Previously it was not possible to enter a SPA password
