+
+### User interface
+- official [mesoSPIM logo](https://github.com/mesoSPIM/mesoSPIM-control/tree/master/mesoSPIM/gui/mesoSPIM-logo.png) is uploaded, also for use as desktop icon (mesoSPIM-logo.ico)
+- non-relevant ETL settings are grayed out depending on the left/right illumination to minimize confusion during ETL optimization (#71).
+- for slow stages the **Move** buttons can be set to sleep for *N* ms to limit the click frequency from the user (prevent stage runout): paremeter `'button_sleep_ms_xyzft' : (250, 0, 250, 0, 0),` in the [config file](https://github.com/mesoSPIM/mesoSPIM-control/blob/master/mesoSPIM/config/demo_config.py).
+- file names now include magnification and rotation (if several rotations are present)

+- **STOP Stages** button is big red.
+
+### Bug fixes
+- tile translation metadata in XML/H5 data were transposed in some configurations (x-y)
+- `'etl_l_delay_%'` config parameter was updated to avoid edge artifacts in ETL scanning
+- in auto-focus optimization pipeline, the first image of the sequence was incorrect
