Release notes for version 10.0.8
Released on 12-March-2021

What’s new 

Updated system requirements
BowTieXP now requires:
•	Windows 7 (64 bits) or newer.
Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) or newer is recommended.
•	.NET Framework version 4.7 or 4.8. 
Version 4.8 is recommended.

High DPI support
BowTieXP v10 has improved high DPI support. Note that multi-monitor high DPI support requires the .NET 4.8 framework in combination with Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) or newer. 
•	You can enable per monitor scaling in Tools/Options.
•	Custom made screens for plugins will not support dpi changes yet.
•	When changing the dpi settings on the fly, you still might need to logoff and logon again, as indicated by Windows.
•	If scaling looks off, try logging off and on again. Sometimes when connecting extra monitors, things go wrong. You can always change the scaling mode in Tools/Options if things are really off.

Global and Local Barriers and Hazards
Hazards and barriers can now be assigned a global “parent” equivalent. This means that the hazard or barrier is a “local” implementation of that global hazard or barrier. Several properties of local barriers can be accumulated and shown on the global bowtie diagram, allowing you to aggregate site-specific bowties to a global level.

LOPA plugin has been replaced by the LOPA module
LOPA can now be purchased as an add on module just like AuditXP and IncidentXP. The LOPA plugin will not load anymore in this version of BowTieXP. If you have purchased the LOPA plugin and want continue using LOPA in this version of BowTieXP, please contact support@cgerisk.com for a new activation code that activates the built in LOPA module. 
•	The new module uses a slightly different data model than the old plugin. Your old case file data needs to be converted to the new data model by a built-in conversion routine. 
•	LOPA numeric default values can be assigned to (threat) frequencies and (barrier) effectiveness.
•	UI numeric display formats and LOPA terminology can be configured within the BowTie case file.

Reporting and BowTieServer
Docx report templates can now be stored centrally in BowTieServer. When using BowTieServer, the incident manager reports are stored in BowTieServer also (instead of locally on disk).

Other UI enhancements
•	Flexible visual grouping of hazards, incidents and BowTie groups in the tree view.
•	BowTieServer check out screen: incident grouping, org unit filtering, optional hiding of lesser used nodes for cleaner selection screen.
•	Hazards risk assessment values can be configured to automatically set and follow the most severe values of the hazard’s consequences.
•	Several case file overviews now support org unit filtering.
