• New Protocol: BMW KWP - Advanced. Supports MSD80 and MSD81 control units. Others on request.

• Added workaround for older CPC-NG versions with buggy XCP stack
• Fixed VAG KWP TCU showing up as ECU in the PRO Manager app.

• PRO: Manager: Changed license purchase dialog to the same style used in the standalone client.
• PRO: Manager: Added indication about which patch is installed on client (logging or logging + LIVE).
• PRO: Slave: Shows a LIVE menu when Remote LIVE is licensed in the Manager and allows to monitor encrypted file.
• PRO: Remote LIVE can be used with Dropbox, Google Drive and other automatic synchronization services or the file can be manually overwritten.
• Added a warning if an already existing subscription is being extended with an unlicensed advanced protocol init (solves problem of new users buying double subscription instead of licensing advanced protocol).
• Fixed slightly increased CPU usage when using new rate limiter introduced in v4.0.3

• PRO: Show CSV settings loaded from the server rather than the ones stored on the PC.
• PRO: Init list is now automatically refreshed in Manager after API key entered or changed in settings.
• Fixed file processing for certain old EDC17CP04 variants, the file number was not detected correctly.
• Fixed issue with DTC reading on patched Porsche ME7.8.1 CAN controllers. The tool will ask to read the DTC's while not measuring. Patched logging uses K-Line, but the ECU uses CAN for DTC's and simultaneous connection is impossible.
