    • New tutorials and source code for parallelization have been added.
    • Automatic licensing of CameraSuite via the internet eases set-up
    • The GenICam grid now supports WPF for cleaner, more modern user interfaces.

New features on Linux and Linux on ARM platforms include support for Ubuntu 16.04, in addition to Ubuntu 12.04.
