Whatever the plate width/height ratio, the mounting screws located near the corners remain properly rounded (not oval). In addition, the mounting screws display at a correct size against the plate width: the larger the plate, the larger the screws, while the plate height only affects the number of screws visible: 4, 2 or none.
- FIXED: bug with the TCAD targets priority: it was incorrectly displaying the farthests targets instead of the nearests.
- FIXED: bug that could lead to intermitent loss of communication between gauge and GNS simulation.
- FIXED: bug with the installer: the "Check Software Update" links in the "Start Menu\Reality XP" group where not pointing to the right location on Windows XP.
- IMPROVED: faster start and initialisation times.

The installer will inconditionally overwrite the gauge file regardless of the versioning (whereas before, it overwrote the file only if it was a newer file version number). This won't affect the auto-update numbering scheme.
