DT numberIssue title
LimitationIncreased screen scaling can degrade appearance. Higher screen scaling settings might cause iBase to become unusable.
LimitationCustom image retrieval plug-ins used with the Plate Analysis option in previous versions of iBase will no longer work with iBase 10. Contact i2 Support for further assistance.
LimitationDate fields without a display format set will display in en-gb format regardless of the operating system regional format settings. This issue will be resolved in a future fix pack.
LimitationWhen adding new links or editing existing links in a datasheet definition, iBase will prevent certain link types from being added to the datasheet. This issue will be resolved in a future fix pack.
