  The new command WinGanttCellInfo() allows you to convert the coordinates of GanttGraph and PrtGanttGraph objects into cell coordinates. The coordinates are specified relative to the top-left corner of the object and can be retrieved from the event information, for example, in the EvtMouseItem event.
• Determine usage and limits for user and GDI objects
  The currently used and maximum available user and GDI objects can be queried using the new properties spObjectsUser, spObjectsUserLimit, spObjectsGDI, and spObjectsGDILimit of the _Sys object.

• Search function in the debugger’s tree view
  You can search the debugger’s trees using the Ctrl+F, F3, and Shift+F3 keys.
• Database expansion optimized
  If the database runs out of free segments, it is expanded. This process has now been optimized to run in the background. This also affects the import of large BLOBs.

• Performance Optimization
  The performance of read operations (RecRead(), RecLink(), RecList, and RecView objects) on large datasets, as well as the import and export of large BLOBs, has been optimized. This applies when the data to be transferred is larger than 2 kilobytes. Both the client and server must be at least version 5.7.05 for the optimization to take effect.
• Backup of the data room table
  Before modifying the server’s data space table, a backup copy of the existing file is created in c16_serv_backup.ars. This is done to prevent an error in which the data space table is overwritten by an empty data space table.
• Button with wpTypeButton = _WinBtnHelp
  Button, MenuButton, and ColorButton objects that have been assigned the _WinBtnHelp action via the wpTypeButton property now also call the help function while processing an event.

In addition to these enhancements, numerous bugs have been fixed. An overview of the fixes can be found in the error log.
