[-] Removed covfefe factor.


Version 4.1.0

Released: 06/10/2022

[*] Fixed issue where the Isocratic Solvent B Fraction slider wouldn't be hidden when using Gradient Elution Mode.
[+] Began adding support for multiple languages.
- English - Fully Supported 06/10/2022

Version 4.0.0

Released: 06/08/2021

[+] Added "Detector Frequency" input in the "General Properties" menu. This is replacing the "Plot Points" input.
[~] Deprecated "Time Constant" input. Instead of disabling the input box, the input box was removed and tau is now locked at 0.1 seconds.
[~] Deprecated "Plot Points" input. This is being replaced by the "Detector Frequency" input.
[*] HPLCSim user interface files are now .PHP instead of .HTML starting from version 4.0.0 and onward. This change allows intigration with the website master header and footer files.
[-] Removed covfefe factor.


Version 3.3.0

Released: 12/28/2020

[*] Fixed issue where compound lnkw and S parameters were duplicated across mobile phases.
[*] The "Manage Compounds" list now updates with valid compounds when switching between different mobile phases.

Isocratic Elution Mode.
[-] Removed covfefe factor.


Version 3.2.0

Released: 11/16/2020

[+] Added ability to set compound concentrations.
[*] Peaks are now drawn starting at tR - 8σ to improve program performance, especially when working with large retention factors.
[*] Fixed issue where the reset button didn't redraw the table or the graph.
[~] In future versions, the "plot points" input will be replaced with a "detector frequency" input.
[-] Removed covfefe factor.
