Here are the new features:
stereo mode
qFacets
scan grid property
new normals dialog
normals oriented with scan grids (PTX, FARO, DP, etc.)
select by type or name dialog

And here are the enhanced features:
colored contour lines
poisson mesh colored
'Poisson' mesh reconstructed from a colored cloud
(as the cloud was structured - DP - the normals where also very clean ;)
display options
clean mesh cut
new histogram dialog
filtered distances
C2C distances filtered based on the reference sensor point of view
ransac SD cone

 And last but not least, here are the dead bugs:
We also fell back to the version 4.8 of the Qt framework for a better stability (the previous version was based on the - too young - Qt 5.4 framework which was responsible for many display issues).
