thank you for all the hard work and for giving us this awesome piece of software.
when can we expect the completion of the new UI  ?

We just published repackaged Windows installer for web UI (version 4.2.398) with Jetty 10 inside.

Best regards,

Functionality wise it is mostly complete, most likely we will move remaining functionality during 4.2 patch releases.
As for UX (interaction with views, menus, etc.) - we are still experimenting, and major changes are still possible. Feedback from users also very important.

Sorry, but after the last update i have an issue.
before the update i used to "run" DCI Summary tables by right-clicking on the folders, now I can't find the button anymore.

It is known issue, will be fixed in upcoming patch release.

Best regards,
Victor
