The 'Crop' function supports greyscale and black & white images. (In the past, this function could be used only for color images.)

Enhanced algorithm for detection of paper size

Improved visual quality of exported PDFs with MRC compression

All predefined MRC modes (MinSize, MaxQuality, Balanced, MaxSpeed) have been improved in regard to visual quality.
