MaxDiff (BWS) analyses are now up to 150× faster, delivering near-instant results even for large datasets via optimized count analysis and ErrVarNorm-enabled workflows. 

New ErrVarNorm index identifies atypical respondents in MaxDiff analyses, enabling cleaner and more reliable results by filtering noisy data. 

New clustering method adapted from CLUSCATA to RATA data, allowing automatic grouping of assessors with similar sensory sensitivities. 

New funnel chart available in the visualization menu for representing multi-stage processes such as sales or conversion funnels. 

Expanded trend line options for scatter plots, including improved support for comparing trends across different groups. 

Enhanced data management with support for inner and outer joins using multiple keys, plus selective column display. 

New, reorganized XLSTAT ribbon with improved layout, easier access to analyses, and a cleaner visual design. Includes optional ribbon loading and a built-in feedback submission tool. 

New Flash profiling analysis with predefined workflows tailored for sensory tasks, included in the Sensory solution. 

New contour plot and surface plot visualizations for 3D matrices, allowing three variables to be represented in two dimensions. 

Expanded sensory discrimination testing options, including 2-AFC two-tailed tests and automatic calculation of the minimum number of correct responses needed for significance. 

Enhanced RATA analysis outputs with clearer result descriptions, bar charts showing response distributions, and boxplots per product. 

Improved Friedman test with support for Conover, Nemenyi, and Siegel-Castellan post-hoc multiple comparison tests. 

Major performance optimization for non-linear regression, with computation speeds up to 1000× faster, especially for user-defined functions. 

Classification trees now support a seed option in the LoadRun workflow (all solutions except Basic).
