  - Fixed an error that incorrectly labeled surface features with 0
  - Fixed indexing error when calculating surface features for a 2D geometry in the YZ plane

- HDF5
  - Fixed bool converting to uint8 when reading from HDF5
  - Fixed importing a Node Geometry from HDF5 file

- Quick Surface Mesh
  - Fixed bug where geometries were not created properly

- Raw Binary Reader
  - Optimized algorithm to make read in faster

- Remove Minimum Size Features
  - Allow user to set the 'Feature Group' so that all arrays in that group are updated

- Rotate Sample Ref Frame
  - Added option to delete original geometry

- Scalar Segment Features
  - Redesigned algorithm for large performance gain

- STL File Reader
  - Add the option to scale output after reading


## Known Issues

- Widget Docking bug on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS + Wayland

- Rotate Sample Ref Frame
  - Doesn't support NeighborLists and StringArrays

- DataStructure
  - makePath function could have possible undefined behavior in fringe cases

- DREAM3D limited backwards compatibility

- Some filters are missing progress updates

Not all filters are present for this release. 130 of 400 filters are ported. Notably absent are the synthetic building filters , i.e., StatsGenerator. Old Pipelines do ***NOT*** work with this version as the format has changed. Old DREAM3D files ***CAN*** be opened and used in this version of DREAM3D. **Undo/Redo commands are absent.** This is a release candidate so expect there to be some stability issues. Please report any issues [here](https://github.com/BlueQuartzSoftware/DREAM3DNX-Issues/discussions/issues).
