## Known Issues

- 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. 155 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).
