# 7.0.0-Release Candidate 7

This is the 7.0.0 Release Candidate 7. Below are listed the many bug fixes and development that have gone into this release.

## New Features

+ Save the complete state of the visualization windows so that you can recreate them easily later on
+ Set default visualization options that will be used when visualizing the data from the end of a pipeline run
+ Cell/Point mouse data highlighting is much faster now.
+ Added an Expand/Collapse all in the Render Properties tree view
+ You can create a Multi-Threshold Objects filter from the visualization mode.
+ Data Arrays that are, or could be, modified by a filter are now marked in the DataStructure View with a "delta" symbol.
+ Additional Visualization annotation options: Corner, free float and image.
+ Rename visualization tree view items.
+ Numerous bug fixes and enhancements to the underlying filters.

### Filter Renaming

In an effort to be consistent with filter nameing, a number of input and output filters have been renamed.
