   * ** [[quickshow:lic|License and Registration System]]**: The largest and most impactful change to the average user in 5.0 is the new licensing and registration system. This is a two-part system which departs us from the old school hardware to license file system we have used since QuickShow was introduced.
   * **Improved Core Processing**: Changes were made to how QuickShow’s processing core communicates with windows and we have improved calculation performance and CPU usage for beyond. We have also updated the communication protocol between QuickShow and FB4’s from TCP/IP to UDP.
   * **Updated Content Workspace**: QuickShow 5.0 comes with an expanded default workspace! This now includes more graphic content, abstracts, beams as well as a bunch of new content designed for Beam Brush, all with graphics, abstracts, and beams as well! All and all its more than 1000 new cues for your lasers to chew on!
   * **Simplification, Optimization, Bug Fixes**: If you didn’t notice, it worked! Lots of background fixes, and optimization since the last release.
+  * **Wide Angle Compensation**: Wide angle compensation is a new check box in your scan speed tab of projector settings which will automatically slow scan speeds down when projecting at large scan angles. This has the benefit of lowering the heat inside the scanners, correcting “bent” corners in projection, and extending the life of your scanners.
 ===== Release 4.0 =====
-  * Groups, a new mode for Live performance inside the Grid: Cues of the workspace can be organized into groups, which define the cue's life cycle and laser output. Groups provides a new way to organize your workspace.

-  * FB4 Export: Redesigned the user interface and also added new features -- representing a whole new path for the preparation of FB4 content. Dedicated user interface design for all modes including Autoplay/Scheduler, DMX and Test frames. QuickShow also offers FB4 file viewer for checking out exported animation files.

-  * FB4 Settings: Remote interface for changing the settings of FB4 hardware while inside QuickShow -- A new specialized window for setting the IP address, Master settings, FB4 mode (Streaming, DMX, ArtNet, etc.). This new user interface operates with every FB4 detected in network, regardless of the mode that the FB4 happens to be in.

-  * 64 bit versions: By using the latest software development tools, it has opened the door to new technical features, including 64-bit versions of both BEYOND and QuickShow. Since each of these programs now have well over 1 million lines of code, it has taken Pangolin quite a while to migrate and test the new versions. But the result was worth the effort. The new multi-threading construction will keep all CPU cores busy, and the new 64-bit architecture allows the program to use all available memory.
