+Release 2.6
+===========
+
+Controls
+--------
+
+All added, removed or renamed controls of the main GUIs are listed. These lists are intended to help upgrading the JSON
+configuration files. Controls, like GroupBox'es, which can not be read/written with the configuration code are not included.

+Sweep Formula
+-------------
+
+- Rework builtin help
+  - Index with links at the bottom, with back buttons
+  - In-Editor help via tooltip
+  - Enhance it in various places
+- Add basic syntax coloring to Editor
+- Enhance test coverag
+
+AnalysisBrowser
+---------------
+
+None
+
+DataBrowser
+-----------
+
+None
+
+DataBrowser/SweepBrowser
+------------------------
+
+- Fix ``Selected`` checkbox in Logbook panel
+
+Dashboard
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Handle manually stopped sweeps better
+
+DA\_Ephys
+---------
+
+None
+
+JSON Configuration
+------------------
+
+- Add ``LPF primary output``
+
+Downsample
+----------
+
+None
+
+Analysis Functions
+------------------
+
+- ``PSQ_Chirp``:
+
+  - Add ``UserOnsetDelay``/``UseTrueRestingMembranePotentialVoltage``/``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+  - Make ``SamplingMultiplier``/``NumberOfFailedSweeps`` an required analysis parameter
+
+- ``PSQ_SealEvaluation``:
+
+  - Make ``BaselineChunkLength`` a lower limit for WaveBuilder epoch length
+    instead of an exact match. This allows to have longer epochs that what is
+    used for baseline evaluation.
+  - Made SweepFormula execution more robust
+  - Make it work with other DACs than zero
+  - Make ``SamplingMultiplier``/``BaselineRMSShortThreshold``/``BaselineRMSLongThreshold``
+    required analysis parameters
+  - Add ``NextIndexingEndStimSetName``/``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+
+- Add ``PSQ_AccessResistanceSmoke``
+
+- Add ``PSQ_TrueRestingMembranePotential``
+
+- ``PSQ_PipetteInBath``:
+
+  - Made SweepFormula execution more robust
+  - Make ``SamplingMultiplier``/``BaselineRMSShortThreshold``/``BaselineRMSLongThreshold``
+    required analysis parameters
+  - Add ``NextIndexingEndStimSetName``/``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+
+- Allow to change the indexing state in ``POST_DAQ_EVENT``
+
+- ``PSQ_SquarePulse``:
+
+  - Use the correct labnotebook prefix again and not the one for
+    ``PSQ_SealEvaluation``. Broken since 1a64ca17 (PSQ_SealEvaluation: Add it,
+    2022-02-22).
+  - Add ``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+
+- ``PSQ_DAScale``:
+
+  - Avoid warning from FitResistance about missing labnotebook keys if the sweep did not pass.
+  - Add ``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+
+- ``PSQ_Rheobase``:
+
+  - Add ``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+
+- ``PSQ_Ramp``:
+
+  - Add ``AsyncQCChannels`` analysis parameter
+

+
+Pulse Average Plot
+------------------
+
+None
+
+General
+-------

+
+New numerical keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- ``Get/Set Inter-trial interval``
+- ``PSQ_FMT_LBN_AR_ACCESS_RESISTANCE``
+- ``PSQ_FMT_LBN_AR_ACCESS_RESISTANCE_PASS``
+- ``PSQ_FMT_LBN_AR_STEADY_STATE_RESISTANCE``
+- ``PSQ_FMT_LBN_AR_RESISTANCE_RATIO``
