This is designed to avoid nuisance alarms from tugs which are towing aircraft with active ADS-B transponders across CP line

• TUN-3687 - Added the ability to round and localise metrics, such as speed, that can be configured to appear in security alarm descriptions. These options are configured through systems settings

• TUN-3759 - Added a generic hide entity action so all UI elements can be hidden or shown as part of a rule action

• TUN-3814 - Added a new shortcut to latch a track with a camera by right clicking on the track. This is a user optional feature and is disabled by default

Improvements

• TUN-3713 - Updated the Witness Camera Tool to show more camera details and allow absolute position to be sent on demand instead of automatically on user interaction

• Added consistent camera mapping configuration for all VMS plugins. This ensures we can support cameras with dual lenses and also support duplicate bookmarks across multiple recorders

• Added re-classification rule triggers for ML Classification. These can now be configured as part of the central ML Classification settings

• Ensured that ADS-B numeric tags appear as hex within the UI

• Updated the RTS plugin to ensure unclassified targets have a probability of 0, otherwise a probability of 1 when classified

• Changed the default ADS-B classification probability to be 0 for unclassified to match radar track sightings. When classified all ADS-B targets will have a probability of 1

• TUN-3831 - Added a non-friendly sighting filter to ADS-B plugin to avoid passing non-friendly targets into AdvanceGuard. This now the default option

• TUN-3830 - Added classification override to ADS-B plugin so specific know vehicles / planes can be classified within the ADS-B plugin

• TUN-3578 - Added an option to the radar info panel with the other rotation controls to enable the rotation of the contour area without rotating radar data

• Added logic to retain IFF and override status on tracks even when IFF data is sporadic

• TUN-3804 - Changed security break info data to only be added to tracks if the data is different to defaults

• TUN-3805 - Added secondary gateway failover configuration and logic to the RTS plugin to support the RTS redundancy setup

• TUN-3796 - Fixed the UTC / local time display issue for system notes dialog

• TUN-3725 - Fixed a bug where IFF playback tracks were not being treated as IFF tracks, they will now be friendly, visually remain green and not be pushed to the rule engine

• TUN-3752 - Fixed an issue where we were not able to filter group targets by classifications when more then one classification was selected

• Fixed an issue that was causing the initial rotation of the radar contour area to random jump when not using the mouse wheel

• TUN-3768 - Fixed an issue to ensure that camera groups work as expected so they now use the maximum follow time for tracks of the same priority

• Fixed a display issue in the Topology Manager, where the Current Ram tooltip was incorrect

• Fixed an issue with the False Alarm query not be cleared properly which prevented the heat map displaying when you change colours

• Fixed an issue with unlatching cameras that was causing an additional unwanted camera tasking after unlatching a track
