•	Enabled the Close (X) button on the main form and added code to allow the user to save any modified worksheets that are currently open and haven’t been saved;
•	Enabled the Close(X) button on the CAT Command Terminal form;
•	Added sorting capability to the Memory Channel worksheet grid.  The grid rows can be sorted by the Rx Frequency column value by clicking on the Rx Frequency column header, or by selecting the Sort option from the Edit menu.  PMS Memory Channels in rows P-1L through P-9U of the grid are not included in sort operations, as their positions need to remain fixed.
•	System clipboard text can now be pasted into the Memory Channel, Menu Settings and Macro Definition worksheet grids by typing Ctrl + Alt + V, or by selecting Paste System from the Edit menu or the right-click context menu.
•	Upgraded the Syncfusion control library to release v13.4.0.53, which fixed a defect with the Default Worksheet Type combo-box in the Application Settings dialog.

Version 1.1.0.51250 (2016-01-04):
•	Fixed minimised main window on start-up issue. Previously, if the main window was minimised when the application was closed, the ‘minimised’ location and size were stored in the settings file. The next time FTRestore was run, the main window would be minimised and couldn’t be restored.
In this release, if the main window is minimised when the application is closed, the ‘restored’ location and size are stored in the settings file instead, which allows the main window to be displayed in the correctly restored state on the subsequent start-up;
•	Added a Macro Toolbar feature whereby several Macro buttons can be defined to send user-definable CAT command strings from with the CAT Command Terminal. This can be used to store CW Contest Memory Keyer messages for example;
•	A new FT-991 Mobile Noise Reduction feature has been added. By selecting checkboxes in the Preferences dialog, the Noise Blanker and/or Digital Noise Reduction controls can be set on in each Memory Channel using non-FM modes during a Set Memory Channel operation.

Version 1.1.0.43016 (2015-10-30):
•	With Version 2.03 onwards of the MAIN firmware in the FT-991, the CN CAT command parameter format has changed. This release of FTRestore has been modified to work with the new CN command parameter format.

Version 1.1.0.39024 (2015-05-12):
•	Added missing Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll assembly to deployment package. Although this component hasn’t been included previously, FTRestore nonetheless seemed to work fine without it. However, after the 1.1.0.38170 release, two users reported that they got the following exception:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Syncfusion.Compression.Base, version 13.1451…”
According to the Syncfusion documentation, Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll should be deployed when using Syncfusion Essential XlsIO components.

Version 1.1.0.38170 (2015-05-11):
•	First production release;
•	Added a Check for Updates... menu option on the Help menu to check for FTRestore updates, and to download and install the latest version when the currently executing version is an earlier release;
