Header Ranges
A new Header ranges option is now available on the right-click menu for all volumes (2D, 3D Land, and COV). When clicked, the Header Ranges window displays the header information.

Anisotropy - Gather track
The Gather track of the Anisotropy tool has been enhanced for a better user experience, including an interactive gather display that updates as parameters are changed.
Wells - Track tab
The Volume section of the Tracks tab is now more compact but with improved control. All the Gather Location options except Nearest allow the position along the well path to be moved by a constant amount in TWT (ms), TVDSS (m or ft) or MKDB (m or ft). A new control to shift gather by relative IL/CL values is now available.

Gather View
Gather View now supports switching between active volumes using the Page Down/Page Up hotkeys.
Miscellaneous
Horizons: Horizon Smoothing: Improved results near the edge of data
DUG Insight 5.1-407291
Data Histogram
Min Value, Max Value, and Location information are now displayed in the Data Histogram window.

The Data Histogram window has been enhanced as follows:
- The options to export min/max values for a particular line or all data to a CSV file are now available. To do this, right-click the Line field, and select the desired option.
- The Screen Capture feature is now supported.

Wells - Track tab
The Single Well view has been enhanced with improved control over display settings as follows:
- For gather tracks, Density and Wiggle can now be selected for display. The display range can now be controlled, including estimating it from the volume.
- The control settings for the Colour bar have been improved for the seismic, gather, and connecting tracks, where colour bar size and panel background can now be customised. Multiple tracks can be selected and the settings can be updated simultaneously.
