 - Algorithm :ref:`BASISReduction311 <algm-BASISReduction311>` has been included in algorithm :ref:`BASISReduction <algm-BASISReduction>`.
 - Range bars colours in the *ISIS Calibration* interface have been updated to match the convention in the fit wizard.
 - Vesuvio sigma_theta value updated for single and double differencing in both forward and back scattering. The new value is 0.016 for all.
+- The Elwin interface now uses the resolution of the instrument to create the range bars when possible
