 - Enhancement: Advanced TLO Calibration option. Here you can set the offset to use from tool setter, and/or the number of repeat probings to use
 - Enhancement: Added a warning popup if the controller version is lower than the firmware. This is not a supported config
 - Enhancement: Added Auto Ext. Out toggle to spindle dropdown and Config and Run screen. This can be used to automatically run a vacuum or compressor when the spindle is running
+- Fixed: Resume-at-line restores feed rates from standalone and tightly packed F words before recovery moves
 - Fixed: Restore Keyboard Jogging state after Probing Popup is closed
 - Fixed: Repeated firmware checks now happen just once
 - Fixed: UI widget updates from the SerialMonitor() now dispatched via the main thread. This should reduce the number of RecycleView related crashes
