DairyComp version 26.7 contains various bug fixes, customer-requested enhancements, and improvements.

Expand the topics below to learn more about the updates in this release:

### Base Program

- **Improved index calculation accuracy:&#x20;**&#x55;pdated the `SIRES\9` command to provide more precise index calculations by improving sire data retrieval. The process now uses ISO IDs and specific mappings for sexed semen bulls to locate sires more accurately. Additionally, the system no longer uses breed averages as a fallback, limiting calculations to known sires only.
- **Corrected server activity logging:** Resolved an issue where the `SERVER\M` command incorrectly logged "PCC Refresh..." messages when advanced activity logging was enabled.
  - **TIP:** A setting was added to `SERVER\3` in [version 26.5](docId:9UarlRrmGvIXCT1WALG7S) to support more efficient multi-client refreshes. Enabling this setting can improve responsiveness on systems experiencing lag during client updates.
- **Enhanced scheduled task stability:** Improved task handling for the DairyComp server and clients to increase resilience against improper shutdowns.
- **Corrected EGRAPH labeling:** Resolved an issue where the Y-axis label for `EGRAPH` displayed incorrect information.
- **Corrected 305 Age-Adjusted Milk calculations:** Resolved a calculation error affecting 305 Age-Adjusted Milk values for Canadian herds.

### Integrations

- **ParlorBoss**&#x20;
  - **Expanded pen number support:** Updated DairyComp to support sending pen numbers greater than 250 to ParlorBoss. This improvement allows larger dairies to maintain consistent pen identification across their management and parlor systems.
  - **International character support:** Improved the ParlorBoss integration to support UTF-8 character encoding. This update allows for the correct processing and display of Cyrillic and other international characters.
