### Base Program

- **Accurate parlor visit tracking:** Resolved an issue where last parlor visit items (`LPVD` and `LPVS`) were incorrectly updated for animals not included in a milk import.
- **Enhanced DairyComp Client task stability:** Scheduled task tables now remain persistent during power interruptions, internet outages, or system updates. This improvement maintains consistent automated workflows and prevents data loss during unexpected system restarts.
- **Expanded sexed beef semen identification:** DairyComp now supports male beef sexed semen (type Q) for stud codes 689 and 651. This update provides more precise breeding records and maintains reporting accuracy for producers using these Select Sires and STgenetics bulls.
- **Reliable treatment withhold tracking:** Resolved an issue where withhold dates could be incorrectly overwritten with shorter dates when transactions were sent from a DairyComp Client to the Server.
- **Improved international stability:** Resolved an update error for Italian users and fixed a command line freeze for DairyComp Consultant users.
- **Enhanced protocol reporting:** The `EGRAPH` and `EVENTS` reports now correctly display and legend protocols with IDs greater than 255.
- **Accurate lactation records:** Resolved an issue where entering a `FRESH` event with a pregnancy adjustment incorrectly placed a `BORN` event in the previous lactation record.
- **Reliable localized reporting:** Fixed an issue in Russian and Chinese cowfiles that prevented users from drilling into report totals or caused item names to appear mismatched.
- **Streamlined sire creation:** Resolved a bug during `BRED` event entry that prevented the sire creation window from closing properly.

- **HeiferPro:** Resolved an issue where importing files caused duplicate animal records to appear on DairyComp Client reports.
- **Germany:** Resolved an issue where automatically recorded `MOVE` events incorrectly displayed protocol numbers instead of pen details.
