1 Resolved Issues
=================

    - row and col for multi mod junngfrau single interface (gui)
    - jungfrau multi mod sync mode (start, trigger, stop)
    - set/get timing jungfrau does not give error when syc enabled
    - switching between 1 and 2 interfaces did not set gui/client zmq port properly. Resulted in dummy streaming forever.
    - rx_roi in zmq header for external guis
    - show fix go in expert mode from any tab (not just settings tab)
    - if synced, setting master to slave would have changed status to running. workaround found in software
    - new firmware requirement for fix. if acq stopped in sync mode the slave stays running for next acquisition and framesl is stuck from previous acq.
