The graphing got a whole lot better.

You can now take a graph and rotate the markers on each axis.
As well you can get the equation of a regression line printed
on your graph. It appears to work faster as well.
Every simple thing like this helps a lot when you need to be at the
edge of performance.
There is even reported to be PDF import so that you can modify
and export some of those old pdf files that require minor updates.
(haven't tried yet).
