MRT Program Package:
1. Adjusted the registration process display of the MRT registration panel to optimize the user experience.

Main program, upgraded to 2.1.9.3:
1. Adjusted the network verification strategy for online version when opening MRT.
2. Added "default configuration" option for signal adjustment function.
3. Added default signal parameters for signal adjustment function for various Western Digital PCB numbers.
4. Added the option to "save configuration to chip" for signal adjustment function
5. Adjusted the panel layout for signal adjustment function.
6. Optimized the wording for the signal adjustment function in both Chinese and English.

Western Digital module, upgraded to 2.3.9.3:
1. Added T2 editor's rebuilding algorithm for the selected "search for all nodes" (Methods one and two) to handle formatting situations where the 190 nodes are not severely damaged.
2. Added T2 editor's rebuilding algorithm for the unselected "search for all nodes" (Method three), suitable for cases where the 190 entry is damaged and after rebuilding, Method one occasionally encounters a power outage during copying.
Note: After this upgrade, the T2 editor adopts different strategies regarding whether to select "search for all nodes." Please be sure to watch the subsequent T2 tutorial to understand the usage.
3. Added the LBA entry checkbox mechanism for the T2 editor, which can specify any LBA node to rebuild the T2 index.
4. Added valid data size statistics, displayed in the log when loading the 190 module or T2 file using T2 editor.
5. Added the mechanism to skip damaged tracks during full backup, defaulting to skip the current track when encountering bad sectors.
6. Added the "skip corrupted tracks" option for track backup. When selected, the current track is skipped when encountering bad sectors, and when unselected, the drive continues to read when encountering bad sectors.
7. Fixed the unlocking algorithm issue for PCB number 800077.
8. Fixed the initialization failure issue of Western Digital DE's factory mode for non-SMR drives.
9. Optimized the "disable 411" function of the firmware unlock panel.
10. Optimized the available node search mechanism for the T2 editor, specifically for more confusing 190 module TIS mark.
11. Optimized the track backup function to not display reserved tracks by default, facilitating the backup of valid tracks.
12. Optimized the logic for handling bad sectors when reading firmware using the track/ABA method, significantly reducing the waiting time.

Seagate module, upgraded to 2.0.9.3:
1. Optimized the default system file options for 3E family full backup.
2. Optimized the description of common system files for the 3E family.
3. Optimized the default skipping of system files (volume3, 0x313) for the B2 family to prevent automatic power-off/on of the hard drive.

Phison controller:
1. Fixed the occasional crash issue of the PS3111 firmware scanning process.
2. Optimized the running speed and memory usage of the PS3111 program.

Silicon Motion , upgraded to 1.2.9.3:
1. Optimized the low success rate of loading initial default LDR for 2258XT.
2. Optimized filtering LDR by type for 2258XT.

Data Explorer module, upgraded to 6.0.9.3:
1. Added real-time size display for statistical folders.
2. Added Shift operation for file browsing, enabling the selection of multiple files or folders.
3. Fixed the error of not restoring the last value at “scan block size” when deselecting single sector mode.
4. Fixed the abnormal sector map statistic in data statistics panel.
5. Fixed the issue where selecting to skip 241A was not effective.
6. Fixed the color marking error for skipping erroneous sectors.
7. Fixed the problem of NTFS file system encountering folder cycling during parsing.
8. Adjusted the RGB values of multiple sector blocks to make them more distinguishable.
9. Optimized the initial state of creating the head map.
