This version upgrades and adds many new features, and also it corrects some issues it had in previous version 3.53.1:
•Fieldbus configuration support
WARNING: this version can apply some file version rescrictions, depending on your content.
WARNING: the settings of some parts of the UI present incompatibility between Qt4 and Qt5, so the passage of workspace files (or others) between v3.53.x and v3.52.x (and vice versa) involves the loss of such status information of the relevant UIs.
