 # Version History
 <hr/>
 
-## Version 1.1
+## Version 1.2.0.0
+* Increase OCR image accuracy by raising image DPI before analysis.
+* Added (very experimental) Asobo A320 and FlybyWire A320NX profiles as testing sample. These profiles do only work 100% of the time. Continue investigation into better OCR accuracy will be needed.
+* Added profile dropdown sorted by profile name.
+* Fixed an issue of unable to set or reset panel to NOT ALWAYS ON TOP
+* Fixed application path issue for not able to find ocrdata.json file at startup.
+* Removed MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager is always on top (not the actual in-game panels themselves). Now it is only always on top during development debug mode if you compile and run the application from source code.
+
+## Version 1.1.0.0
 * Added caption title for the "untitled" windows. After analysis, if the panel window matches the name in the profile/ocr definition file, it will now display a caption of "Custom - XXXXX" (ie. Custom - PFD). This allows user to use various 3rd party windows layout manager to organize pop out panel windows.
 * Added hide panel title bar feature.
 * Added ability to have pop out panels to be always on top.
 * Added minimize application to tray feature.
 * Made application flow more intuitive.
-* Fix various small bugs in the application.
+* Fixed various small bugs in the application.
