- NEW - #8387 - A Disable Touch option added to Options menu to prevent the touch mode from activating. 

- NEW - #8388 - Show Tooltip option added under View menu.  In GTViewer 15 and before, it was only available on toolbar (and has been removed from the toolbar).

- NEW - #8387 - The Display Manager Feature tab will use the Category Groups and will toggle between feature or component's state when the Display Manager started and Off.  It allows you to toggle between what you had and off versus possibly turning components off and not being able to get them back to their default setting without using the Default or Reset button.

- NEW - #8388 - The Display Manager will show Category Thresholds on the Full Category List View mode and Filter Thresholds on the Filter List View mode.

- NEW - #8389 - The Display Manager now uses an icon to show the state of an item instead of highlighting the whole line.  This change makes it easier to read and cleans up the display a bit.
