TUI 1.8.6 is available from the usual location
<http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/35m_operations/TUI-images/>
(Mac and unix versions now, Windows to follow).

Changes include:
• Slew window: reinstated the Stop button. It sends "axis stop", which  
will stop the telescope quickly but gently, thanks to the graceful  
handling of stop commands by Fritz' axis controllers.
• Slew window: hide the Calibrate panel, since it is not well set up  
for automated operation.
• Status window: display Calib and Guide offsets. Reordered two panels  
to improve readability.
• Nudger now nudges "on sky" for all offset types. Formerly  
Calibration and Guide offsets were simply added to the axis position.
• Added a new sound cue "Exposure Failed" sound, which is played if an  
exposure sequence fails. (Warning: Agile presently outputs "aborted",  
not "failed" when an exposure fails. A fix is in the works, but until  
it appears, Agile will NOT play this new sound cue.)

Plus a few bug fixes. See the Version History for details:
