February 20, 2026 - 5.1.0 Stable Release Notes
----------------------------------------------

QtPyVCP includes fixes to improve MDI queue behavior during feedhold and
cycle-start resume scenarios. The result is a more reliable recovery path for
queued MDI execution, especially when pause/feedhold states occur during active
queue processing.

Summary of updates
------------------

- Improved MDI issue flow to avoid unnecessary mode switching when already in MDI mode.
- Updated program run eligibility to allow valid MDI resume/feedhold recovery paths.
- Refined MDI history queue scheduler gating to better handle paused/feedhold execution states.
- Added safer queue dispatch failure handling to prevent stale "running" queue-row state.
