Release Notes for QL-PAY 7.6.1

2026 July

QL-PAY 7.6.1 is the current Windows release of Quality Level - Pay Factor Analysis.

Highlights

- Updated QL-PAY 7 application package and custom installer.
- Uses a QL-PAY 7 database format.
- Supports importing sample set data, including QL-PAY 6 database import through the Sample Sets menu.
- Adds the Sample Set Selection Filter box. The filter narrows the visible sample set list as the user types, searching Contract Number, Item, Lot, Lab, Project Name, and Project Number.
- Includes property specification and test result workflows for sample sets.
- Includes reporting workflows for short analysis, pay factor, control charts, long analysis, single or paired sample set reports, sample set listings, grand summaries, and random sampling.

Important Packaging Note

QL-PAY 7 must be distributed with all files from the Release output folder. Do not distribute QLPAY.exe by itself. The application needs its configuration file, supporting DLLs, SQLite native folders, and XML6 folder.

Known Compatibility Notes

- QL-PAY 7 and QL-PAY 6 use different package structures.
- Existing QL-PAY 6 installation files, such as instQLPAY.exe, inau.exe, insu.exe, and the exeSrc folder, are part of the legacy QL-PAY 6 installer package and should not be used as the QL-PAY 7 production installer.
- The QL-PAY 7 custom installer embeds QLPAYRELEASE.zip and extracts that payload during installation.
