Now tax is displayed as a separate row, and the sales row is without tax. A new preference has been added:

Admin Console > Preferences & Settings > Node Preferences > Reporting > XZOut > Report Settings
Select the preference if you want the sales row to display the combined sale and tax amount.

17957 Z-Out sequence advances when reversing reconciling Added a "Sequence" field to the ZOUT_CONTROL table. The Sequence field is populated when a ZOUT_CONTROL record is created and retains this sequence value so when report xml is generated/regenerated it does not advance sequence and uses stored value.

Code was changed for  removing 'All' option when closing the register i.e., register definitions(cashier, workstation, drawer or till) if they are checked as required before opening the register otherwise 'All' option is available.

Note: After opening a register with specific register definitions then the register must be closed with the same definitions. If you change, then open & close registers aren't linked together, this leads to data inconsistency which always shows a drawer open if you try to switch from 'structured' to 'unstructured' Z-out mode. User would need to use former Z-outs to find and close the open drawer.
