+   :local:
+
+This is a patch release that corrects some significant issues since :ref:`version 6.9.0 <v6.9.0>`.
+
+The changes are:
+
+ - A fix to stop workbench freezing when plotting data from a workspace which is changing (e.g plotting live data)
+ - Removed slit lookup that was specific to OFFSPEC in :ref:`algm-ReflectometryReductionOneLiveData` as it is no longer required and was causing regular crashes when running live data on OFFSPEC.
+ - Fixed a bug in :ref:`Elwin Tab <elwin>` of :ref:`Data Manipulation Interface <interface-inelastic-data-manipulation>` where changing integration range with the sliders did not change default integration range.
+ - Add sample log values to the live data workspace before the instrument is loaded in :ref:`algm-ReflectometryReductionOneLiveData` to ensure log values are available when setting the detector positions.
