More Details:
Between the LV8.6 and LV2011 releases, the vision module grew by over 5MB. Many of those new features, and some of the existing ones were more for machine inspection than for robotics. The imaging tool installs the smaller, more stripped down, version of IMAQ on the 8-slot, and the complete edition on the 4-slot. There are some additional differences besides vision as well.

I don't have a complete list of what was removed, but we did our best to leave in a rich set for robotics applications. We received no negative feedback during beta, but if we discover that a feature is badly needed, we'll do our best to recompose it again.

Greg,
Would you be able to help to provide a list of what the differences between the 8 slot and 4 slot installation or is there a way for teams to determine this? This would be useful to document for the teams that are using LabVIEW this year.
