### New Features

- None

### Know Issues

- In pmsm_foc_encoder_pic32_mk projects, overcurrent fault occurs at higher speeds in reverse direction with field weakening mode enabled.
- pmsm_foc_encoder_pic32_mk_mcm_mchv3 and pmsm_foc_encoder_pic32_mk_mcf_mchv3 application running on dsPICDEM MCHV-3 requires increasing bandwidth of the quadrature encoder signal filter to maintain signal integrity of quadrature sensor signals at higher motor speeds. Without these modifications, motor operation may fail at higher speeds.
  - Reduce the capacitance value of C25, C26 and C27 from 100pF to 10pF 50V NPO 0805
