New in ImageJ 1.52u (Apr 15, 2020)

ROI enhancements, thanks to Michael Schmid
Line and point selections have integer coordinates at pixel centers when displayed at high magnification. Area selections have integer coordinates at the top-left corner of pixels.
All interactively created ROIs, except rectangles and ovals, are created with subpixel resolution when the magnification is above 150%.
Removed the "Sub-pixel resolution" option from the Edit>Options>Plots dialog.
The Line to Area command is faster and more accurate
The Straighten command is more accurate.
The Image>Info command displays more information about ROIs.
Long-click to select ROIs from overlays now also works with lines.
The Measure command uses Line to Area instead of Straighten to get statistics from segmented and freehand lines with a width geater than one.
Fixed a bug that could (rarely) cause an exception during "wipe back" when drawing a polygon or polyline. In "wipe back" mode, the mouse behaves like an eraser when moved backwards with alt key down.

Added the Help>Examples>JavaScript>Overlay Text example.
Thanks to Laurent Thomas, added a "Install Keypad Shortcuts" command to the ROI Menu tool. Add
call("ij.plugin.MacroInstaller.installFromJar", "/macros/RoiMenuTool.txt+");
to the Edit>Options>Startup dialog to have the shortcuts automatically installed on startup.
Thanks to Laurent Thomas, the commands in the ROI Menu tool and the "Group" setting in the ROI Manager's Properties dialog are recordable.

Fixed a 1.51e regression that caused the "Auto" buttion in the Brightness/Contrast dialog to not increase contrast with repeated clicks.
Plot enhancements, thanks to Michael Schmid:
Plots saved as tiff or zip include the data, so the plot range can be modified (zooming, etc.) and the data can be listed after loading the plot from a file.
Changing the axis or label font size of a plot keeps the image size constant and modifies the plot frame size (previously, the plot frame size was constant).
Slightly more space for numbers at the left, enough for scientific notation. ImageJ switches to a smaller font if more significant digits are required.
Added Plot.getFrameBounds(x, y, width, height) macro function.
The default font for plots is now Arial, not Helvetica (Arial is available on more platforms).
When opening a plot on a computer where a given font is not available, try to replace fonts by similar ones. This should make the appearance on different platforms more similar.
The ImageProcessor getStringWidth() and getStringBounds() methods use the more accurate GlyphVector class.

Michael Schmid contributed a greatly improved Plot class with many new features (demo macro):
Plot windows can be resized.
Use Image>Zoom>View 100% or More>>Reset Format to revert to the size defined in Edit>Options>Profile Plot Options.
Image>Zoom>In, or the '+' key, zooms in (both x&y) and Image>Zoom>Out, or the '-' key, zooms out.
Put the cursor below the x axis to zoom in/out horizontally and put it left of the y axis to zoom in/out vertically.
With the cursor below or left of the plot, arrows appear, which can be clicked on to to shift the limit.
With a selection, the '+' key, Image>Zoom>In and Image>Zoom>To Selection set the data range to the selection.
Image>Zoom>Original Scale reverts to the original data range.
Image>Zoom>Scale to Fit sets the scale to fit all data.
Use the hand tool (or drag with the space bar down) to shift the display range.
Select whether axes should have ticks, grids etc. in More>>Axis Options.
Adjust the font size in More>>Axis Options or in Profile Plot Options (for future plots).
Plots can now have a legend, and with "Legend Position" set to "Auto", the legend tries to not cover any data.
You can create a high-resolution (publication-quality) version of a plot by using the More>>High-Resolution Plot command.
