Summary of What's New

• Fixed an issue where, in certain situations, a document window can get stuck showing a loading message.
• In some cases (when a project is located under a solution folder) you may see an error when saving the project. The project would get saved but you would see an error about unable to cast a COM object. This issue is now fixed so the error is no longer displayed.
