did not update the comment text on the "Dialog Visualizer"
until you went to another screen and came back.
FIX : [SB#708171] Compiler: In the Releases feature, the compiler
was unable to resolve compiler variables for the Output
Directory ([OUTPUTDIR]).
FIX : [SB#708211] Compiler: The "Readme" and "License Agreement"

the Variables list never got updated.
FIX : [SB#708232] Installer: Under certain circumstances, a
successful call to the "Get File Information" script function
did not reset the %_SB_ERRORCODE% variable.

with an error if the application in which to embed a
Vista-aware manifest already included a manifest.
CHANGE : IDE: "Save As..." dialog displays the current project file
name in the File Name field.
CHANGE : IDE: The default zip folder for "Tools | Create Zip Archive..."
is the My Documents folder now.
CHANGE : [SB#709231] IDE: Changed "Path Name" text to "File Name" in the

"File Name" field.
