Errors in this release

  • Minor: Manage Files > Viewing Text file. The right-click context menu causes an error. This error is fixed in the binaries below.
  • Under some circumstances REFI Project import won't work ( due to a missing utf8 encoding line). (Now fixed in current code, for subsequent release).
  • Under some circumstances REFI project export (text coding) contains invalid XML. (Now fixed in current code, for subsequent release).
  • ODT files may not import. Quick solution - open with LibreOffice or MS Word and save as plain text file, then import the plain text file.
