SUMMARY OF ISSUES ADDRESSED

1. Decimal separators that are not a dot would cause unexpected results for property mapping in non ENU applications.
2. Date formatting was not being honored in non ENU applications.
3. Importing a Vault configuration would fail when a referenced content source provider does not exist in the Vault.
4. Change State restriction exposed the name of file to which a user had no access permission.
5. When Assigning an item, files checked in from a non ENU client, using a comma decimal symbol, using mapped UDP to File and Item Categories, resulted in an Error 155.
6. Solved an issue where selecting the Uses tab would result in a Vault Explorer crash for certain assemblies.
7. When attempting to edit properties on DWF or ZIP files, the fields were greyed out and not editable.
8. Fixed a performance problem when gathering 'release biased' file associations when 'include related documentation' is specified. This sometimes resulted in Inventor Open From Vault on a previous version to fail.
9. Require Inventor users to select a numbering scheme or file name in a certain scenarios (example; creating symmetry and mirroring) to prevent an Inventor crash.
10. Inventor would crash when closing drawing files after adding "Document settings" button to the Quick Access Toolbar.

    3. Solved running Job processor with Windows Authentication credentials.

2. <add name="LogFileDownloadsBooleanSwitch" value="1"/>
14. Logging in from Vault 2014 Client and 2013 Client at the same time and with the same username would consume 2 licenses.
