What's New in VIPM 2010.0.2

Upgrade Notes

New and Changed Features

VI Package Builder (VIPB) Changes

• VI Package Builder no longer automatically saves your build spec as you edit it. You must explicitly save changes using the new "Save" button on the VIPB toolbar or from the new File>>Save menu option. You will now see a dirty dot (*) when there are unsaved changes. If you have unsaved changes when you close the VIPB windows, You will be prompted whether to save the changes.
• When you open the VI Package Builder window, the previously opened build spec is no longer opened automatically -- instead, a new/untitled build spec is opened. If you want to open the previously opened build spec, you now need to open it from the File>>Recent list.
