  • Improved Improved the integrated Help window and other HTML-based screens
  • Improved Internal code improvements to several custom actions, plus minor improvements
  • Fixed Fixed a crash (access violation) that could occur when closing Paquet Builder after a WebView-based window, such as the Help browser, had been used during the session
