Fixes released in Beta versions
Fixes are listed in order of Beta versions released since the last General Release (Version 4.4.8).
Erroneous "HomeDir" message
Version 4.4.9-Nov10 fixes an issue in which you could receive the erroneous message "HomeDir config.ReadConfig(): somedirectory".
Rackmounts
Version 4.4.9-Dec18 fixes an issue in which a rackmount lost any custom cover color set after upgrading to Version 4.4.6.
Brackets
Version 4.4.9-Dec18 fixes a defect in which the Face Editor displayed brackets flipped on the X axis; brackets with PEMs were not displayed in the Face Editor.
Silkscreening
Version 4.4.9-Jan12 fixes an issue in which some colors in bitmaps were not detected for silkscreening if the red and green components were similar to the background but the blue component was not. Also fixed was a defect in which screws added to a design caused a drawing error on silkscreened items.
DXF files
With Version 4.4.9-Feb04, the DXF cutout import function has been improved, and layers are now supported.
L-shaped enclosures
Version 4.4.9-Mar06 fixes an issue in which previously designed and saved L-shaped enclosures would drop any cutouts that were on the bottom panel.
Double-clicking filename to launch Designer
Version 4.4.9-Mar12 fixes an issue introduced in version 4.4.9-Jan06 in which, if an earlier version of Designer also existed on your system, then opening a Designer file by double-clicking the filename would launch the older version.
Display of 5-sided enclosures
Version 4.4.9-Mar12 fixes an issue in which notes and objects for 5-Sided enclosures were not displayed.
Error message for "homdir"
Version 4.4.9-Mar23 fixes an issue in which, upon launching Designer on some computers, a message about "homedir" was displayed unnecessarily.
Grouped objects
Version 4.4.9-Mar23 fixes an issue in which the Face Editor did not display grouped objects on some versions.
Rackmounts
In Version 4.4.9-Mar23, the option for Removable Front Cover was removed from rackmounts that did not have mounting ears.
Properties context panel
Version 4.4.9-Mar23 fixes an issue in which font tools were not fully displayed in the Properties panel.
Performance
Version 4.4.9-Mar23 fixes an issue in which some enclosures could take a very long time to open.
Special characters
Version 4.4.9-Mar23 fixes an issue in which certain special characters such as the degrees symbol were displayed improperly.

Unable to generate a quote

Digital Printing vs. Silkscreening
Version 4.4.9-May28 fixes a problem in which, when you updated a file with digital printing specified in it, it changed to silkscreening. With this version, you can fix the file by opening the face that has the graphics, then choose Silkscreen > Convert to Digital Printing and click the Accept button.
Tapped hole cutouts
Version 4.4.9-Jun19 fixes errors that caused incorrectly sized cutouts for tapped holes.
Error with the "Ask a Question" feature
Using the Help > Ask A Question command caused the following authentication error, particularly with Symantec Endpoint Protection. This was an error on the server side that was fixed in June 2015.
