===PEMs===
 
Version 4.5.3 fixes an issue that prevented PEMs from being displayed on some older enclosure files, and an automated test was added to prevent it from recurring.
 
===U Shape enclosures===
 
With Version 4.5.3, U Shape enclosures are given thinner nuts when the metal demands them.
 
===Cutout Library===
 
===Creating a cutout in the Cutout Library===
 
Version 4.5.3 fixes the issue introduced in Version 4.5 in which, after creating a cutout in the Cutout Library, when you clicked '''Accept and Close''', the cutout appeared to have been deleted.
 
  
Version 4.5.2 fixes the issue in which hiding non-stock PEMs in the Cutout Library caused several problems (including previews not displaying, cutouts not storing correctly, and PEM dialog problems). These issues were fixed by returning the visibility of the non-stock items. The items will be hidden again in a future release.
