Fixes
- on Revit 2014 wasn’t correctly detecting Update2, preventing the Browser from opening if exactly Update 2 is installed (it worked for Update 3)
- will not crash Revit when a right-click menu is used in the “In-Project” mode.
- will not crash Revit when searching the content in the “In-Project” mode.
- would crash if a database was deleted from the admin dialog.
- would not allow the Browser to open if Update 3 had been installed for Revit 2014.
- type catalog reader can now read type catalogs that have 2 parameters with the same name which differ only by case.
- would cause Revit to crash if a remote database was selected, but there was not network connection available to the BIM List server. The crash would occur when it tries to check for updates (e.g. typically every 5 minutes)
- would lock open the family preview images that were shown in the browser window which would cause Revit to crash if a local database was deleted.
- Issue #5616, BIM List Admin and Browser window were not respecting group sort order
- would corrupt its database under some circumstances.
- was storing and displaying all Length parameter values only as inches, all the time. New version stores the values in the native units of the family when it was parsed (e.g. cm, mm).
- would throw an error when doing a simple search on the Walls tab
- can throw an error when placing a wall from “Wall Types in Project”
- no longer crashes 32-bit versions of Revit 2013 and some 64-bit versions
