• Support for named resources in ASP embedded script code (in C#, VB.NET but not Javascript).
  
• Separate template files for the MLString module for Web Sites and Web Applications.
  
• Place MultiLang.resx in the root directory of Web Applications (wheras it is places in the App_GlobalResources subdirectory for Web Sites).
  
• Improved handling of some functions with named resources, for example the "Select a different String ID" function.
  
• New command Delete Resource in the context menu on the Additional resources tab, which is only enabled when the resource is not used elsewhere.
  

• Additional error checking reading named resources.
  

• Prevent grid entering edit mode in cells which should not be editable.
  
• New optional method to translate plain HTML text added, using direct access to named global resources.
  

• Minor bug fix
  

• The version of the Add-In for Visual Studio 2010 is now registered for Visual Studio 2012 as well.
  

• Bug fix generating resource names for strings which differ only in their case.
  

• Bug fix handling forms where the class name and the file name are not identical.
  

• Modified code generation in the function ml_UpdateControls() if named resources are used.
  
• Bug fix with incorrect prefix (namespace and class) for named resources in new projects, in particular C# web projects.
  

• Bug fix fabricating a resource name for a text containing no alphanumeric characters.
  
• Bug fix using the dialog filter by regular expressions from the tools menu (not the context menu).
  
• Bug fix in search next and search previous functions.
  

• Bug fix clicking on line in the controls grid, belonging to a Windows Form in a WPF project.
  

• Bug fix updating .rc file for MFC/Unmanaged C++ projects. Strings which have been disabled in the resources tab should nevertheless be exported to the STRINGTABLE.
  

• Minor fix for the unusual case of having multiple forms in a single file.
  

• Fix to selecting or deselecting multiple items in an ASP file. In particular fixes a bug deselecting all items on removing multi-language support from the project.
  

• Minor fix to ignoring or rescanning ASP code behind files.
  

• Minor fix to behaviour if the neutral culture is added to the global database (although this should in fact never happen!).
  

• Fix behaviour on clicking on a component node for an ASP page. Previously this always caused the module to be rescanned.
  

• Bug fix identifying which resx files are global and which are local in the sense of being associated with a single form or user control.
  

• Bug fixes maintaining and checking the position of strings in ASP files, so that changes are made at the correct position in the file.

• Fix error saving translations to the global database immediately after deleting one of the required languages from the global database.

• Minor bug fix in goto line function.
  

• Check for empty resource name after it has been edited in the additional resources tab.
  

• Attribute support fixed.
  

• If you change the option for "named resources" or "ml_string" in the project properties dialog, you will now be given the option to change the current usage in your project. i.e. to replace all calls to ml_string() with named resources, or vice versa.
  
• .rc file export now recognizes RT_RIBBON_XML (or the numeric value 28) and CODE resources.
  

• Additional error checking for duplicate resource names.
  

• Bug fix restoring source code grid from the project database.
  

• Template file for project database in SQL-Compact format updated for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 versions, to allow texts with up to 4000 characters (previously 400).
  
• Additional error checking in the function CloneStringID().
  
• Modified logic to determine the namespace to be used with named resources for web projects.
  

• Changes for MFC/Unmanaged C++
  
  • .rc file scan will detect dialogs and menus resources defined for languages other than the original language. (Only one definition of each dialog or menu resources is scanned, but they are now taken in the order of precedence: Original language, Neutral language, Other languages.)
    
  • New dialog to select the original language, showing the languages defined in the .rc file.
    
  • New project option to suppress generation of the satellite DLL for the original language.
    
• Minor improvement to error checking in XAML file scan.
  

• Minor error checking ignoring modules.
  

• Improved logic to detect neutral language resource files.
  

• Corrections to the logic of the Text is used a multiple places and Select different String ID dialogs for handling named resources.
  

• Default source code option is "named resources" for new projects (as before), but is now "ml_string()" for old projects.
  

• Fix bug which caused the ASP design window to be shown on selecting a text for translation.
  
• Minor additional error checking.
  

• Support for named resources (as an alternative to the ml_string() function) in C# and VB.NET projects.
