2. PDFDevice

- Fixed issues related to regional settings that use a ','
as the decimal separator
- Fixed issue related to handling wmf images

4. EndUser Designer

- Using the TppDesigner.ShowComponents feature resulted in an AV

5. ReportExplorer

- When empty and the Save dialog can encounter a list index out of bounds
error when saving the first item.
- when an empty folder is selected the enable item options logic did not
fire.
This could result in items not being enabled and disabled properly.

- Searching on the string 'Select ' was mistaken for a sub-select
statement.



----> Enterprise <----------


5. RAP

- OnPageRequest RTTI was not defined
