• There are now separate VSIX package installers for Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015 and later. This is required due to the new VSIX 3 format needed by Visual Studio 2017.

• The VSIX package installers now run interactively for removing and installing the packages due to the Visual Studio 2017 version's insistence on shutting down all running Visual Studio processes before installing the package content.

• Added a FAQ entry about the BuildAssembler unresolved reference link warning and how to suppress it.

• Added a FAQ entry describing how to add a logo file to a help file builder project.

• Fixed the member naming option to ignore pipe characters which can occur in some F# member names and updated the VB syntax generators to handle F# properties with no return type.

• Fixed GenerateInheritedDocs so that it only uses System.IDisposable or System.Object as the base type from which to inherit type documentation as a last resort. Preference is given to user-defined types and interfaces instead.

• Fixed the extended XML comments IntelliSense support so that it does not incorrectly complete the selection when typing "</".

• Removed spaces and punctuation characters from the display text of the custom completion IntelliSense option names which were causing issues with selection.

• Merged changes from Sam Harwell that fix a bug that was preventing use of the arrow keys to scroll the selections in the XML comments IntelliSense popup window.

• Thanks to Christoph Lindemann for providing build task changes that enable support for dynamic property values at build time. See the Using Dynamic Properties topic for more information.

• Fixed the code colorizer rules for XML to handle inline script elements (<% ... %>) in HTML code snippets and HTML element attributes that are missing attribute values.

• Added h1 tags to the topic titles in the VS2010 and VS2013 styles so that they are more search engine friendly.

• Thanks to Jose Deboni for providing Portuguese (pt-BR) resource item file translations.

• Thanks to xinfli for providing Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) resource item file translations.

• Thanks to sakasita001 for providing a fix to the Japanese (ja-JP) resource item file translations.
