## Source excerpt

This weekend we pushed out an update that also included new versions of the GUI builder and the designer. We didn't update the plugins but we still think it warrants the 4.1 version moniker even though we don't support it in versioned builds. Due to one of the enhancements we added in this update we had a regression in command behavior that we fixed with an update within a few hours.
