Gallery New Assets, Changes, and Bug Fixes:
One of the big QA passes was to make sure joint orientation was consistent within classes. This may cause items to act differently in older projects but will make inheriting procedures far more reliable.
Browsing for MyClasses in the gallery now shows you .a3c files and remembers the directory you selected a class from (it will use the parent directory of the file)
