| 65528 | Crashes & Assertions » IDE Unhandled Exception | Selecting a Build Setting and then immediately pressing Backspace no longer raises an exception. Now nothing happens since Build Settings cannot be removed. |

| 66396 | Framework » Web | WebSession.Pages iterator no longer contains Nil references. |
| 54289 | Framework » Windows | DesktopListbox/DesktopCanvas: the new DoubleClicked event now happens upon MouseUp instead of MouseDown.

| 66120 | Framework » macOS | Vertical sliders on macOS 10.10 and 10.11 no longer crash/hang the app. |
| 66319 | Framework » macOS | Fixed the minimum width of the DateTimePicker control on macOS to 130 points, so it fully display the time components plus the date. |
| 66341 | Framework » macOS | Picture.ApplyMask no longer fails if the mask to apply is immutable. |
| 66424 | Framework » macOS | GraphicsPath.AddRoundRectangle no longer crashes when passed invalid corner height/widths, we now throw an InvalidArgumentException in this case. |
