Bug Fix: In previous versions of Vault 3, if some obscure characters were inserted into the document and the document was saved, the document could not be subsequently opened. I recommend installing this update at your earliest convenience.

By default, Vault 3 now automatically checks for updates every seven days. You can enable or disable this feature in the Options / Settings dialog.

There is now a GUI for inserting web and file:/// URLs. Once a URL has been inserted, you can right-click it to browse to it in the default web browser (if it's a web link), or launch it using the default application (if it's a file:/// url).

Users can now edit photo files using an external image editing program.

You can now use Ctrl+Ins to copy text in the text window.

Vault 3 is now built with Eclipse version 3.5.
