v4.0.30-beta (dev branch)

IMPORTANT - Work in Progress

This version of the add-in was built from the dev branch, and contains the latest features currently under development. You are welcome to use this for testing or production use, depending on your needs. If you decide to use the dev version in production, please do your own testing to ensure you are getting the desired output for exported source and builds.

If you are building the dev branch from source, you will need version 4.* or newer to successfully build the add-in. (You can build v3 with v4, but you can't build v4 with v3.) In other words, you need this beta version to build the dev branch for the first time.
