Bug fixes
While navigating through paged results, if you select a result and then navigate back, you return to the first page of results instead of the current page.
An issue with the AXIOM Exporter was causing file locations to be displayed as the location in the case instead of the location in the evidence source.
In the chat thread view, clicking a message that has a media attachment would direct you to the details page for the media artifact and not the message.
URLs found in email bodies that were wrapped using " instead of " were not being blocked like other outgoing URLs.
In some cases, issues loading the mobile device dialog would prevent an evidence item's details from loading.
Some types of contacts that were available in previous versions were no longer showing up as results.
On the User Settings screen, the default settings are sometimes displayed even if the actual value is different.
