Warriors,


The Beta 5.0 IDE now incorporates fixes for the several causes of 
''Rescued Items'' for which we had reproducible test cases.

These are the cases that were fixed:

1) a project containing two entries with the same name, but
resolving to distinct files no longer coalesces the two into
one when both files are missing. (Only to be rescued when the
project is later opened with both files findable.)

The canonical example is a library file appearing in the project 
twice with one entry a Debug instance and the other Release.  

Duplicate entries continue to be coalesced when they resolve to the 
same (existing) file and a log entry now reported for each coalesced 
project file.

2) a error in the handling of not-currently-valid source trees has been 
corrected and no longer leads to a Rescued Item

3) removing a project entry from a target using the COM interface now 
updates the GUI preventing a potential Rescued Item

4) deleting the last target of a project no longer reverts to an
incomplete earlier state which would cause a Rescued Item.


Since these fix all known reproducible cases, if you encounter another
way to create a Rescued Item (especially with the 5.0 IDE), please send 
it in.  Of course, good test cases greatly appreciated.

Thanks, we can't fix them if we don't know about them. :)
