v8.3.0

Not sure if this one's a bug or an inadvertent change from a bug fix...  
But I noticed that in v8.3, making changes to script libraries no longer take affect inside the script console until you save the project. I'm sure in 8.1 you didn't have to save the project, as this is how I would test some functions without saving until I was happy

Yes, it looks like this unintentionally regressed; you're not the first person to notice:

> In version 8.1.x I was able to modify script libraries in the designer and run my changes in the designer script console without having to save the project. In version 8.3 I must save the project before the designer script console can run the edited scripts. It was nice during development to not have to save the entire project for a small test edit to a script library. Was this a “feature” (bug) in 8.1 that was fixed in 8.3?

We'll get it fixed.
