Release notes:
What's New in this Maintenance Update:

• Enhanced handling of parallel track pieces in functions that create a grade to the selected track and grade a section of connected tracks.

• The enhanced Element Properties inspector now also displays grade or angle values for multiple items, when all tracks share common settings.

• New base textures have been added for the 3D mode, and an issue with track base texture rendering on specific Mac systems has been addressed.
