Hi All,

A new version of Continua CI has been uploaded and is available from [Continua CI Downloads](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/continuaci). Note that the latest stable version of Continua CI is [1.9.0.151](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/continuaci/continua-ci-version-history-v19). This version is released to support users running on older operating systems prior to Windows Server 2008R2 and 32-bit operating systems.

- Fix: Removed duplicate Utils text in Version Format expression suggestions.
- Fix: Improvement to repository recovery if an error occurs while saving changesets.
