Fixed a problem where applying a master page containing grouped autoflow text frames could leave the resulting story locked.
Improved support for masters who inherit their autoflow thread from their based-on master.

Exporting a document as InDesign Interchange (INX) no longer causes a crash in CS2.
Fixed a problem where opening an INX or IDML-based document would produce duplicate copies of autoflow text frames.
Improved support for placing autoflow text frame snippets (from the desktop, a library, etc.).
When an autoflow frame on a document spread is selected, the Object menu now displays the thread's name with an asterisk suffix ("Autoflow Thread (Default*)", for example) if that particular autoflow thread has been orphaned (disconnected from the corresponding master thread).

Added full support for Adobe's INX format and CS4's new IDML format.
Added full scripting support.
Fixed a problem where manually linking an orphaned thread with an autoflow thread would incorrectly leave the resulting thread orphaned (leading to pages being added with seemingly extra text frames on them).

Added support for InDesign CS4.
Addressed an issue where pages weren't being added, when a normal paragraph character caused them to overflow. Now, a page is added whenever the story's last insertion point becomes overset, regardless of what pushed it into overflow.

The plug-in's registration information is now properly retained for all users. Previously, Windows XP and Vista users whose accounts had limited privileges were being asked for a serial number each time they started InDesign.

The front-to-back order ("z order") of linked autoflow master text frames is now preserved on new document pages.

Fixed a problem in InFlow 3 which was causing InDesign to crash during startup if no other Em product was installed and serialized (when not running in demo mode).
The master page text frames created by checking the New Document dialog's Master Text Frame option are now created with a content lock. (Keeping them empty prevents InFlow from getting confused in certain situations.)

Fixed a problem where auto-flow stories on manually inserted document pages were being locked.
Fixed a problem where the auto-flow property was being lost. Duplicating master spreads, duplicating document spreads and creating masters based on another master now properly preserve any extant auto-flow items.
Fixed a problem where duplicating a document spread could result in multiple auto-flow threads on the new spread.
Manually linking a text frame to the beginning of an existing auto-flow story no longer causes the story to lose its auto-flow property.

Fixed a problem that was preventing InFlow from replacing an existing auto-flow story's frames with the new master's auto-flow story's frames during a master page application. Instead, the existing frames were being orphaned and left on the page along with the new master's auto-flow frames. Now extant auto-flow frames are correctly replaced by the new master's auto-flow frames.
Note that you may need to "reset" pages created with previous versions of InFlow. To do this, first apply master "[None]" to your template's (or starting document's) first page, delete all frames left on that page and then re-apply the original master.

Added support for InDesign CS 2 (4.x release).
Added support for autoflow frames in groups.
Fixed a problem where pages weren't always being added when the overset condition was caused by a forced break (column, frame, page, etc.).
Fixed a problem where a text frame's story lock icon wasn't going away when the text frame was removed from the autoflow thread.
Fixed an incompatibility which was causing Xtags to place unanchored boxes incorrectly.

InFlow now silently fails to load if placed in InCopy CS's plug-ins folder since it duplicates InCopy's built-in autoflow machinery.
The "About" dialog entry in the InDesign and Help menus has been moved from an "About Plug-ins" sub-menu to an "About Em Software Plug-ins" sub-menu.

Added basic support for master page autoflow items inherited from a "based-on" master page. For example, if master B is based on master A and master A contains an autoflow text thread, then applying master B to a document page will also install A's autoflow text thread.
Fixed a problem which could potentially crash InDesign when using single page masters in a facing pages document.
Fixed a problem where a text frame would be orphaned on a new page if it was grouped with other another text frame in the same autoflow thread.
Text-on-path items may now be added to, or used as, an autoflow text thread.
Added grouped item support, so that any frames grouped with the autoflow text frame will be overridden (made editable) on document pages along with the autoflow text frame. This allows the use of "toe-hold" text frames when building catalogs with InData which will then be maintained by InCatalog.
