What's new in this version:

- Sped up large imports
- Restored the ability (from Zotero 4.0) to hold down a modifier key while dragging one or more items to the tag selector to remove tags
- Improved detection of invalid/dangerous data directory configurations
- Warn when the data directory is in Google Drive or OneDrive (in addition to Dropbox)
- Don't allow the Linked Attachment Base Directory to be set within the data directory
- Don't allow the data directory to be set to 'storage' or the Linked Attachment Base Directory

- Fixed a condition where local item changes wouldn't be uploaded until the next item edit after non-conflicting changes were merged
- Fixed a crash when opening the tag selector by dragging up if closed at startup
