MRE-2519, MRE-2565	Packages for export may now be linked to a project so that only documents and tags in the project may be added to the package. If a master document is added to the project and a project copy of it already exists, the project copy is added to the package instead.
MRE-2521, MRE-2522	When packages are exported, the server now performs the following in the background: Creates project copies in the source vault of any master documents in the package. If the package is linked to a project in the vault, the project copies are locked to the project if the publishing job is configured to do so. Synchronizes the project copies from the vault to the Meridian Explorer repository. Replaces any master documents in the package with the project copies. Sends the package to the destination system. If any documents fail to export, the package status changes to Failed and a warning icon is shown for the failed files.
MRE-2544	Hyperlinks to the destinations of exported packages and their transmittal sheets are now saved by Meridian Explorer and shown in the package properties.
MRE-2581	Meridian Portal users may now create export packages in Meridian Explorer and export them if they have the Send packages permission or if not, request the package, which can be sent by another user with the permission. Revisions to the documents can be uploaded to packages that can be automatically imported back into the source vault. For more information, see Administration improvements.
