I am a little fatigued downloading and installing but I just downloaded 728 and will install and try out.

With 727, save as took 42 seconds. With 728, save as took 42 seconds , BUT the second save as with 728 only took 28 seconds, as did a resave. The file is a box cut from a 4 foot long board with multiple pockets, contours, and 15 toolpaths (some disabled). Unfortunately, I dont know if 727 would have gone quicker if I did a second save as. I actually had gotten used to the long saves and they no longer concerned me, just had to be patient and let it complete.
I just did another open of the original file with 728 and a new save as (different name) and it only took 5 seconds!!
And now 3 seconds!

I downloaded 728 and created a new project. This is not a really complicated project but the save only took a couple of seconds. My new laptop is an i7 with 16gb memory and SSD drive.

I’ve used the “Save As” several times on my Mac, no problems at all.

Nice!!! Backward, but welcomed 
IF you have three vectors selected and go into the Boolean menu, you have both B-A and A-B available — but that only allows you two of the three possible results. Did you mean to allow >2 items to allow boolean subtraction? If so, you need some way of cycling through the items to make each one the key item…
I like the CTRL-Drag for Rectangles…will you be doing the same for Circles soon? Polygons? Etc…
Yeah. We were afraid to change the default behavior but maybe it’s better to rip the band-aid off and make it match other programs.
We did mean to allow it. Cycling through selection would be too complicated so, if A-B and B-A for more than two vectors is a problem, we’d probably just limit the subtraction to only two elements.
Probably. (Almost certainly)

Don’t take anything away…
Of course, my idea of a “Change Key Vector” button would have handled it…but…just sayin’
Just here to leave a very big ’ thumbs up’! for the new software versions!
After I haven’t been able to tinker with carbide 3d for way to long I finally did an update today and have a very positive first impression. Keep it up that way
