From the ODNT History available on WB 4.30.025:

-Release build.
-Updated non-XP builds to fix scrollbar painting black in Office apps
-wbui.dll from 4.29l replaced.
-Refreshed non-XP builds for GDI usage in Office apps
-Tweaked handling for XP taskbar override

If you don''t have OD you may have missed SEVERAL 4.29 builds that fixed LOTS of little issues in WB. Those fixes are of course listed for each incremental release.
