+
+**Bugfixes**
+
+* Fixed a bug with using the commonpath command in Python which will raise an error if the two
+  paths don't have a common root. This is particularly an issue on Windows where the paths can be
+  on different drives. The command was used in the project backup function, and has now been
+  replaced by a safer check. Issue #954.
