A-Shell Development History

1217.4.1

INPUT CSV refinement: the auto-detection of the delimiter character (see 1215.0.13 below) now chooses the most common delimiter character (outside of quotes) on the entire first line, rather than settling for the first delimiter it finds.

1217.4.2

XTEXT refinement: The context menu Paste option now recognizes the existence of a bitmap on the clipboard (if the destination format supports it). Previously it only recognized the availability of text.

1217.2.1

Bug fix: MX_MAPI was not handling multiple attachments very well, and was sometimes generating a spurious error -7 even with one attachment.

1217.2.2

Bug fix: MX_ABOUT called within a locally-licensed ATE instance was generating a spurious file open error dialog. (Mainly noticed in the print screen routine.)

1217.2.3

Bug fix: When an INFLD call was interrupted by another SBX (launched from the menu, such as the print screen utility), certain attributes of the current field (type, tooltip) were getting corrupted on return.

1217.2.4

ATE refinement: When connecting to an ATSD server, the login name and password fields may now be used, either together or individually, along with the additional login text. Previously, it was mainly only reliable to enter all of the login information in the additional text box, which defeated the password masking feature, at least in the configuration dialog).

1217.0.1

Server now notifies ATE of current program and version (used by the print screen utility.)

1217.0.2

The print screen interface has been re-engineered to eliminate the need to launch it in a separate instance, making it leaner and cleaner.

1217.0.3

IMPORTANT BUG FIX: 5.1.1209.6 broke the automatic cleanup of local DIMX variables, causing another memory handle to be used up on execution of a DIMX within a function or procedure. This easily led to an out-of-memory handles or out-of-memory error.

1217.0.4

INFLD bug fix: pasting from clipboard into a combo box was causing flaky results, including locking up the field.

1217.0.5

INFLD new type code: ||K acts just like |K (Windows keyboard conventions) but also disables the Ctrl+C abort while the field is active. This allows you to use Ctrl+C for copy-to-clipboard without first having to disable Ctrl+C abort in the application.

1217.0.6

INFLD improvement: The standard keyboard commands for selecting characters (Ctrl+A, Shift+Arrows, Shift+Home, Shift+End) now work in combo boxes.

1217.0.7

License display bug fix: In some cases the display of license options (mainly under UNIX) was containing garbage characters in place of an unset option.

1217.0.8

MX_MAPI bug fix: The routine was aborting with a spurious error -7 (file not found) in cases where only one attached file was specified.
