A-Shell Development History

1413.4.1

XTREE/PCKLST/ATE (GUI mode) bug fix: passing a variable in place of the MMOCLR param that was shorter than the normal 14 bytes was opening the possibility of a parsing error in the command relayed to ATE. That could have had a variety of strange effects, typically causing it to not display properly or not wait for operator input. Note: the problem and fix were only on the server side.

1413.4.2

Compiler bug fix (edit 741) - compiler was failing to generate a syntax error for a .CLEAR <array> statement when the associative array specification was missing the parentheses, i.e.:

.CLEAR $A       ! syntax error

.CLEAR $A()     ! correct

This was resulting in an incorrect RUN file token sequence.

1413.3

Bug fixes in the new image file cacheing scheme; see 1412 below. It was causing an eventual overflow in the directory scanning stack—showing up in the ashlow as "dirstack overflow"—which may caused failure of isolated directory operations.

1413.2

PCKLST/XTREE bug fix: The ANSWER parameter wasn't being respected for setting the initial selection unless the advanced coldef option (XTF_COLDFX) was set.

1413.1

Add an FOPENS trace to help track an issue with the the directory scanning stack.

1413.0

New command line switch: -ua specifies "unattended mode". This is useful for running programs unattended but not fully in background. The main effect is to convert any message boxes which would otherwise require user input to trace messages in the debug message window or on the screen.
