A-Shell Development History

1425.9

Bug fix: Close a loophole allowing the PDFX5 driver to throw a memory fault when executing with the demo license.

1425.8

Compiler bug fix (edit 760): Variable names longer than 100 characters long were in some cases crashing the compiler. The maximum name length is supposed to be 256 characters.

1425.7

FLOCK bug fix/refinement: The memory allocation for the FLOCK cache now registers the name "FLKCACHE" in the log, which is useful when debugging memory handle use with the MALLOC TRACE. Close a memory leak whereby the cache was needlessly reallocated if FLOCK called within an SBX.

1425.6.1

XTREE/ATE refinement (server side): when using file mode for a multi-selection tree, previously it was transmitting the entire answer parameter. Now it transmits only the number of bytes needed for the specified rows.

1425.6.2

XTREE/ATE refinement: in the case described above, the ATE-side log was registering a warning message about buffer sizes. The warning and the underlying issue have been cleaned up.

1425.5

DIR.LIT 3.3(159) adds /MINSECS:# and /MAXSECS:# options to the existing /MINDAYS:# and /MAXDAYS:#.

1425.4

ATE refinement: when the transmission of a large response to the server is impeded by network congestion, the retry sequence is now more forgiving. Previously it gave up after 10 retries spaced some tens of milliseconds apart; now it keeps trying for several seconds.

1425.3

Bug fix/refinement: XTREE was converting quote characters within the data array to apostrophes. They are now preserved. This problem occurred only in the ATE environment, and the patch applies purely to the server side; no update needed for A-Shell or ATE clients.

1425.2

Bug fix: INFLD was using the wrong color pairs from INI.CLR in some situations—typically the update colors instead of the display or edit colors. The bug only affected non-GUI INFLD when INI.CLR defined. Introduced in 1375.0.

1425.1

Bug fix: The "." key on the number pad wasn't working within XTREE, when the NUMPAD_COMMA system option set. Introduced in 1422.4.

1425.0.1

Support new 6.3 PIC code format (XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX). The new PIC format is needed for certain extensions added in 6.3; it provides no benefits to 6.2 but is hereby supported just as a backwards capability convenience.

1425.0.2

ATSD.exe 6.2(110) supports new PIC format; minor internal updates.

1425.0.3

LICENS.LIT 2.4(133) supports new PIC, improved localization.
