A-Shell Development History

1559.0

Revise

DYNLIB.SBR / AXL update: supports latest versions of LibXL library.

1558.9.1

Fix

Close a bad pointer loophole in the licensing logic.

1558.9.2

Fix

Minor refinement to the XTREE tracing relating to the Diff unpack.

1558.8

Fix

CGIUTL: the HTML unescape routine was converting "<" characters after the first one to "[" as an ill-advised defense against HTML injection hacks. (It falls back on your application to be careful not to send potentially dangerous HTML sequences back to the browser.) Same patch in 6.5.1564.2.

1558.7

Fix

Server-side ATE-related INFLD bug fix: ^C was getting disabled on the server with TYPE ||K|G.

1558.6

Fix

EZTYP bug fix: in files where the last line started with a control character and did not end with a LF, it was possible to drop a line from the display by scrolling to the bottom of the file and then up and down again. Same fix as in 6.5.1655.1.

1558.5

Fix

//IMAGE: when the coordinates were specified as 0,0,0,0 (for the full page), in some cases, particularly with APEX, it was failing to render the image and reporting a "bad range" error instead. Same patch as 6.5.1651.9.

1558.4

Revise

XTEXT/ATSD server-side: increase the timeout period for waiting on the client to send the updated buffer. Some slow clients or networks were causing the XTEXT update to abort prematurely due to timeout.

1558.3

Fix

Compiler edit 837.4: the /PX switch was resulting in a variety of spurious errors, including duplicate MAP statements. Problem introduced in 1557.7.

1558.2.2

Revise

AUI_EVENTWAIT refinement: static 'buttons'—i.e. static controls with the MBF_KBD flag set so they act like clickable buttons—are now compatible with the EVW_EXCDFOCUS flag if the MBF_TABSTOP flag is also set. Same patch as 6.5.1647.1.

1558.2.1

New

Command line switch -ntts added; has same effect as OPTIONS=NTTS. Reverse migrated from 6.5.1639.0.

1558.1

Fix

AUI_EVENTWAIT: down arrow was advancing to next control before generating the exitcode when EVW_VAREXIT flag used. Same patch as 6.5.1642.2.

1558.0.3

Fix

SYSTAT.LIT 3.2(131) closes a timing loophole in which it would report as zombies or phantoms jobs that were actually just in the process of shutting down normally.

1558.0.2

Fix

UNIX: close a rare timing loophole during shutdown of a session in which it was possible for an event handler to try to read the jobtbl.sys file after it had already been closed. This resulted in "!RLOCK" error messages in the log which, at the very least, alarming, and in some cases the job may have ended up in a zombie state instead of cleaning exiting.

1558.0.1

Fix

AUI_IMAGE: JPG images were ignoring the flags (e.g. stretch). Problem introduced in 6.4.1557.4.
