The day before Thanksgiving I posted about the upcoming release of 7.1 (and the next update for Clarion.Net), and I wrote that we expected to make it within 2 weeks.\u00a0 In that same post I mentioned we’d be closed for a long (for us) 4 day break over the holiday.\u00a0 Well it seems some people took that 2 weeks literally to mean 14 consecutive days, and not the next 2 working<\/em> weeks. Ahem, even our developers take a day off now and then… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We are in final closedown for the 7.1 release, we planned to have it ready by this Friday (and that would be within the 2 working weeks!), but there is a chance it’ll have to go out on the following week. Why?\u00a0 Well there were a few “hot topics” brought to our attention last week and we decided to tackle 2 of them. So if you don’t get a notification of the 7.1 release this Friday, just relax over the weekend and look forward to getting 7.1 early next week. The same applies for the Clarion.Net release!<\/p>\n

Here is what we’ve been working on these last 2 weeks, and indeed some of these items did consume a bit of extra time (the first 2 items were the “hot topics” I was referring to)<\/p>\n

WORKAROUND: The OS could position some Menu items outside the screen boundary if there were sufficient number of items to cause a multi-column overflow
\nFEATURE: You can now set if the Copy Referenced Dlls to Output Directory defaults to On or Off via the Tools\/Options\/Clarion\/General tab
\nFEATURE: The PRIVATE attribute is now allowed for TYPE declarations<\/p>\n

CHANGE:\u00a0 Better error message when an included project cannot be found during a make
\nCHANGE:\u00a0 When you associate the C7 IDE with .app files, the .app files now get an appropriate icon displayed in Windows
\nCHANGE: FILEs declared within a Procedure are now Private data to that Procedure
\nCHANGE: Menu style now takes into account dimensions of particular item defined in MENU\/MENUBAR declaration or set at run time (in latter case PROP:NoWidth and\/or PROP:NoHeight must be set to FALSE)
\nCHANGE: Post a warning if window\/report parser changed some control definition because a variable used as a attribute’s parameter does not exist anymore
\nCHANGE: Warning if PRIVATE and PROTECTED are used incorrectly
\nCHANGE: private queue types in abfile.clw are now marked private to take advantage of the updated clw compiler and reduce the number of duplicate symbols possible
\nCHANGE: renamed internal class used in the Query control QEIPManager to QueryQEIPManager because it was duplicated with the public method with the same name.<\/p>\n

FIX:\u00a0 %ApplicationExternalLibrary was returning the wrong value if you edited the project properties of an app, but did not set the model (ie left it at the default value of dll)
\nFIX:\u00a0 An exception would be thrown by the data pad if you copied a field and then tried to paste it into an empty local data list
\nFIX:\u00a0 Not all compilers were registered if you created a new C6 version
\nFIX:\u00a0 The Data pad could throw an exception if you tried to add a Queue to local data
\nFIX: Aboop.tpw: Incorrect declaration of a variable for the return value was generated if the procedure return type in the prototype was ? or *?
\nFIX: Avoid auto-#RELEASE on emitting unconditional source lines
\nFIX: Setting of PROP:NoHeight and PROP:NoWidth properties for menu items worked not as documented.
\nFIX: Source Editor – Search\/Replace would fail for various conditions
\nFIX: The ISAM file imports would not work if you had a file with a . in the name.<\/p>\n

PTSS 32051: Suppress Windows internal repainting of the button upon changing its text
\nPTSS 33701: Clarioncl would some times fail to register templates if multiple \/tr switches where supplied on the command line
\nPTSS 33804: Lookup table must be updated first before record validation
\nPTSS 34190: GROUP and OPTION controls cannot be selected themselves but they provide defaults for selected text and background colors to nested controls
\nPTSS 34226: Current build configuration was not being passed so the %ApplicationDebug symbol was not setup correctly
\nPTSS 34563: Show warning if WINDOW with TOOLBOX\/DOCK\/DOCKED attributes has the MDI attribute too
\nPTSS 34600: Changing of variable name in the Data Pad was not reflected in changes to attributes of WINDOW\/REPORT controls using that variable as a parameter
\nPTSS 34605: The window previewer would not work with ENTRY controls that had @P or @K pictures
\nPTSS 34631: Designers might not be available in plain embed editor
\nPTSS 34643: Implementation of drawing of themed borders for RTF controls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
