Read the full release announcement here.

For those of you who have been working the the release candidates, here are the changes between Release Candidate 2 (build 18.2.69.2) and the full release (build 18.2.69.8):

Help

  • Added StrSplitToArray and StrJoinFromArray to the String Functions page in the Language Reference.
  • Updated fixed / implemented lists in What's New
  • Changed Support button to Forums and fixed various Home page links.


JavaScript Engine 18.2.21.112

  • Fixed a bug in the invoking view logic causing synchronization issues when using dialogs from a view running standalone (the DisplayView API).


Installation and Environment Guide

  • Updated Support section


FMAC / Flex.cfg

  • Fixed Bug 7092: HttpVerbAddrRequest and FindByRowIdExNoAutoFill are defined improperly in FMAC


DataDict.pkg

  • Fixed Bug 7093: DataDictionary's augmentation of FindByRowIdExNoAutofill is named wrong. It was supposed to do the OnPreFind/OnPostFind augmentation just like FindByRowId and FindByRowIdEx.


Examples

  • Updated order dates in all workspaces.


WebApp Admin

  • Fixed Bug 7091: The WebApp Administrator's Add a New WebApp wizard may think a Virtual directory exists when it does not.


Language Reference

  • Added information about the use of WebPublishFunction and WebPublishProcedure in subclasses.
  • Misc. edits.


Evaluation

  • Reset 60-day evaluation period.


Themes

  • Fixed an issue with the cWebTreeView for Df_Flat_Touch & Df_Flat_Desktop themes that where hiding the icons of selected items sometimes.


Developing Web Applications Help

  • Added cross-topic links (BT 6248).


Class Reference

  • Specified that columns are zero-based in grid and grid column piUpdateColumn and Prompt_Callback class members.
  • Added text pointing the reader to the appropriate Codejock docs to the remaining cCJxxx classes and class members that were missing this info.
  • Added doc for new OnPreSendSOAPRequest event and improved doc for FindNode, FindNodeList and psSelectionNamespaces.
  • Added more link to related methods to web navigation functions.
  • Updated doc for OpenDialog. MultiSelect_State from JT (bug # 6759 notes).
  • Added doc for new parameters for SetCookie that optionally support Secure and Http only cookies.
  • Misc. edits.


Studio Build 18.2.84

  • Fixed problem in the Code Explorer where Web Property modeling was broken.


Packages

  • Fixed cWebParentCombo not being properly disabled on constrained parent (reported by Raveen).
  • Fixed cCJGridColumn bug where Mask_Time columns could not be edited (BT 7086). When closing the edit, the value went empty.
  • Added OnPreSendSOAPRequest, to cClientWebService. It provides a “when all else fails” event that gets sent right before an http web service is sent allowing developers to see what is being sent (XML and HTTP data) and possibly change it.
  • Fixed a problem with the Date “Add” functions when a minus number leaves the value at zero.


Deployment Guide

  • Fixed issue with sample Registry settings for WebApps not being shown (reported by Oscar Mintegui).
  • Updated info on DataFlex Client Engine (still had lots of VDF references)
  • Removed 'Registry File Format' page and index entry. This contained only outdated information from very old Windows versions.
  • Changed references to specific Windows Server version to the more generic Windows.
  • Removed references to FlexCOM 1.


Examples

  • The sDfPreLoadedTheme in WebOrder was still pointing to Df_Web_Creme which now not the default theme anymore. Changed to Df_Flat_Desktop.


JavaScript Engine 18.2.21.111

  • Fixed a sizing bug of cWebGroup caused by CSS changes in 18.2. The cWebGroup was sizing itself too high causing itself or other controls to misalign or even clip.


Web Lookup Wizard

  • Fixed bug in cWebLookupWizard where selecting a fields to assign to DD prompts was raising an error (Row_Count message was commented out and not found). This is now consistent with the windows lookup wizard
