2011/03/24 - Version 2011 R02¶

  • New object type: Floating Hyperlink.
  • User rights overview page displays an extended folder access information (read-write, read-only or mixed state)
  • fix: Issue manager didn't display folder name and folder login if the folder was opened via startpage.
  • Issues may be filtered by type and username (easier to find entries of a specific user during phone support session), added
    autorefresh after 5 minutes idle and issue count into the window title. Detail page displays issue type and a new "Urgent" field.
  • fix: Floating checkboxes couldn't be disabled. ("Enabled" property was ignored)
  • fix: Export to excel icon was always visible in the menu, even for views with disabled export. (just a cosmetic issue - the export failed anyway)

• MexInterop
  • fix/improvement: "Couldn't save the clipboard, because it's empty" is now less frequent (shouldn't appear at all). 1) Collision timeout increased from 2 to 5 seconds, 2) the clipboard is released immediately after capture, before saving the image.
  • Added Services class. (for shutting down Alea server)

2011/02/14 - Version 2011 R01¶

• WebClient
  • fix: Login page displays default maintainance message instead of an empty message box in case that no custom maintainance message is defined.
  • fix/improvement: header/footer page simplified; script error doesn't appear on browser exit anymore if a debugger is attached to the browser.
  • Error message box replaced by a new user-friendly error page (failure_open) that displays all details at one place and logs the errors into a database (optional).
  • User's database login name is stored to logfile also in case that the folder is opened successfuly. (Action OPENFOLDER in the logfile)
  • Faster opening of views. Reduced disk I/O operations by merging several function calls, which saves at least 950ms on each view change, recalculation and any other operation that causes view refresh. (@ the dev.machine) This optimization might be even more significant in a multi-user server environment. (Merged .xRemoteCall.MaximizeServer,GetMessageOnViewLoaded,GetVectormode into an existing GetViewInfo call and all floating objects are returned by a single GetFloatingObjects call. 54 read/write operations saved in total.
  • New "Quick Search" feature: It's now possible to open views faster by placing a filename into the clipboard and ctrl+clicking on the search icon. Ctrl+Click selects the view in the tree (if found) and Ctrl+Alt+Click opens the view instantly. This also works for hidden views.
  • Added a new "pin" icon to the left toolbar that allows to disable closing the left toolbar after a view is opened. (Couldn't find a suitable icon so it's currently just a clickable transparent area)
  • Internal stuff: Vars.User.MailAddress variable, Vars.Session, FailureLog classes, removed Base.GSC wrapper function.
  • Issue Management page for reviewing web client errors.
• Engine Controller
  • Start/Stop menu items now start/stop all engines in the list.
