• Enhancement: function MsgDate() increased used font:

viewtopic.php?p=196570#p196570

• Enhancement: samples\design.prg now support bitmaps controls too:

viewtopic.php?p=196228#p196228

• Enhancement: Class TBitmap Method cGenPRG() was missing.

• Fix: Classes TSay and TGet Method cGenPrg() were not using the
  supplied parameter lDlgUnits. Now it is ok:

viewtopic.php?p=196242#p196242

• Enhancement: datarow.prg: Default dialog displays prompts fully
  when the prompts contain CRLF.

• Enhancements: TPanel.prg: Now resizeable image brushes and
  gradient brushes also work on tpanel.

• Fix: XImage: When ximage is created in another control or child
  window/dialog, dragging ximage is moving the parent also. Fixed

• New: TFont class new METHOD Clone(). If a font is cloned, the
  new cloned font has to be release separately.

• XBROWSE:

• Enhancement: Automatic Recalculation of Totals:
  (a) When a column has an aggregate footer type (eg. AGGR_SUM)
  and edited inline, that column's totals are recalculated
  automatically. This recalculation is not compatible with programmer's
  direct call to MakeTotals(). Now the incompatibility is removed.
  (b) In the above case, only the changed column's totals were
  beging recalculated. Now all depedent columns' totals are also
  recomputed.

• New: DATA lSeekBar (default .f.)
  DATA oFilterCol (default nil)
  When lSeekBar is set to .T. and oBrw:oSeek is nil, oBrw:cSeek
  is displayed in the header bar in the column being searched in
  incremental seek mode. In case of incremental filter, the
  programmer need to specify oFilterCol also in addition to
  cFilterFld if cSeek is to be shown in the bar.

• FWMARIADB:

• Autoreconnection in case of lost connections:
  If connection is lost during execution of a program
  either due to timeout or network disconnection,
  next sql execution automatically tries to reconnect
  and proceed with the execution normally.
  This new feature is under testing and further
  improvement.

• Server variables can now be accessed and modified
  like DATAs of connection object.
  Examples:
  ? oCn:max_allowed_packet
  if oCn:wait_timeout < 3600
  oCn:wait_timeout := 3600
  endif

• MySql native functions can be executed like METHODs
  of connection object, using Harbour variables as
  parameters.
  ? oCn:DATEDIFF( Date(), dOldDate )
  ? oCn:UTC_TIMESTAMP()

• Simpler way to open a table as rowset
  oRs := oCn:customer
  XBROWSER oRs

• METHOD HideServer(). If called, the details of server
  name/address, user name are hidden from the application
  program.

• New function: FW_DemoDB(). Connects to a demo MySql
  server in the cloud for testing samples, when user does
  not have access to his own server.

• New DATAs IsMySql and IsMariaDB
  Whether the connected server is MySql server or MariaDB
  server.

• New DATA nVersion: Server version in Numeric value
  Eg Usage:

If oCn:IsMariaDB or oCn:nVersion >= 5.63
// do something
endif

• New: DATA bTrigger in Rowset: If assigned, the codeblock
  is evaluated with the rowset object and the field name in
  lowercase as parameters everytime any field is modified.
  This can be used for automatic internal calculations.

• Fix: Incremental filter in xbrowse is not working when
  oBrw:cFilterFld is assigned a value. Fixed.

Hello,

FWMARIADB does support a build in server?.

Thank you!.

In TGraph there are still a couple of calls to Lfn2Sfn(), that is definitely an obsolete function. Can you remove it?

Enrico,

What to use as a replacement for Lfn2Sfn() ? thanks

You can just delete it. We don't need of short file names any longer.

EMG

Implemented in next FWH version, thanks

When and why they stopped working ?

But FWH apps may run on older Windows versions

Are we breaking backwards compatibility with this change ?
