---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0606140 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch provides enhancement and/or defect fixes for the eloqcore program as released with Eloquence B.07.10. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.07.10 release. Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE71-0606140: BUX FIX Superseded patches: PE71-0606090: ENHANCEMENT PE71-0602284: BUX FIX PE71-0602100: BUX FIX Patch PE71-0606140 ------------------ Platforms: Windows * The keyboard mapping was incomplete (#2913). The following keys and key combinations are now correctly handled: Alt+L - move to end of display Alt+S - halt / single step (also Shift+F1) Alt+G - advanced step (also Shift+F2) PAUSE - equivalent to Alt+S (halt / single step) also in combination with Shift and/or Alt Ctrl+PAUSE - equivalent to Ctrl+Y (suspend program execution) * Some special keys were not correctly handled and caused eloqcore to abort unexpectedly (#3065). * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.11" Patch PE71-0606090 ------------------ Platforms: All * eloqcore was enhanced to increase the memory available to program variables (#3103). The available memory to program variables was increased and made configurable. It now defaults to 1 MB. Previous versions were limited to 256 KB for program variables. Notes: - The MEMSIZ function may be used in an application to obtain the currently unused amount of memory available to program variables. - The diagnostic statement DUMP VARIABLES was improved to output additional information. - The eloqcore memory requirements will grow by 1 MB for each process. Depending on the system configuration and utilization this may require extending the available swap space. * A MEMSIZE config item was added to the eloquence config file (e.g. eloq.config or .eloqrc) to allow configuring the memory available to program variables in eloqcore. The following syntax is supported: MEMSIZE [size] [k|m] Where size is a numeric value in the range of 1 to 1000. Optionally a unit may be specified (k = kilo bytes, m = mega bytes). If the unit is not present, then the value is assumed to be in kilo bytes. By default a memory size of 1 MB is used. * Handle segment total overflow more gracefully (#2960) A program that exceeds the limit of the backwards compatible program format may fail to load. This change attempts to work around the problem. For new programs it is recommended to use the newer program file format introduced with A.06.00. Platforms: Windows * Fixed problem with MS telnet server to make the function keys work as expected. The function keys were not correctly decoded because the MS telnet server unexpectedly returns any function keys with the ENHANCED_KEY state set. * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.10" Patch PE71-0602284 ------------------ Platforms: Windows * A WAIT or SLEEP statement on Windows could cause the next DLG DO to return a rule value of -32768 (#3033). * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.8" Patch PE71-0602100 ------------------ Platforms: All * When caching is enabled a status code -809:225 could be returned on a database request. This patch incorporates database client library B.07.10.03 that fixes this problem. For details please refer to patch PE71-0602090 Workaround: To workaround this problem the EQ_DBACHE environment variable may be set to disable the use of caching: EQ_DBCACHE=0 * Changed the Windows file version to "7.1.0.7" Installation: ------------- Please download the patch archive that corresponds with the installed release.
